	<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/02/world-of-tanks-sets-new-pccu-record-boasts-40-million-registere/"><img alt="World of Tanks sets new PCCU record, boasts 40 million registered users" data-src-height="217" data-src-width="530" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/80684.jpg" /></a></div>
OK, let's start with the standard disclaimer. Registered users doesn't mean active users, and in today's free-to-play climate it certainly doesn't mean paying users. That said, 40 million of anything is a fairly staggering amount, and it just so happens that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/wargaming.net">Wargaming.net</a> has 40 million registered users for its <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-tanks"><em>World of Tanks</em></a> title.<br />
<br />
The game has also set a new peak concurrent user (PCCU) record thanks to over 500,000 players simultaneously connecting to its Russian shard. <em>World of Tanks</em> recently released its <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/26/world-of-tanks-rolls-out-improved-physics-and-lighting/">8.0 patch</a> which brought about a physics and lighting overhaul. Head to the official website to check out the game for yourself, or tune in to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> this Saturday at 1:00 p.m. EDT to watch us play.<br />
