UPDATE
September 20, in the year of our Lord 2013 —
Wargaming, the leading free-to-play MMO developer and publisher,
today announced that its highly anticipated flight combat action
MMO World of Warplanes, is now planned to release on November 12
and 13. The worldwide release of World of Warplanes will be made
available to different regions on both dates. The postponement
seeks to offer gamers a richer, more immersive multiplayer
experience at launch.
“We are committed to releasing a great title and are doing
everything to ensure that World of Warplanes gets the final
polish we believe the game needs,” said Vlad Belozerov, World of
Warplanes' Director of Global Operations. “The extra time will
allow the development team to fine-tune the game balance and
make sure that every feature is top-notch before launch.”
When World of Warplanes goes live, experience points earned
during the open beta will not be reset. To reward beta testers
for their feedback and participation, their total sum of
experience points will be evenly distributed between the pilots
of low-level warplanes from the five national lines, featured in
the game at release.
