I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for having events and to recognize Veterans like myself and the countless others of us who are vets. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

Any news on tomorrow's special? I want to pick up a few more T14 packages (probably spent over $200 on those already, but the gold, garage slots, and donation is just too persuasive) and see if there's anything I can spend some of it on, like:
  • 50% discount on ALL premiums tanks at tier 5 and below
  • 50% discount on crew retraining
  • 50% discount on camo
  • 90% discount on crew retraining <== probably the most anticipated
  • 100% increase in amount of XP converted through gold
I (and probably many others) will happily spend a ton of gold on these specials :Smile_honoring:

I dontated right to the scorce, 15 dollars to the vets, better than 1.49 , helps them out more.

Thanks for helping WOT I am a Vet from the vietnam era,  BUt giving to the scorce helps vets out more. I would change mond if they kept 10% but that is just me

If I could donate, I would donate as much as I could. These people served our country, whether it be for 20 or 2 years, and that is more than I can say for myself. If you can donate, please do so.

"Each week in May, one of the veteran organizations in our charity drive will receive ten percent of the proceeds from the $14.95 and $49.95 gold packages purchased from the North American cluster on the Get Gold page and in the Gift Shop. In addition, 75 percent of the proceeds of the $7.99 T14 tank Gift Shop package (T14 + garage slot + 1000 gold) purchased throughout the month of May will be divided between the four organizations."

this make the T14 package WAY more appealing to me

PS: Anyone know what the value of the T14 is in gold if you already own one?

1500g is the value of the tank Millbarge!  So if you already have the T-14 and you get it again it's 2500g plus a garage slot. Can't beat that!!  I've gotten a few myself, hehe.

Thanks!

Not a huge fan of giving WG more money,

but if most of it goes to helping Vets,

than i figure its worth it

Wish I'd known this yesterday when I bought gold. I'll buy more T-14 specials, though.

Now when is our weekly special going to be announced?

Go to the Vet Sites and there you can donate what you can afford and it all goes to the Charity of your choice, As a veteran I give 100% to the Charities that help the Vets, I am strange that way, Not to take away from WG making money.
