World of Tanks
Tanks up a world record for most players online simultaneously.
The record was registered on January 23 rd, 2011 when the number of players on the game’s Russian server totaled 91,311.
“We are excited to see so many people playing World of Tanks and the new record is an important achievement for us,” said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming.net. “However, with the population of the game growing steadily another week or two would let us report a more impressive record as the current PCCU number surpasses 120,000 players”.
Wargaming.net wants to thank all World of Tanks fans that made this record possible.
