World of Tanks

In the last few days I've been playing World of Tanks which is currently in Closed Beta. I must say I am pleased that I haven't come across any bugs aside from disconnecting somewhat frequently, but from what I've gathered the server is located either in Russia or Germany so my pings have been on the high side. The game on the other hand is a blast and I've been having a lot of fun with it. The concept is rather simple and reminds me of battlegrounds in World of Warcraft. Basically, your tank, or tanks, improve as your crew gains experience and as you research and purchase upgrade modules using credits earned from battles. Eventually you may acquire new and better tanks as you advance through different branches of a tree which feature different type of tanks and mobile artillery. For the Beta test there are only Russian and German tanks available but I've heard that more countries are to be available upon release. Some may not prefer this game as their main game but as a F2P MMO it is a great 2nd game, however I've been having so much fun with it that I haven't played anything else since the beginning of the Closed Beta.
