Gold in WoT - Hard copy is back in play as an option

Nody

Once again play.com has the WoT hard copy at a price to go for it at 6.99 EUR which is the only way I'd recommend buying gold for now. Why?

WoT box gives you 1 week of premium, 2k gold, 50k silver, a premium T2 tank (worth around 150k silver) with a new tank slot (and you keep on getting slots if you sell of the tank before using your next code, at least I did on my initial two boxes). All of this for a cost of 6.99 EUR.

Now lets compare to the most common gold package, the 5.5k gold for 19.95.

On gold alone you're ahead (2k gold / 6.99 = 286.12 gold per cent vs. 5.5k gold / 19.95 = 275,69 gold per cent) but on top of that you get for free 1 week of premium, 200k silver (selling the tank) AND a free garage slot worth 300 gold.

You can't get premium account status much cheaper then that and as a bonus you get a free garage slot AND silver as well.

Personally I've just ordered another 5 boxes (that's 10k gold, 5 tank slots, 1 Mil silver and 5 weeks of premium) for 34,95 EUR

bought 3 as i have the years premium already, but needed gold. the site says they are waiting for stock though , so it could be awhile before we see an arrival

Nody

Well I got premium to May or June so I'm not in a hurry :P

Zavvi also sells them for 8.45 (plus shipping, discount in groups of 3, 25 something with shipping for 3) which works out positive in price as well vs. Wargaming.net's prices . Zavvi lists them for shipping on 19th of March so quite a while away.

Very tempted to order a few boxes....
Thanks for the info (I think )

Question: Are you sure they haven't restricted the use of the codes?

Nody

My credit card got charged today by Play.com and my 5 boxes are listed as "Processing in warehouse" so I guess the shipment arrived (Play usually only charge once they got the stock).

Forgot to add to Phil; Wargaming have confirmed on their site by a developer that you'll always get the gold, premium and the credit; they also said if you had the tank in the garage you'd not get the tank (but if you sell the tank it's not in your garage). The only code you can't use is the new starter code (1k gold, 3 days premium) as it can only be activated once someone starts a new account (I tried and it did not work on my account) but that's a seperate code.

Just had my Zavvi once get billed and shipped as well (was originally listed for mid March) along with my Play.com orders so I guess Wargaming send out a batch to all suppliers; any luck Merc?

Zavvi have them for £18 for 3, or £6.95 each, free delivery

Nody

Well there's still Zavvi with 3 for 18 GBP (not as good but from their euro prices still better then buying the 19.95 package on gold alone).

Well I currently have 4 months of premium status and bought the Batchat with the gold and silver from the boxes so I only got the AMX50B to go (and that one I'm grinding out)

Codes used successfully also now have 4 invite codes if anyone is interested just ask.

Any updates on this or is the zavvi 3 boxes for £18.99 still the best deal?

Currently the best deal as Play is to expensive

As noted though Zavvi is still not shipping anything by the looks of it though (I got 3 boxes outstanding).

Might buy them at GAME when they go bankrupt. Reduced prices
