Whois & Analysis for worldoftanks.eu

World of Tanks is a massively multiplayer online game developed by the Belarusian-Cypriot company Wargaming, featuring early to mid-20th century era combat vehicles.

It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for use of "premium" features.

The focus is on player vs.

player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle, which may be a light, medium or heavy tank, tank destroyer, or self-propelled gun.

World of Tanks debuted as an eSports game at the World Cyber Games 2012.

Free-to-play (F2P) refers to video games which give players access to a significant portion of their content without paying.

There are several kinds of free-to-play games, but the most common is based on the freemium software model.

For freemium games, users are granted access to a fully functional game, but must pay microtransactions to access additional content.

Free-to-play can be contrasted with pay to play, in which payment is required before using a service for the first time.

A wargame (also war game) is a strategy game that deals with military operations of various types, real or fictional.

Wargaming is the hobby dedicated to the play of such games, which can also be called conflict simulations, or consims for short.

When used professionally by the military to study warfare, "war game" may refer to a simple theoretical study or a full-scale military exercise.

Hobby wargamers have traditionally used "wargame", while the military has generally used "war game"; this is not a hard and fast rule.

Although there may be disagreements as to whether a particular game qualifies as a wargame or not, a general consensus exists that all such games must explore and represent some feature or aspect of human behaviour directly bearing on the conduct of war, even if the game subject itself does not concern organized violent conflict or warfare.

Business wargames exist as well, but in general, they are only role-playing games based on market situations.

A multiplayer online game is a multiplayer video game which can be played via a game server over the internet, with other players around the world.

Some prominent examples of this include fighting games (e.g. Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6), sports games (e.g. NHL 14 and Grid Autosport), older online games (e.g. Sega Meganet titles), first-person shooters (Battlefield 2, BZFlag, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Quake 3, Resistance 3 and Unreal Tournament), a subgenre of shooter games called hero shooter (Battleborn, Overwatch and ), strategy video games (e.g. Warcraft 3 and StarCraft or ) and a subgenre of strategy games called multiplayer online battle arena (e.g. Defense of the Ancients, League of Legends, Dota 2 and Heroes of the Storm).

The War on Terror (WoT), also known as the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), is a metaphor of war referring to the international military campaign that started after the September 11th attacks on the United States.

The Bush administration and the Western media have since used the term to argue a global military, political, legal, and conceptual struggle against both terrorist organizations and against the regimes accused of supporting them.

It was originally used with a particular focus on countries associated with Islamic terrorist organizations including al-Qaeda and like-minded organizations.
