As far as I understood, WoT doesn´t have so many players, because it has tanks, tactic, graphics or other realism in any way. It is simply addictive due to the scoring and leveling system. Not a single WoT player will move to CloD because in CloD you can drive around in a tank - no the WoT machinery is all about "claning", "leveling", "farming" and who spents more real money into it and is on the score board.
Though I never player WoT, I still play Navyfield from time to time, it is basically the same approach to the teenies wallet.

well, you are wrong.... on EU server sometimes i see more than 70,000 players online at the same time, on russian and US I think are 2 or 3 times more... and looking at the sold premium tanks (yes, you can buy some tanks that are better credit maker) the players are alot and the devs income also (calculating only the sold tanks of 1 type, they did something like 6,000,000 of euro) add to this the premiums accounts (10 euro every month) and the other tanks and you'll have an idea of what they will earn with this game. To be honest, I play it, but if you really want to advance you have to pay, so this is not a true free to play, but a pay to win. Sorry for the offtopic.

EDIT:
sorry, just realized that some page ago was talked about this... I wrote the same things...

It’s clear this has now been addressed and will hopefully be in the next patch, I would imagine the massive FPS increase as allowed them to now have a permanent landscape (i.e. cant increase decrease tree amounts), which the guy working on ground vehicles would of insisted on, you see if you had hidden your tank in the woods but your opponent can’t see the woods because he's turned them off it kind of destroys any idea of having ground vehicles that can be used in a simulation/ground war. So, by introducing drivable vehicles we will have a more realistic sim with tree collision and a permanent landscape so I think that it’s great news.

Wouldn't a solution to this problem be tree settings as a server parameter? Different servers would support different tree densities and everyone would be on a level playing field then?

"sorry mates, cant play on ATAG, i dont have the pc to run the trees". not reliable.

Hats off to you, Tree. You are quite possibly the most passive aggressive human being on the planet with the possible exception of my mother.

lol, everyone who as doubts about issues here as had to become passive aggressive, speaking your mind only earns you ban points. I'd much rather be straight to the point but its not healthy.

I agree toning your posts down to only veiled insults are less likely to get you banned. Well done.
