Pilots and Commanders!
We want to inform you about an upcoming change to how in-game resources work between World of Tanks and World of Warplanes.
If you only play one game, nothing changes for you.
The shared economy between the two games will be split. Gold and Free Experience will no longer be shared across World of Tanks and World of Warplanes, and each game will operate with its own independent economy.
Why Are We Making This Change?
Over the years, World of Tanks and World of Warplanes have evolved in different directions, with distinct progression, balance, and reward systems. The shared economy was introduced when the games were much closer in structure, but as they have grown, maintaining separate economies allows each title to continue developing in a healthy and fair way.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you only play one game, nothing changes for you. Your account and existing progress remain safe.
If you play both games:
- After the maintenance for World of Warplanes update 2.1.38 on March 10, 2026, all Gold and Free Experience present on player accounts will remain unchanged in World of Tanks, and you will also receive the same amount in World of Warplanes as Crowns and Free XP.
- You will continue using your resources normally within each respective game. This results in two independent balances, one for each game.
Technical Details and What Exactly Is Changing
To ensure full clarity, here is a detailed breakdown of how the economy split will work in practice.
- World of Warplanes will introduce a new premium currency called Crowns. Crowns will be used for all premium transactions in World of Warplanes, including Premium Account time, aircraft, consumables, boosters, experience conversion, and any other purchases that previously required Gold.
- All in-game prices and item values in World of Warplanes will remain unchanged. One Crown will match the previous Gold value exactly.
- All compensations for aircraft already present in a player’s Hangar will be paid in Crowns.
- Free Experience will continue to function the same way within each game, including earning it in battles or converting vehicle experience. However, Free Experience will no longer be shared between World of Tanks and World of Warplanes.
- Supply Crates opened before March 10, 2026, will continue to drop Gold. Supply Crates opened after the economy split will drop Crowns instead.
- The Wargaming Premium Account will remain shared across all games and is not affected by this change.
Thank you for your support!
