This was the first step, followed by months of hard work. The result is the complete structural and financial division of the two companies. Today, World of Warships and other products are operated by two independent companies: by Lesta Games in Russia and Belarus, and by Wargaming in all other countries. The next big step is [b]to launch a special transfer campaign for CIS players who wish to stay with Wargaming and continue playing on Steam.[/b] Transfer is a crucial activity where every player from CIS realm will need to decide on how to continue playing the game. Below you can find the key points about this procedure: [olist][*]In [b]September[/b], CIS servers will be turned off for Steam players. [*]If you already have an account on CIS region, you will have an opportunity to transfer your CIS account to EU region and continue playing on Steam. [*]If you don’t want to transfer your account to EU region, unfortunately, you will not be able to continue playing on Steam.[/olist] Providing high quality service and ensuring the comfort of our players will always remain our priority. We will keep your account progress and all applicable terms and conditions, including pricing principles, as well as the core set of services you are used to, no matter where you continue playing. We understand that this is a big and serious decision for our players, and we will do our best to make it a smooth and easy experience for everyone.
