Transferring an Account from the CIS Server to the Europe
Dear players!
On April 4, we announced that all operations pertaining to Wargaming games in Russia and Belarus—operations for World of Tanks Blitz in particular—would be transferred to Lesta Games. This was the first step of a long-term strategy, resulting in the complete structural and financial divergence between the two companies. In terms of business and operation, World of Tanks Blitz and other products are currently managed by two independent companies: Lesta Games in Russia and Belarus, and Wargaming in all other countries.
The next important step will be the launch of a special account transfer campaign. Players who want to stay with Wargaming and continue playing via Steam will need to move from the CIS server to the Europe server.
Account transfer is an important step: Each player on the CIS server will need to decide which server to continue playing on. Below you can find the key points of this process.
High-quality services and player comfort have always been our top priority and remain so moving forward. Regardless of the server you choose to continue playing on, we will retain all progress and all in-game assets, as well as the key services that our players are used to.
We understand that this is a significant and momentous decision for our players, and we will do everything possible to make it as easy for everyone as possible.

[/h2]
HOW WILL THE ACCOUNTS BE TRANSFERRED?
Soon, when logging into the game, all players on the CIS server will see special information windows. Through them, we will ask some players to add an email or password to their account.
All Steam players on the CIS server will be given the option to transfer their account to the Europe server to continue playing WoT Blitz on their current account, while their data will continue to be processed by Wargaming.
HOW WILL MY ACCOUNT CHANGE AFTER THE TRANSFER?
If you choose to transfer your account to the Europe server, you will keep all vehicles, credits, gold, other resources, all assets in the Storage, all statistics, and even your nickname, if it's not used by another player. If your nickname is already taken, your new nickname on the Europe server will appear as follows: "Your_nickname_on_CIS_server_account_ID." The list of friends will also change, and you will no longer be a member of a clan.

Account transfer is an important step: Each player on the CIS server will need to decide which server to continue playing on. Below you can find the key points of this process.
- The CIS server will soon disappear from World of Tanks Blitz. Moreover, new players from Russia and Belarus will not be able to register a new World of Tanks Blitz account via Steam.
- New players from countries that were previously included in the CIS server (except for Russia and Belarus) will still be able to install World of Tanks Blitz via Steam and create an account. When registering, they will be offered the Europe server.
- If you already have an account on the CIS server, you will be given the option to transfer it to the Europe server and continue playing via Steam.
- If you don't want to transfer your account to the EU region (Europe server), unfortunately, you won't be able to continue playing via Steam.
