[h2]World of Warships Account System Update[/h2]


Last year, we announced changes to how the account system worked. These were aimed at helping players manage their accounts while providing greater flexibility for future technical improvements by our developers.

In case you missed it, that first update enabled players with multiple accounts across different regions to use a single set of credentials to log in, play, and manage all of their linked Wargaming accounts.

These changes only affect account management, and don't provide any regional crossplay functionality or affect your accounts' in-game progress.

Players affected by these changes first began receiving notices in late October 2024, prompting them to resolve detected account conflicts, as our system had identified other owned accounts with overlapping credentials.

As outlined in our initial article, these prompts were not mandatory initially, but they will become so later, when the next system update is deployed in the first half of February 2025. We took this approach to give affected players time to be notified, then identify and resolve any conflicts with their accounts.

Work in Progress: Update 14.1 Round 2.



This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 14.1. For more information, visit the relevant link:

EU

IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.

[h2]“Remembrance of Ming's Past” Adventure[/h2]

The Seven Voyages of Zheng He are famous across China. Sent by the Ming dynasty to improve relations with foreign powers and bolster trade, Zheng He commanded huge fleets loaded with expensive gifts and trade goods to such far places as Hormuz in the Persian Gulf and Mogadishu in Africa. We are honoring this famous explorer in a new adventure that will run through Updates 14.1 and 14.2 and will provide many opportunities to earn your own World of Warships riches along the way!



During this adventure, completing missions will earn you the new "The Ming Legacy" flag and Zheng He's Voyages patch, as well as some Adventure Tokens that you can spend on various containers in the Armory. Alternatively, you can exchange them for Ming's Voyage Tokens that you can use to obtain thematic rewards: new IX Taihang
, the Chinese Treasure Ship permanent camouflage for her, and Commander Zheng He himself.



[h2]"The Finest Hour" Collection and a New Unique Dutch Commander[/h2]

Conrad Helfrich was a lieutenant admiral of the Royal Netherlands Navy and overall commander of the Dutch naval forces in Southeast Asia during World War II. In the first stages of the Pacific War, he was one of the most successful Allied commanders in that theater. We honor this military juggernaut with a special collection dedicated to his memory.



You can get collection elements from the "The Finest Hour" standard containers, which you can obtain in exchange for Adventure Tokens earned from adventure missions. It’s possible to earn enough Adventure Tokens to complete the collection in its entirety.

Note that you must make a choice to either get the unique Dutch Commander for Adventure Tokens or save them and spend on IX Taihang
after the Adventure ends. Tokens obtainable from missions and bundles for resources in the Armory can’t cover both rewards.
