But you can continue showing your famous “hit collection”. There are so many players that didn’t saw it here)

Then how do you explain the complete absence of references to gaijin entertainment (only Pixel is mentioned there, gaijin does not seem to exist) on the new website for the CIS, as well as in the legal documents linked from there, it resembles the situation with Wargaming and Lesta.(where there is no mention either.)

A good solution would be a response from the developer, but they have not had any dialogue with the CIS community for a long time.

Maybe create a local Russian-language discussion for now?

mehhh, but I’m wondering what will happen if I create a new account on the CIS server at the same email as the main account before all this? If the words Stona_WT are true, then there is only one game server, so will the new account replace the old one or transfer the existing one to the CIS? really scrupulous

it’s better not to do that

I read this, but the wording is not very clear, I’m just wondering what will actually happen))
I don’t want to check it)

If I don’t migrate, what language will I have to write to technical support?

In your native language.

on any

So PixelStorm and Gaijin will have 2 Russian-speaking support teams?

yes

And at the same time, no East Slavic subforum is implied?

The FAQ said that they’re working on letting global accounts post on the Pixelstorm forum and vice versa by next week so it’s probably unnecessary at this point, just wait.

I do not understand the question.
Check out the new developer answers.

I’ve been told to post my questions here, and I hope @Stona_WT, as the Global Community Manager, can answer them.

Context first:

  • Ukraine isn’t part of the CIS region and isn’t listed among CIS publisher-supported regions. This makes the Ukrainian community part of the Global region.
  • Since CIS publishers use Russian IT infrastructure (like Yandex Cloud), which is heavily blocked in Ukraine and randomly inaccessible, Ukrainians who transferred to CIS regions without a second thought suffer from connectivity and payment issues.
  • Most Ukrainians are bilingual, but if provided with a choice, the majority will now pick and use the Ukrainian language. Even Gaijin acknowledges this by supporting Ukrainian localization, making a Ukrainian landing page for new players ( _warthunder.com/ua/enjoy#/ ), and having the EULA available in Ukrainian.
  • The forum.warthunder.ru (now the CIS forum) supports only one language, and it was not possible to do things like make translations of news/dev/patch notes or ask/answer questions in our native language. The Global forum has a place for this in the “National communities” sub-forum, where players from other nations with in-game localization do exactly that (all, except Ukrainian)

So with that context in mind, the questions:

  1. Will Gaijin add a Ukrainian sub-forum to “National communities,” since it’s impossible to have a place for the Ukrainian community in the CIS forum? Surely, the lack of a fluent moderator may be one thing preventing this, but after a quick look at other communities in the sub-forum, many are functioning even without a dedicated moderator.

  2. Will Gaijin improve communication with the Ukrainian community by translating official news/dev blogs on the (currently partly translated) Ukrainian WT site _warthunder.com/ua ? Someone in this thread recalled the negative effects of the publisher split in that other game, but I can argue that after such a split, that company drastically improved interaction with its Ukrainian community, which migrated to the Global version, fully translating all community content and news, and even going as far as making Twitch streams in Ukrainian.

  3. Perhaps it would be possible to add an additional disclaimer to the Migration FAQ specifically for Ukrainian players to dissuade them from migrating to the CIS region due to existing technical difficulties with connectivity and payment? This could help minimize the number of support requests for backward migration from Ukrainian players.

I hope, that this week, the players with gaijin account, can get access, to russian forum.
