Wargaming.net announced today that World of Tanks has reached the milestone of 5 million registered accounts worldwide on the eve of the game's one-year anniversary! Players will be receiving presents to mark the game's birthday, and they'll be announced shortly.

The game's popularity has been steadily growing throughout the year.  On January 23, World of Tanks set a Guinness World Record when the peak number of concurrent users reached 91,311 on the Russian server. However, the PCU number has been steadily growing since the record day and is now topping 172,000.

The game's Facebook page also boasts more than 100,000 fans. Once the page hits 200,000 fans, Wargaming.net is going to celebrate by hosting a 5x exp event on the American and European servers.
