World of Tanks developer Wargaming.net is making a bid for the mainland Chinese market. Gamasutra reports the company has signed a deal with KongZhong Corporation to publish its range locally. Although Wargaming.net has several popular free to play titles, World of Tanks is the biggie, with up to 450,000 players online simultaneously.

Wargaming.net’s announced a donation run for several military-based US charities within World of Tanks. As part of National Military Appreciation Month, AMVETS, Homes for our Troops, the Military Families Fund and Paralyzed Veterans of America will receive 10% of proceeds given from all US-based purchases of gold packs and 75% of the T14 package.

Wargaming.net, the developer behind the (apparently) hit MMO, World of Tanks, announced today that its community had hit a massive 18 million registrants. Now, as you’ve probably already guessed, that does not mean they have 18 million players, or even “active” registrants.

It simply means that 18 million people have registered to play the game. However, for a niche MMO that isn’t getting a lot of coverage in the press, it’s success seems as unstoppable as…well a tank. Wargaming.net has not disclosed where its players are coming from which could be interesting, as World of Tanks was initially released in Russia.
