Elusive_Brit Beta Tester 2 posts 615 battles Report post #1 Posted August 7, 2015 I bought HMS Warspite during the CBT and have been away since the OBT started. But I have realised that I have lost the Warspite has it been taken out of the game and if so what did I receive for it? I only ask because I have kept the USS Sims and this seemed strange.

The Warspite was only available for a limited time after the start of OBT and has now been removed from sale for the foreseeable future 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PORT] Atris2nd Beta Tester 333 posts 6,438 battles Report post #5 Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah but you didn't rebuy it after the OBT wipe. So now you have the gold refunded to you and you can no longer purchase Warspite outside of whenever WG adds it for events or such. Buy something else with your gold or just save it for Tirpitz, perhaps? It's unlikely that Warspite will appear in the ingame shop for gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, if you bought her at the very start of OBT when she was still available then yes, but now you cannot buy her any more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caninoman_1978 Players 15 posts 502 battles Report post #8 Posted August 11, 2015 I was going to put the same link. Not veeeery expensive, to say the least. In Wot the 100 euro packs are "legendary". If they can vuy it, we would be able to do it. Sooner or later they have to do it, when they'll introduce the Royal Navy in the game. So perhaps is a matter of time. On EU, we had the Mikasa sold for some days, RU not, etc. I suposse these offers will rotate from server to server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FIFO] ilhilh [FIFO] Beta Tester 2,451 posts 7,514 battles Report post #10 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) It was bought with dubloons and as such it got taken off you and your gold was refunded. It then was in the premium shop for 1 week when OBT started but, like you, I was on holiday and missed it. I did raise a ticket asking if anything could get done about it (the dubloons were still sat in my account) and the first response was a cut and paste reply telling me what had happened (which I already knew). I replied and said I knew what had happened but I made the point that I was on holiday and 1 week of sale during the middle of summer is not enough time. The second response seemed to be from a real human who apologised but said it would likely appear very occasionally in the future. So, the first answer was tough **** and the second answer was essentially tough **** again, but at least the second was was polite...

Vogel Alpha Tester 2,062 posts 4,171 battles Report post #16 Posted August 12, 2015 Didn't have the time to buy it after OB, and the support team couldn't manually add it ingame. So I really hope that it will be added to the ingame store soon, since the Russian server cluster could buy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[1UP] Ectar_ Alpha Tester, Players 676 posts 922 battles Report post #22 Posted August 13, 2015 I bought HMS Warspite during the CBT and have been away since the OBT started. But I have realised that I have lost the Warspite has it been taken out of the game and if so what did I receive for it? I only ask because I have kept the USS Sims and this seemed strange. The Warspite wasn't a pre-order ship. The tokens you spent in CBT were refunded to you as dubloons in OBT. It may return as it appears to have popped up on the RU server. No guarantees of course https://ru.wargaming.net/shop/wows/?utm_source=global-nav&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=wows-portal&utm_content=premium-shop It's available now on the RU server because they didn't offer it at the start of OBT like we did in Europe. Same offer just different time period basically. The Warspite was available to purchase for players at the start of the EU OBT for roughly about 2 weeks. It "may" come back later to EU however as to when that will be, we can't give you any hints. I can only advise checking the news articles once in a while and the forums as once it does come up for sale again, everyone will be talking about it. Personally it's one of my favourite ships, tied with the New Mexico. It's easily my favourite credit grinder and able to dish out hurt to much higher tier ships thanks to it's 15 inch guns.

[ST-EU] Dr_Snuggles Weekend Tester, In AlfaTesters 88 posts 7,144 battles Report post #23 Posted August 13, 2015 One of the best things of the Warspite are the Chat reactions.. In this ship you never get "Premium-Noob".. just "How did you get that ship?" Nice little difference to Atlanta or Atago 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We should have kept more ships as museum ships. Warspite more than earned a place next to HMS Warrior and HMS Victory. A sad ending for an amazing ship 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
