Poverty is a relentless enemy. It attacks the body. It attacks the mind. It attacks the spirit. It tells children in poverty, "God doesn't care. You deserve this."
But your voice sends a different message.

Very powerful. I hope alot of churches use this!
We have recently and joyfuly have sponsored a child.
I don't want to recieve Commerical after the fact.
Thank You, Michael
There are many new people finding this site everyday, thanks for the video. My only wonder is why only say "she" poverty does not treat the male and the females differently. I may have missed it, but in my distracted life, all I saw was about the the she. Still a great video though.
This is an awesome video. I can't wait to use it.
I've noticed, too, James, that several of Compassion's videos use "she" quite a bit. I suppose it doesn't really bother me for the most part. They have to use some sort of pronoun, though perhaps in the interest of evening things out, they could alternate a bit. I'm curious, though, if it would bother you if they exclusively used "he" in the video?
I have used that saying in my email signatures. "Be a hero. Sponsor a child today." Then it has the link for Compassion. I am glad to see this. I think it would be powerful if Compassion were able to use Skillet's song hero as a song to one of their clips. Thanks for posting this.
Is the message "you don't deserve this" really Biblical? Don't we who profess to be Christians believe that "all have sinned" (Rom 3:23) and that "the wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23)? How can a sinner deserve death, but not deserve suffering? Remember what our Lord said about suffering: "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish" (Luke 13:2-3) ie, witnessing suffering in someone else should remind us of what we ALL deserve. If we forget this, there is no gospel. We will have lost the most important thing that we can share with these children: The hope of reconciliation to God, through His MERCY alone. For those of us who have been reconciled to God, children as well as adults, suffering is the means God uses to make us holy (Heb 12:6-11, 1 Pet 1:7), and is not an accident or injustice. It may not be easy to communicate this to your sponsored child, but no other message is true and no other message can give you peace in the midst of troubles.
So children who are born into privilege "deserve" that?
This comment has so angered me it's hard to find words. To let a child believe they "deserve" the abject poverty and desperation they encounter daily is reprehensible. If you live in the US, you more than likely have access to clean water, do not fight malaria or parasites, and have access to food banks and organizations that are willing to assist if you are struggling financially. These children do not have these options. I doubt most reading this will ever experience the level of suffering these children endure. There is no excuse to ever let them believe they "deserve" the conditions in which they live.
I think the words of Jesus need to be spoken here to those of you nit pickers. Matthew 23:24 "You blind guides! You strain out a gnat and swallow a camel." The point here is poverty and the children trapped in it. When one is bashed over the head again, and again, and again, and again. When one only sees black, they think that there is no hope and HOPE is what the gospel is all about. I think the blind beggar had it right when questioned by the Pharisees who it was that healed him and whether he believed this man to be a prophet, he said I don't know who he is or whether he is a prophet, all I know is that I was blind and now I see! Those trapped in poverty don't care whether Compassion uses she or he or what one thinks is Biblical or not. All they care about is whether or not there is hope out there! None of us knows anything about suffering, but they do.
Thank you! That's sort of what I was trying to say, but you said it better. And children don't deserve poverty any more than a woman who is raped deserves that. It IS an injustice. God calls us to do justice to the poor… and by that he certainly doesn't mean leave them there. He means for us to help them. Yes, we all deserve death and hell; yes, suffering is never an accident, and certainly these kids learn tremendous lessons through it; however, they need to understand that they are not suffering because they deserve it, the same way that the blind man needed to understand that he wasn't blind because he or his parents sinned. It was important because he may have been going through life beating himself up, wondering what he did to cause his blindness, and in the same way many kids in poverty do the same. That's the whole point of saying they don't deserve it; all of us are valuable in God's eyes, because he thought we were worth coming down here to suffer and die. It's not our own merit that we've achieved, it's the value he has ascribed to us. These kids are precious in God's sight. Many, however, believe they are worthless and deserving of suffering, little more than human garbage. But they are precious, special, and they DO deserve to know that.
And that's the whole point of the video. I agree, quit nit-picking. That's not the point at all. We could hash out the finer points of the video forever, but while that's being done, kids are starving to death. And Clint, you're right; they don't care. They just want somebody to care enough about them to save them.
Actually, 'she' is more likely to be in poverty.
In the US, women are 35% more likely to be poor than men. Single mothers being a factor.
On the flipside though, women file 2 out of 3 divorce papers.
Love the video. Giving you a #SubscribeSunday tomorrow afternoon on Twitter because I don't believe we can say too much about these little ones. My Veronica in Kenya is worth it, and I want to see more people pick more kids.
Hello everyone! Just wanted to quickly chime on in the "she" pronoun being used here. I actually wrote the script for this video, and honestly, as a writer I have to pick a pronoun, so the subject/verb agrees. What a boring, practical reason, huh?! But I do try to alternate the "he" and "she" pronouns.
Just wanted to clear that up!

Greetings from Maine! As we roll on into August, we're celebrating all the things we love about "Vacationland" with a Lobster and Clam Bake. From fresh lobsters and clams, to wild Blueberries and delicious desserts, Maine has a little something for everyone, so kick back with family and friends, and enjoy these
A "Berry" Good Breakfast
Grab some Maine Blueberries and treat the whole family to blueberry waffles or pancakes for breakfast with Stonewall Kitchen's Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle Mix. For the maximum Maine effect, use Kate's Butter and Real Butter Milk and top with Stonewall's Maine Maple Syrup.
For something a little lighter, Blueberry loaf breads and coffeecakes are always a favorite! Pair them with any of Stonewall's Jams or Jellies – made in York, ME – pour yourself a cup of coffee, and enjoy a nice brunch.
The "Maine" Attraction
Of course when it comes to Maine, it's all about the seafood. Our Live n' Kickin' Maine Lobsters are the highlight of any meal. For something a little simpler – and less alive – our Chef Ready Lobster Tails are great for cooking out on the grill, without all the prep work needed for a full, live lobster. Serve either with our Super Sweet Butter & Sugar Corn for a delicious, Maine inspired meal.
The Lobster Shack is also in full swing, serving up our own, fresh made Maine Lobster Rolls. Check it out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 4:30 and 6:30pm.
If you're more in the mood for clams, our Kitchen's New England Clam Chowder is sure to impress. Compliment it with some Oyster Crackers and a side of our Bakery's Fresh Baked Corn Bread for a meal that will leave you and your family in a state of pure Maine bliss. If you've got a bit more of a DIY attitude, our Maine Steaming Clams are the perfect choice for any of your favorite clam recipes.
Mousse or Moose?
The Maine celebration doesn't stop after the main course! Enjoy a slice of Maine's official State Dessert by picking up one of our Bakery's Wild Maine Blueberry Pies, and serve with a scoop of Gifford's Ice Cream, made in Skowhegan, ME.
On the other hand, Maine's official "State Treat" get's some love from our Bakery, where an assortment of Whoopie Pies are available to satisfy your sweet tooth. Steve's Whoopie Pies offer a wide assortment of flavors, including Red Velvet, Double Chocolate and more, or pick up one of our own Character Decorated, or Lemon Raspberry Whoopie Pies. Finally, if you're family is absolutely crazy about whoopie pies, The "Big Whoop" – a cake sized whoopie pie – might be just what you need.
Come down to Roche Bros. this week and treat yourself to your own little slice of Maine, right in your own backyard!

Step back in time to the 1770s with a visit to William Wordsworth's childhood home. William Wordsworth's House and Garden, in the Cumbrian town of Cockermouth, is the birthplace of the great 19th century English poet William Wordsworth.
Preserved in its original form, the house is a living and breathing time capsule of 19th century rural England. It invites visitors to gaze into a window of what life was like for Wordsworth and his family, in their small cottage home.
The beautiful Georgian home is these days populated by waves of tourists, being shown around the building by guides in authentic period costumes.
Further to the historic touches, the house includes a real log fire, traditional furniture and even the sorts of food William and his wife would have consumed, laid out on a large oak dining table. Ink and quills are laid out in the reception area, should you be inspired to write your own legendary prose and poems. There are parlour games and instruments from Wordsworth's time, for you to inspect and also try.
Good news if you are coming with kids, the children's bedroom is full of toys and dressing up clothes and in the Wordsworth's bedroom there are books and games to enjoy. For all you fans of the occult, there is even a ghost that haunts the cellar if legend proves to be true.
A man so renowned for his love of nature would understandably have kept a spotless and beautiful garden, two centuries later in the yard out yonder nothing much has changed.
A visit to Wordsworth's home is well worth it, it's a great day trip to venture out on, during your stay with us here at Beech Hill. For more information visit the National Trust Website.

The Lake District is steeped in myths and legends. Its hallowed grounds are littered with notorious characters.
The Caveman of Borrowdale
Millican Dalton, known as the Caveman of Borrowdale, was originally a London stockbroker but traded in his life in the Big Smoke for a quieter rural existence. When he first arrived in the Lake District in the early 20th century, he lived off the land, dwelling in a small tent. He later moved to a more permanent address inside a cave near Castle Crag in Borrowdale. He became one of the area's most well-known mountain guides, until he passed away at the age of 79.
Fair Maid of Buttermere
Known to some as Mary Robinson, the Fair Maid of Buttermere was in fact the innkeeper's daughter at The Fish Hotel in Buttermere. Joseph Palmer famously wrote a poem about her that brought hoards of young men to the area, seeking to catch a glimpse of the notorious beauty. She was even mentioned in Wordsworth's poem "The Prelude".
A few years later, a hotel guest introduced himself to Mary as Colonel Alexander Hope, an MP and brother to an Earl. They married later that year. Mary's husband turned out to a debt-riddled bigamist liar and he was promptly charged with fraud. His punishment was a public execution.
St Bega
St Bega was the daughter of a seventh century Irish chieftain. She fled Ireland to avoid marrying a Norse prince chosen by her father, as she had her heart set on devoting her life to God. Legend is that when she landed on these shores, she brought with her a healing bracelet that could cure a multitude of diseases.
A small church lying in a beautiful position on the edge of the Mirehouse estate by Bassenthwaite Lake is named after St Bega.

This beautiful place can inspire even the most cynical of hearts. Even the place names are romantic, for example there is Darling Fell, near Loweswater, Dovenest Crag, Borrowdale and Hartsop, near Brotherswater, to name but a few. There are no shortages of idyllic little spots and trails along which to traipse and fall in love, all over again.
Take a stroll along the shores of Ennerdale Water. There is something in the air around these parts, it's also famously the place where Bill Clinton popped the question to Hillary. Who knows, maybe you'll be making a few proposals of your own, in that exact same spot. Other beautiful walking spots include, High Sweden Bridge above Ambleside, Haystacks fell, above Buttermere and the majestic views from Ashness bridge overlooking Derwentwater.
The village of Boot in the Eskdale Valley, is simply stunning and a perfect beauty spot for a casual stroll. It is one of the more difficult areas of the Lake District to get to, so a car is a requirement. Driving to Boot, allows you to admire the dramatic peaks, including England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, and take photos of the amazing views.
The tiny village of Boot is surrounded by mountains, giving it an almost high-altitude feel. The air is alpine fresh and incredibly invigorating. The quaint hamlet, still manages to have two pubs so you won't be short of beverage choices, should you want to go inside somewhere and have a breather.
With the sun shining and the horizon extending towards the sea and imposing mountains at every turn, your troubles will melt away as you drink in one of the most beautiful and peaceful locations on the British isles.
What are you waiting for? Spend Valentines day in Britain's most romantic surroundings.

Steve "scotju" Dalton wrote on Christmas day:
This is the third time this year that Michael Voris has been attacked by members of the Church hierarchy. It's obvious that RCTV is upsetting the right people. People like this bishop of a diocese on it's way to oblivion, and bitter hate-filled laymen like Mark Shea and Dave Armstrong. These folks are sooo sensitive to the feelings of heretics, radicals, and other deviants, but when it comes to the feelings and desires of those who want the church as it has always been before Vatican II, you are suddenly transformed into a critter called a 'rad-trad'. you are accused of being a Nazi, a racist, a reactionary, . . .[two spelling corrections made]
Archbishop Allen Vigneron of the Archdiocese of Detroit (my own), had forbidden Michael Voris to use the name "Catholic" on his TV show, because of ongoing RadCathR (radical Catholic reactionary) elements of that production (made in Ferndale, Michigan).
Dalton has long been a severe critic of mine. He usually shows up when geocentrism is being discussed (he believes in that, as well as young-earth creationism), and possesses quite the uncontrolled, unbridled tongue. He seems to delight in bringing up my name in a calumnious fashion at the drop of a hat.
Apparently, I am described as "bitter hate-filled" simply because I did one little old post on Voris, objecting to his trashing of Amazing Grace as supposedly a terribly heretical Protestant song, that should never ever ever be performed in a Catholic church. I noted in my post a review of Voris' enterprise from the Catholic Culture website, that monitors the orthodoxy and fidelity of websites claiming to be Catholic. It describes Voris' liturgical opinion as "Extreme antipathy to the liturgy of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite." In my post on Amazing Grace, Dalton showed up in the combox, under the moniker "juscot."
For this unutterably wicked transgression, Dalton feels justified in publicly describing me as a "bitter hate-filled" person who supposedly (so is his strong implication by citing my name) also calls people (i.e., those who aren't such) "Nazis" (which I've never done: a thing that can be quickly verified by a search on my voluminous site). This is par for the course, in the ongoing slanderous rotgut written about me, on the Internet.
Recently, a notorious inveterate troll (on my blog and on many other sites) dredged up the ridiculous claim that I supposedly "desperately" sought to keep up a Wikipedia entry about myself, out of my alleged extreme narcissism. The truth of the matter is that I have never at any time written anything on Wikipedia about anything: no editing or writing at all there: let alone a page about myself. Someone else put one up at one time (I don't even know who that person was), and folks who made themselves my "enemies" made up this myth that I had something to do with it (following another myth that I have the most bombastic, self-inflated ego in the history of the world), and had it removed.
But getting back to Dalton, on 21 December he described my previous post as follows: "Dave Armstrong went ballistic over Voris's criticism of AG and people like me who defended it." I often observe ludicrous speculations about my supposed (imaginary, fictional) emotional or mental state being made by people who think they know all about me. This is a classic case. I challenge the reader to check out my post in order to determine whether my demeanor and tone there would lead anyone -- who didn't already have an axe to grind -- to think that I "went ballistic." If we want to see "ballistic," I submit that we ought to read some of Dalton's other ravings about myself and other Catholic apologists. For example:
Question, if Bob Sungesis [sic] is so far out on the fringe, why are people like Dave Armstrong and Dave Palm so worried about him? Why are they even paying any attention to him? Why not just ignore him? Instead, you are giving him scads of free publicity he couldn't buy at any price. With all the problems we have in the Church with queer priests corrupting young men, evolution being taught instead of creation by God, parishes closing right and left, you would think that Sungesis's [sic] critics would be far more concerned about these things than a fringee living in a small Pennsylvania town. I got some advice for some of you, don't worry about Bob, if He's wrong about geo, the Jews, the state of the Church, and other things, He'll fade away in a few years without any smear campaign that some are directing at him. If He's right, no amount of smears or ridicule is going to make him fade away. Heck, the free publicity Armstrong, Shea, Palm, and others are giving him are insuring that his ideas will become more well known with each passing day! So, Dave, Dave, Mark, and others, keep up the good work of keeping Bob in the spotlight, go after those mean anti-Catholic Prots who outrage you, because they ignore you, make every little disagreement with someone in blogland into a petty feud, ignore the bigger issues, (like the priest scandal, the liberal theology) that are destroying the faith of millions of Catholics. I'm sure your reward will be great in heaven because of all the camel swallowing and gnat straining yo'll [sic] have to do before this is all over! (3 September 2011)
To respond briefly to some of the particulars in this sustained nonsense:
1) I pay "attention" to Sungenis because I think he commits several serious errors, and the business of the apologist is to note and refute such (see many examples and critiques on my "Radical Catholic Reactionaries page: second section from the end). In other words, I am simply doing my job. I have nothing personal against Bob. We have written cordial letters back and forth on several occasions. We simply have some honest, serious disagreements.
2) It is almost certainly the case that Sungenis receives more exposure than I do: having been on TV, radio; having held several conferences, etc. He gets plenty of hits on his websites. Almost anyone who reads about his errors on my pages already knows who he is; thus I am not providing any "free publicity" to him to any significant extent. People know of him; they may not know of his serious errors that I have the unfortunate duty, as an apologist, to highlight and object to.
3) For Dalton, apparently apologetics is all (or merely) about personality disputes and "petty feud[s]", jealous wrangling. In fact, it is about the seeking and defending of truth as any individual sincerely deems that to be, in conjunction with a total obedience to the One True Church.
4) Speaking for myself (I don't speak for my friends David Palm or Mark Shea), far from "ignoring" either the priest sexual scandal or liberal theology, I have several posts and lots of links about the sex scandal, and an entire web page about theological liberalism and also half of one of my books devoted to it. Mark Shea at least writes quite a bit about Voris (as a search on his blog reveals); whereas I only have done so once.
One "Wes" made a very excellent point in the same thread where Dalton commented about Robert Sungenis:
Considering that the LA Times, Chicago Trib and other publications are basically using Sungenis and his group to make the Church look ignorant and paranoid, I can completely understand why people like Pat Archbold and the others you mentioned are out there making it clear that most all Catholics don't give these ideas the time of day. There's a reason these big publications are giving this group national attention and it's not because they find their theories credible or fascinating. They just want groups like this to be seen by the public as the face of the Catholic Church because the more the Church is discredited and marginalized as ignorant and paranoid, the less people will consider becoming Catholic and the more the Church's voice will be muted and neutralized in the public square. And the more the Church's voice is muted and neutralized in the public square, the easier it is for the relativists to push their immoral agenda.
In another comment a year ago in the midst of the usual tempest in a teapot "discussion" regarding geocentrism, Dalton opined that my "ego" was the reason for my writing against it:
John, I really appr[ec]iate your defense of geo[centrism]. It amazes me that Armstrong will allow you to post on his site when you fire salvo after salvo into his helio[centric] ship. He doesn't seem to realize that if he wanted to really hurt you, he would ignore you completely. Instead his ego drives him to attack geo and it's defenders, even though, as Rick points out, he and his buddies are losing the debate. (12-27-10)
Again, on his own site (on 8-31-11), Dalton was insistent that my one little ol' post about Voris (out of 2522) is proof positive of "jealousy" and some sort of frenzied agenda:
The one thing, however, that saddens me to no end is the in-fighting of Catholic apologetic bloggers against Mr. Voris. It is almost a jealousy and as long as it exists, the great restoration to which Michael Voris refers cannot occur. This is the same problem that the Church of Corinth had so long ago when followers of Apollos would fight against followers of Cephas or Paul, or vice versa. It's wrong. We do not follow Michael Voris or Dave Armstrong or Steve Ray or Mark Shea. But when we are divided like this, we hurt the Body of Christ . . . .
Also, Mike Voris has some powerful enemies in the blogging community. The two best know[n] are Dave Armstrong and Mark Shea. Both of these men have a [sic] overwhelming hatred for Voris, especially Mark Shea. . . . Dave Armstrong has been upset with Mike since Mike suggested that Amazing Grace, being a Protestant song, doesn't reflect Catholic theology. But why do they really lash out at him?
I think it boils down to these reasons. 1. Jealousy. Armstrong and Shea have been apologists for years. They have been praised by the blogging community (and others) as the best. Now comes Michael Voris and He's getting the praises and hosannas they have been used to getting. Instead of asking themselves, what's He doing that's attracting an audience, they're smearing him with some of the words I've already mentioned. Why? They're afraid of losing their audience to someone who has a winning, winsome, personality, as opposed to their snarky ones. Both Armstrong & Shea have become increasingly meanspirited, bitter, controlling and isolated from many in their audience over the last few years. . . . it's no wonder why many Catholics are attracted to Voris and repelled by the likes of Shea & Armstrong. 2. Both Shea & Armstrong are probably being used by certain powerful members of the clergy and the laity to bring down Mike Voris.
Conspiracies abound! I supposedly have an "overwhelming hatred for Voris" because I spent all of an hour (two, max) writing one post about one opinion of his. Such absurdities are their own refutations.
Dalton (barely able to spell) savagely attacked Blessed Pope John Paul II on my blog, too:
John Paul the Great? The man aided and abbedded [sic] in the cover-up of queer priests by doing absolutely nothing to stop the scandal. The man also encouraged false ecumenicalism [sic] with nonsence [sic] like Assai [sic]. The rush to declare this extremely flawed individual a saint shows the extent of the spiritual and moral vacousness [sic] of the Church's clergy and laity. (4-23-11)
Dalton responded to this post as follows (with more of his ubiquitous quack psychoanalysis):
I must say, you must be very uptight and hyper-sensitive to lash out at someone who is a very minor player in the blogosphere. . . . I don't try to reason with people like you who are emotionally bent out of shape.

Item #601663
The Sleep Science Black Diamond Memory Foam Mattress layers proprietary bamboo charcoal visco memory foam and supportive latex. The Sleep Science black diamond visco memory foam is the latest advancement in the Sleep Science memory foam line.
Black diamond visco memory foam was developed after researching the 1000 year old practice of utilizing bamboo charcoal fibers for its unique properties. Sleep Science blends bamboo charcoal fibers into its proprietary visco memory foam to create the black diamond visco memory foam. Bamboo charcoal fibers neutralize moisture in localized areas; eliminates odors and increases the antibacterial properties of the foam.
The top layer of this mattress consists of 5lb density, black diamond visco memory foam. It is the perfect top layer to absorb moisture and dissipate odor. The second layer is made of Sleep Science 5lb density premium visco memory foam to provide an added layer of comfort. The latex layer provides exceptional support for the visco memory foam. The mattress features the Sleep Science patented Wedge, edge to edge support system. The Wedge is an angled piece of firm polyurethane foam that runs along the outside edge of the mattress. It provides a stable sitting edge, 20% more sleeping surface than the competition and extends the life of the mattress by preventing the foam from spreading after prolonged use. The base features the Sleep Science air channel base which is made of high resilient polyurethane foam, that is scored horizontally and vertically in 1 inch grooves to promote air circulation in the center of the mattress, creating a temperature neutral environment.
- Bed frame is not included

Thinking about playing this game? Don't bother. As many posts before me have pointed out, it's P2W. Want some other reasons behind why you shouldn't waste two hours of your life waiting for this to download?
The customer service rating this game deserves is an F at best, their replies to support tickets are copy-pasta based and impersonal, their staff ban people for reasons like "Average insults towards players.." (the hell is an average insult) with time limits of their chosing and are held to no standard punishment system. And there's extremely evidence towards the fact that the staff are given preferential treatment, case in point I create an account to try this game so I can write a review on it. Jumped in with my brother who failed to give me direction on how to join his "Tank Company (clan)" and so I called him a retard as any brother would.
According to the TOS, you are to receive a warning first, then a suspension, then a more severe account ban, then deletion. I was immediately and w/o warning banned for 24 hours by some staff with a ridiculous name. And then today while casually talking about how strict the staff were, I was once more banned for bad mouthing staff with the aforementioned reason, "Average insults towards Mod/GM/Dev/Admin" by a staffer who went by the name "Sir_Explosion", yea, real professional. Isn't a GM/Admin the same thing? And what kind of generic excuse is that? Who even words it like that?!
So, according to their OWN TOS that they quoted at me, their staff violated their TOS on two accounts but were not held liable.
Another reason not to play is the matchmaking system. Yes, it does put you relatively fairly against other tanks, but in that same battle can be a tank 2 or three tiers higher than yours..which essentially means you're screwed. Oh and most people with a strong but fast tank will just ram you rather than attempt to fight you which somehow based on their law of phsics causes your tank to explode...
The third reason is of course the p2w, yes, you can grindfest your way to the top, have fun playing for the next 6 months doing so though. Paying not only buys you specialty tanks that are much more powerful than anything on the field, it will also buy you specialty ammo that is also much more powerful than normal ammo. So, essentially with the right amount of money you can become practically godlike.
All in all this game gets a 1/5
Graphics: 3.5/5
Gameplay: 2/5
Community: 1/5 (No Teamwork)
Staff: 0/5 (No professionalism, generic replies to support tickets(
Overall: 1/5 (P2W games don't deserve anything better)

When it comes to bans there are always 2 sides to a story. Since yours is the only one presented here I would have to take it with a grain of salt and say no comment.
What does interest me is how I keep hearing P2W concerning this game. Yet strangely it seems to have a fairly loyal following. I don't understand the rational of giving power items to paying players. My guess is that this option only becomes available later in the game. At which point it is almost not pay to win but more of a pay to play situation. In other words if you aren't shelling (pun intended) out for the ammo, you might as well not play.
Anyway games and payment options are always a personal choice. Don't blame the game, it is you that does not like it.

Sounds like you have had a bad experience and as a result your review is perhaps not as objective as it could be.
I have to agree that there are P2W elements, but in all honesty it is most fun when you play it casually in teir 1 and 2 imo, so I am not really affected by any issues in that regard.

1. I have received multiple chat bans over 2 1/2 years of play on the NA server - for trivial banter and taunting of the other team.
2. I have received ZERO chat bans over that same period on the EU server. Its become very evident (and you see this in forums as well) that the EU server is much more wide open for good natured fun, critical commentary on parts of the game which are broken etc. The NA moderators, for what ever reason, have delusions of godhood and are more prone to being on power trips. Thats the only thing I can chalk this down to. And so is there any wonder the average evening on EU server may see 60,000 players online as compared to only 20,000 on the NA server.
3. You say you don't understand or perhaps buy into the P2W argument and that the game seems to have a loyal following. This is due to Clan Wars. It is a fact that Clan Wars only allows players who have specific tanks in the garage (what I mean by this is that clans that want to compete restrict what tanks they want a player to bring as its well known some tanks are suck versus others in same tier). Clan Wars requires high tier tanks which, in Pub play, are credit losers even in a win. So - to support these tanks the player MUST have premium account, premium tanks, premium consumables, and gold ammo (the later is a must for Clan War events). Aside from gold ammo, which recently became available for silver, these items all cost real $. Also - as we pointed out - if you want to go from vanilla tank with a 50% crew to elited tank with a 100% crew you either grind (takes a hell of a long time, especially when you add perks atop this) or you can fast track this with real $ to unlock all ugrades and start with a 100% crew.
P2W - you will have better success, better win rate, better stats, more earnings, ability to finance your high tier tanks etc. when you spend real $ versus the free player.
And now a word on customer service - this is a Russian company. The game is tuned for the Russian market and the RU server. So there is a natural bias for some armor types/nations and a bias against others. The Russian company calling the shots does not give a tinker's damn for the feedback or concerns of the NA market as we are the smallest of the 3 main servers (the fairly new SEA server for Oceana is smaller but is too new to lump into this). The needs/desires of the RU players comes first followed by EU. Don't expect customer service from these people - its not their forte and unless you are on the RU server you are not a priority.

I've played for about a year. I subbed for the first 8 months and I didn't regret it. As far as money is concerned I bought a farm tank that prints money so I no longer sub and do fine. In clan wars you will need the tanks your clan wants thats kinda obvious. If you wanna lvl faster you can sub but honestly once you grind the lines you want I don't know why you would have to sub. Clan batles go like this we need x heavies so I grined out a couple heavies which I tend to get called up often. Then the clan says we need x meds so I grinded a few of the med lines. Amongst those 5 tanks if I want in the scrim I will be used for one of those tanks. I would say total if you want to get in clan wars often makes meds and heavies your focus and avoid the german lines outside maybe the maus.
Gold rounds can be purchased for in game moeny and now that i have played so long I generally have a couple million in the bank to buy gold rounds. As far as gold consumables I've never used them and never felt like I couldn't compete in fact the guys in my clan that use them don't use them often and only use the in clan wars so meh. I actually have a pile of the gold consumables in my hanger from their various give aways but still have never used any of them.
Getting matched up against someone that is higher than you, well after the changes to mm the highets someone will be is 2 lvls above you unless you are a scout or a piece of arty. I've actually solo'd guys a lvl or 2 above me when they make mistakes so again not that big of a deal now. In the past this was by far the worst thing about the game, the mm was awful but they have made strides here.

If you are replying to me I find that chat bans are usually well deserved. And they generally come with several prior warnings. If you got chat blocked it was your own fault bud. Sorry. As for EU discrepancy, thats possible, but irrelevant. It is the moderators choice, acoording to the rules, so don't piss em off even if you think you are right. Because you know what? They are god when it comes to bans.
As for the Pay to win thing I was just stating that this seems to be an obvious case of pay to win. Except I think they designed this as more of a pay to play function. Its like saying we will give you the lower levels to play free and all will be even. But if you want to play with the big boys it will cost you. Just a different way of saying, this area of the game is offlimits to freeloaders.
Thats just the way I see it. But you could call it pay to win too, I have no objection with that at all.

I think since the physics that the game is doomed but that is just me.Pay to win i dont see that.for the reason anything then premium tanks is reachable without money and even my t34 was for nada as wg would say.mm is fine when it comes to real tanks you can not damage a tier 2 higher tank then its not the fault of your tank but the guy that aims ofcourse.L2S weak points.the only flaw that mm still has is that there can be still 4-5-6 arty in each team and that sucks for real any wot player can tell storys about it.and they dont only do nothing against it for the reason there are so many pussy arty players that can mostly blame their team if something goes wrong . if they change the mm that you can have max 2 artys per team these pussys have a bigtime que and they will piss of many of them so it stays like it is.and the dmg and splash dmg of the high tier artys is only embarrasing.I only play in randome battles up to tier 6 rest ist complete useless for the reason you have in high tier battles often the same tactics that you see in tier 1 battles only the consequences are bigger and hurt alot.

Yes bono - i am replying to you. You made it clear you did not believe the OP so I gave you another data point - which you immediately conclude is my fault and on me despite evidence to the contrary (i.e. EU server has never banned me for the exact same things).
I therefore conclude you have an agenda, don't care to hear counter points, and that further discussion on this point is worthless. Well played sir.

Your post lost all credibility with this paragraph. Premium tanks are no better than any other tank, all they do is earn more credits per match and allow you to buy your way into the higher tiers (which doesn't help the buyer much if they don't know what they're doing, it just hurts the team).
You could make the arguement for P2W concerning the gold ammo, but honestly it's a non-factor. Especially when you consider that you can purchase the gold ammo for in-game credits, not that there is any real reason to.
The game has it's faults, but P2W isn't one of them. The grind is a long one no matter if your premium or not, but for some people that's a good thing. Not everyone is in a hurry to reach the high tiers and some enjoy having a game that gives them months and months of progression.
If premium tanks were no better than regular tanks, why would they be referred to as 'premium' tanks? I think you should lookup the definition of the word premium, I don't believe you're using it correctly.
Oh and, I don't know what game YOU'RE looking at, but if you take a look at a Tier EIGHT tank PREMIUM it has the same damage as a Tier TEN tank regular, not to forget the fact that if you have a premium tank you undoubtedly have premium ammo, so you can bump that damage up what, 20%? If not more...
Nice try though.

This is in reply to <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.mmorpg.com/profile.cfm/username/9reesracer9" href="http://www.mmorpg.com/profile.cfm/username/9reesracer9" title="View information about 9reesracer9" suhlink"="">9reesracer9 apparently quoting doesn't work or it hates me.
I don't feel I'll stoop to your level and quote everything out in a bright vibrant color to draw attention as you did..but here's my replies to your replies to his replies.
2. - You obviously don't watch chat, I can see bans every hour. And for variously different times depending on the mod. One guy said stupid, banned for three days. Another guy two days later said the same thing, banned for 24 hours.
3. The game is listed as free-to-play, why should premium players get an upperhand? Yes, they should get SOMETHING for contributing but a vastly different more powerful tank than anything else on the field? I think not.
As for your customer service review, that's a large review on such small interactions. It's sad you need help changing your password though.
"Life is not judged by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
"It's hard to take any MMO seriously if they can't even give it a somewhat unique name. You can write off most every "World of " game as just a WoW knockoff. "
I can't believe I missed that in my review, but this is definitely NOT AN MMO. Yes, it does have approximately 10,000+ players and yes they're all technically on the same server but the max you'll play with at any given time is 15 and the map rotation is what, 20 maps or less?
So after an hour of play you'll probably have played all 20 or so maps twice and even fought the same people.

most standard tanks are better then prem tanks.
playing the game its best to just turn off/minimize the lobby chat. i got chat muted for 8hrs for joking around with some other players by simply saying Spam. their moderation is pretty insane on the NA servers i find, but other then that game is ok.

The game isn't a P2W game. I have played this game on and off for a long time and only pay for some prem time for the added xp boost and bigger grouping. I have absolutely no problem winning in this game. It's more about strategy and choosing the right ammo type than actual tank strength. I have seen light tanks completely obliterate heavy tanks and such. If you can't drive and plan attacks very well in the game you won't be very successful. I really enjoyed this game.

Its not that I don't believe its just that how are we to know that story is truth? Only you and the guy who banned you know that. Which is why it is really quite childish to come on a forum and whine about a ban when all we are hearing is your side of the story.

Elite tanks jsut give you a way to get a good taste of what you can do at the different tier lvls and they allow you to make a bit more cash per game, but you will be at a disadvantage.
I play most days and really enojy the game.. i have also got quite a few of my clan mates playing as well now and we are almost ready to start the clan wars stuff..

Morning Report: Tyron Woodley calls Joe Rogan's UFC 171 commentary 'horrendous,' feels he's being punished for being in shape
Justified or not, Woodley says critiques of his endurance are being unfairly attributed to his muscular physique.
"It's almost like they're punishing you for training hard," Woodley told MMA Mental. "They're punishing you for being physically fit. I think Joe Rogan is horrendous for his commentary that he did for that fight. Everything was, 'Oh, Tyron threw a hard bomb but Carlos took it. He's got such a great chin. Oh, Tyron has a takedown. Look at Carlos. He's doing the mission impossible guard [mission control].' Everything that I did he was leaning it towards the credit of Carlos Condit.
"I think sometimes when you watch a fight and you listen to the commentary you can kind of veer the spectators, and hopefully not the UFC, in directions it shouldn't be going."
While Rogan was overtly complimentary of Woodley during the opening moments of the bout, his first mention of Woodley's pace came just two minutes into Round 1 by comparing Woodley to a muscle car, saying, "It's fun to hit that gas, but you're not going to make it to Vegas." Rogan reinforced that notion a minute later, saying, "Woodley's slowing down already." Rogan's counterpart, Mike Goldberg, opened Round 2 saying, "Let's keep an eye on the cardio of Tyron Woodley and the technique of Carlos Condit." Rogan replied, "You can see his stomach moving. He's taking some deep breaths. It's certainly not the Tyron Woodley that came out in the first round, fresh."
Rogan's commentary flows seamlessly with how he seemed to characterize Woodley during his UFC 171 preview leading up to the event. "So many things make [Woodley] dangerous," said Rogan. "His athleticism. His Power. His ridiculous speed. His excellent wrestling."
"I was not wincing," says Woodley. "I was not in any harm or any danger at any point in the fight. My cardio felt great and it was even in my gameplan to increase the level in the third round. I wasn't even at full speed. People say, 'He started off hard! He started off in a full sprint!' I didn't even start off in a full sprint. If they think that's a full sprint for me, then I'm happy with it because they haven't seen a full sprint yet."
I'm with sniggles, I'd dont have a problem with Rogan's opinion of fighters because it doesn't effect my own interpretation of what I'm viewing. I like contrasting his commentary with my own assessment but I'm not expecting to agree with him what I've always expected was to hear his opinion. He's a knowledgeable commentator who is entitled to his opinion and I thought commentators were supposed to share their opinions. As an added bonus Joe is able to describe the action inside the Octagon to novice viewers which I always felt was supposed to be a shared responsibility between the play-by-play guy and the color commentator. Goldie's more of an on-screen extension of the production team. Meanwhile, Rogan's been acting in dual capacity for a long time, he's a dual persona of Bill Walton (color commentator)and Steve "snapper" Jones (play-by-play) while Goldberg is his Bob Costas as opposed to his Marv Albert. I tried really hard not to make a wrasslin analogy so I hope you guys watched the NBA on NBC in the 90s like I did.
Jessie Ventura & Gorilla Monsoon/Tony Schiavone?
you forgot to give a shout out to Bobby "the brain" Heenan, its sacrilege to mention Monsoon without the brain. Mike Goldberg is like the long forgotten Todd Pettengill, Schiavone was WCW you can't mix'em but I'll still rep ya
But for biased commentators... I think that Jessie has been the best of 'em... (speaking of Rogan)
Sorry... rasslin' is/was a big reason why I got into MMA...

First-time buyers looking to housing schemes to get a foot onto property ladder

Almost half of first time buyers are considering turning to shared equity and shared ownership schemes to
enable them to buy their first home, according to new research from
Lloyds TSB. Of these, one in four said affordable housing schemes
were their only option for getting onto the property ladder and they
would not be able to buy a home otherwise.
One in four said their primary reason for considering such a scheme was that it makes or would make their monthly mortgage repayments more affordable while a further quarter said it allowed or would allow them to buy in an area which would otherwise have been unaffordable.
The economic downturn has also had an impact on how people view affordable housing schemes, with one in six of first time buyers saying they would not have considered the schemes previously, but have changed their mind due to the economic conditions.
Just over 80 % of first-time buyers claim to have a basic or good understanding of shared ownership schemes, although this is less for shared equity schemes (64%). In England, those living in the North have the best understanding of shared equity schemes (70%), while those in the East are least informed (53%).
However, despite relatively good levels of understanding, four in 10 first-time buyers are unaware of the affordable housing schemes available to them in their local area. Those living in the East are the most aware in England of the availability of local schemes, with only 30% unaware.
Stephen Noakes, Director of Mortgages, at Lloyds TSB, said: "Affordable housing schemes play a key part in helping first-time buyers onto the property ladder, and our research shows that almost half of them would now consider signing up to buy their first home. However, many more may be unaware of how these schemes can help them onto the property ladder, or indeed the availability of them in their local area."
