I was invited to a clan and have been playing WoWp quite actively for the past 2 years. With my progressing glaucoma & retinal eye detachment surgery, I need to cut back on the eye strain and switch over to WoWs, which is a tad slower pace, except when I play destroyers (which are even quicker than our heavy fighters).
Anyway, there seems to be lot more gimmicks, screen promotions, special events (even Transformers), sales (they call them containers vs. crates...so so many to choose from), active players, ship classes in WoWs. They even gave me 6 experimental subs to fool around with, 2 even at Tier 10.
In WoWs, they show the worldwide active players, on middays, it's around 7,000 players, not too shabby compared to WoWp. WoT of course has more.
I still log in to WoWp to fly a few sorties a week, but I do hope WG will find a way to attract more players in WoWp. I teach karate, and the bread & butter are the new comers.
See you all around.
