Wargaming.net has announced that the first closed beta phase for World of Tanks has ended. The second phase of the CBT is slated to begin tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1, 2010. In addition to those two announcements, Wargaming.net gave out a bunch of impressive stats about CBT1.

• 70,000 players took part at one time or another with 4,000 concurrent players at the highest peak
• Beta testers played an average of 3.2 hours per day
• 500,000 battles were fought
• 1.5 million shots were fired

“I would like to thank our beta-testers for their great work and all the invaluable feedback and data they helped us collect, “says Nick Katselapov, producer of World of Tanks.”We are going to use it to further polish and enhance the game. We had a number of features held in reserve during the first phase of the closed beta and we’ll be more than happy to introduce some of them as soon as the servers go live again”.
