What is "Sandbox"?

The Sandbox is a separate test server where developers and players will work on a new balance of World of Tanks vehicles. But this does not mean at all that these changes will soon appear on the main game servers.

Testing in the Sandbox will begin this summer, we can’t reveal details yet, but you will definitely be able to familiarize yourself with the changes for Tier X vehicles at the very beginning of testing.

How to get into the "Sandbox"?

To get started, submit your application by clicking the button below. You will be redirected to a special page where you can complete the application in a couple of steps.

What are the selection criteria?

Not everyone will get access to the test server. The criteria for selecting participants depend on the tasks of a particular stage of testing, but the goal remains the same - to invite players who are not indifferent to the fate of their favorite game and are interested in close cooperation.

How do I know if my application has been approved?

Tankers with access to test server, learn about it from several sources:

a letter to the mailbox associated with the account;
notification in the game client.

We will need time to process applications and determine the number of invited test participants. It is planned that the first wave of invitations will take place in mid-June.

Access to the test server can be terminated or limited at any time for non-compliance with the provisions of the User Agreement, and other rules of Wargaming. Restrictions for actions performed while playing on the test server can be transferred to the player's main account.

We are waiting for your applications. Together we will make the game better!

Sandbox games – Sandbox is a genre of some or programs, where the main features are the complete or partial configuration of objects, the creation of lands, the creation of . In specialized programs, you can freely configure all objects and textures on the map.

In games with sandbox mode ( mode) the player can disable or ignore game objectives and tasks. This term is used to describe the mode or option of those games whose levels are unlimited in time, but at the same time have a goal, the term "sandbox game" is not applicable to those games that are unlimited in time and have no goals

The sandbox mode is prominently seen in the game. This and other games with virtual environment that the player can explore are known as open world (open world games). To sandbox games where the player can ignore game objectives and explore virtual world, include Factorio and Terraria. Also an integral part of the sandbox is generating new card at start new game and complete freedom of action.

For more than a decade, there has been such a thing as sandbox games in the genre. Sandbox is where players have great opportunities to create their own in-game content, houses, things, etc. In fact, online projects with such a prefix mean games with almost complete freedom of action.

Today on the forums you can often see how people put the prefix "Sandbox" on projects such as World of Warcraft. However, these games lack the ability to create content from scratch or somehow change the world around them. Each piece in these is thought out by the authors to the smallest detail, and users can interact with objects in a strictly established order.

In real Sandbox games, developers create the universe, saturate it basic items and give players tools to change the world around them (roughly speaking, they put a gamer in a sandbox and give him a bucket and a spade in his hands). After that, the authors can only say: "do what you want, and I'll look after you."

It's time for everyone to play "Sea of IO": the new "survival" in the world online games IO "Mopio" (Mope.IO) aka "Mop IO" - blew up the Internet! Climb the food chain, pumping from a tiny mouse to an all-powerful dragon, learn the skills of each animal and enjoy the game!

If you love IO games, Mopio is guaranteed to please you: you can play in full screen - without IO lags (freezes), unnecessary advertising and registration. Just enter your nickname and start, and if you want to write something in the game chat, press "ENTER" and enter a message for all players.

How to play

What should be done in the game "Mop.io"? Grow and evolve from one animal to another, gradually gain power and compete with the animals of other players. Among them are:

dangerous, marked with a red stroke - they can eat you;
neutral, with a dark green outline;
nutritious - those that you can eat, with a blue outline.

How to quickly gain weight

The status in the game "Mop IO" depends on the indicator "XP" (experience), it displays how much prey and food your beast consumed. As soon as you fill the leveling bar at the bottom of the screen (it is marked in yellow) - upgrade to a new look

Experience can be gained:

At the expense of red balls - each animal of the "IO Sea" starts to play from them.
Biting the tail of a predator - this allows you to fight off enemies and quickly get 40 XP - 2% of the experience of the bitten enemy. If the predator's tail is hit, it glows with a light green outline.
By eating another animal lower down the food chain.
Feeding on healing stones (pink octagons) - touching them heals, restores water levels and gives some experience.

hide near the lake that generates red boosters and eat up until you gain weight;
look for carrots, algae, bushes and mushrooms - they saturate much faster;
you can hide in one of the holes next to the reservoir (in order to replenish the water supply in time) and hunt from there.

Mope io cheats

Fans of intensive games at the maximum often have a question - is it possible to play Mop.io with cheats on fast pumping characters.

In the Sea of IO Sandbox, each player could play 10,000,000 mass at once, which added to the hassle and deprived the game of excitement. It’s not enough to become a black dragon in 1 second, you need to understand the survival strategy so as not to be eaten immediately by the same inflated “bosses”.

The choice of species was consistent with the principle of obtaining a free skin, and the purity of the dough gameplay turned out to be completely broken. Today it is impossible to play in the Sea of IO Sandbox, but there is a way to quickly “farm” experience due to the abilities of each game look animals.
