Hi all. I'm Mal_Kor. I used to write it "Malchore" but too many people mispronounced the name so I spelled it as it should be pronounced.

Anyways, hello. My question is...is a premium account worth it? I spent $15 to get 3000 deblooms, which I don't consider a lot of money for a new game that has potential for me to get into. Most of my time I play The Division, but I started playing  WoWS because "Tech Deals" on Youtube plays it a lot in his videos so I thought I'd check it out. It looked kinda fun.

Welcome to WoWS

Premium times does help with extra credits and XP from the game play. Add a low tier premium ships such as the Konig Albert or the Tachibana as great starter ships for training helps too.  Enjoy the game and see you on the seas.

Welcome aboard!

Yes premium time is worth it (in my opinion) along with a good premium ship. It helps build up you credit base, the higher the tier the higher the cost of the ships.

Is it worth it or not is really something you are going to have to answer for yourself.

What it does is it gives a 50% increase to XP and Credits earned. (the extra credits are very helpful at the top tiers. Can be the difference between loosing and making money.

I would suggest playing some more before you decide if you want to drop real money on the game or not.

Be forewarned though, once you buy, and get used to playing on Premium Time, you're probably are not going to want to play without it.

"Worth it" is very relative. I have a lot of premium time cause I bought in bulk and got a great deal, but I didn't run premium for a long time. I found buying a premium ship was a more worthwhile use of money as opposed to premium time. 

 

Any who, welcome to the game and to the forum.

Premium time is a finite resource. It's a very good resource and I strongly recommend premium account for high tier play, but you're not at high tiers yet. Instead, consider a premium ship, a permanent investment.

I advise buying it in bulk versus weekend sprees.  Thanksgiving is usually when the 365 one happens, for a good discount.

Welcome! It is shocking how few people can handle a hard 'ch'. Anyways, I'd play with the standard account for a while, then get a day or two of premium. Dip your toe in the waters of premium time before you go all in.

 

BTW there are a few good ways of getting premium time in game. Namely leveling up and the Science of Victory campaign. Even if you decide it's not worth money you can still get your hands on some.

Hello and welcome. If you are still on the lower tier ships just run without the premium time. Grab premium time as you get to mid to high tier ships as this really helps a lot. Have fun out there.

I won 90 days of premium time in a Christmas event container I purchased for a few bucks.  My gains in silver, Free XP and ship XP over that period really impressed upon me how premium time can ease some of the grind time.  However, I don't like the idea of premium time wasting away when I am not playing for days at a time.  So, if I have a day off and am going to play quite a bit, I'll buy a day of premium time for doubloons.  It may be more expensive that way, but I am only using it when I can actually play.

Welcome aboard mate!  Premium time is a good idea, especially if you like the game and are going to keep playing.  

 

My advice, watch popular youtubers (NoZoupForYou, iChase, Notser, theMightyJingles and flamu are just a few). 

 

Dont hesitate to ask questions.  The forum here is full of super bright people that have a ton of excellent and valuable advice.  

 

Good luck, and fair seas!
