What happened to Tanki Online 2.0?

Does it even still exist?

It was scrapped in creation due to lag and other issues. It was replaced by Tanki X.

Out of curiosity, when was it scrapped? Thanks for your response!

Copy-pasted from wiki:

"Remember Tanki 2.0? Originally planned for August 2010, eventually cancelled in May 2012? For a while, it appeared that it looked likely to happen. The original release date was going to be June the 4th 2011, and when a 2.0 test server was released a month before that date, it looked positive. The only problem was, the test server was not what people had been hoping for. It lagged, being way over-crowded, incredibly. The garage consisted of only a few weapons – Smoky, Thunder, Firebird, and Railgun, if I remember rightly, and a similarly small amount of hulls – Viking was one, Wasp as well – I think there may have been one more. There were only two maps, Crash and Arena. The graphics were scintillating. Absolutely brilliant. Gameplay? Meh. When everyone's lagging, it's not worth the bother. The big change which v2.tankionline.com had, however, was the interface. Players had their own profiles, the battle lobby could be searched, the whole layout was absolutely different from what we know today. It was absolutely incredible to experience, even if playing in the server was a pain, not to mention impossible."

 

And for how the tanks looked like, here is a picture of a Smoky/Wasp with the v2.0 graphics:

It was replaced by Tanki X.

I guess it is now, but when it was canceled it was deemed that all the features in Tanki 2.0 will slowing be added to the existing Tanki Online we know today. 

 

Here is a random picture, but if you want more random concept art, check out this topic here.

Ahhh the good old Tanki 2.0 topics, nice to see one back. This is nostalgia. I remember seeing 2 or 3 of these a day in 2012.

 

The demo on Alternativa platform was amazing. I never knew Flash would be capable of rendering such graphics. My PC back then went into jet-engine mode though and ran the demo at 4FPS.
