Well that notice it's a bit innacurate, the original post says:

During the testing period, the game attracted more than 70,000 players from around the globe. The average time beta testers spent in battles daily was 3.2 hours which equals 30 accomplished battles, with peak con-current users number exceeding 4,000 players. In all battles held, 150 million shells were fired destroying over 15 million vehicles.
