23.10.2017Game does not load properly (done)
Hello dear Settlers,
Since a few hours reports about the game not working are being made. First of all - we are sorry this has slipped our minds for so many hours. Captain Graham immediately yelled "All hands on deck" and sent all technicians to keelhaul (with their laptops, of course).
We check back asap after receiving news from the technicians.
Update: Please clear your browser cache & try again. The error has been fixed and the game should load properly now after clearing cache / CTRL+F5.
Update 2: If you still experience problems, please try another browser / incognito mode while we investigate if we can additionally do something on our end.

Dear settlers,
Our seventh winner, German player Schwafel, sent us a postcard from somewhere you might not expect: his home server of "Wildblumental" inside The Settlers Online!
Why do you need to travel to distant, exotic locations when you have one right at comforts of your very own home!? Check out Schwafel's postcard in our forums!
Happy settling!
