Dear Settlers,

Due to the missing removal phase of the Anniversary Event, many players were unable to claim their reward for reaching the second community goal. We have evaluated the options we have available to remedy this. Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply reactivate the removal phase.

We are now working on a solution to ensure that all players who were online during the event and have not yet claimed the reward for the second community goal will receive it retroactively.

This will require some development time, though, so it will not be ready this week. We cannot provide a concrete date yet, but we are doing what we can to deliver your well-deserved reward as soon as possible. As part of this, the event merchant will then also return.

We are sorry that this issue impacted the success of the event and we are grateful for your understanding.

Dear Settlers,

After the Anniversary Event ended at 10:00 CEST today, the removal phase did not start as expected, which means that no rewards can currently be obtained. This is unintended, and we are already looking into the issue.

Thank you for your patience!
