Dear Settlers,

Remember remember, the fifth of November!

In remembrance of Guy Fawkes and his foiled Gunpowder Plot, your Mayor has ordered a grand celebration of festive food along with spectacular fireworks.

Here are some gifts to help with this year's celebrations.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!

Dear settlers,

German player Tigergo84, had to battle a great mythic dragon to send us our ninth winning postcard! The mighty dragon Justus from the Syrau Cave didn't want to give up their spoils easily but after some expert training, our Settler prevailed.

As Tigergo84 knows: if you want to go wandering into caves, you better be prepared for whatever's inside! Read the full battle-report in our forums!

Greetings, scaredy-cats!

You peek through the window and notice a group of tall kids dressed as ghosts heading towards you. Curiosity is urging you to open the door, though you'd rather avoid them.

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!
