Dear Players,

We experienced connection and network issues throughout the whole day. Our network team has finished their investigation and fixed the root cause. Things should go back to normal soon, but some of our servers still have residual hiccups that we are still dealing with at the moment.

Dear players,

Our Community Contest has come to an end. We received quite a few marvellous postcards and... a seashell can?! Our first winner, German player Holzfaeller, managed to impress everyone with a unique holiday souvenir! 

We will continue to reward the most stunning postcards we received with special items and 500 gems. Keep an eye on the forum thread! 

Congratulations!

Dear players,

Dear Settlers,

Classifying various adventures in The Settlers Online can become a difficult task. Our developers have thoroughly redesigned this feature for a better understanding, as a new UI has been implemented to match the new difficulty levels. 

Find out all the ins and outs about the adventure classification in our latest Dev Diary and read more about the new game version in our change log!

Happy settling!
