Dear Settlers,

For this season we made sure you have a Mary Christmas... available at the in-game merchant! Along with this new general, a new mysterious box is awaiting you!

So wrap yourself up in the blanket, grab a hot lemon tea and put on your reading glasses! It's time for a brand new Dev Diary: our yearly snow-filled Xmas event is returning to our islands!

Happy settling!

Dear Settlers,

The Guild Market vote has been finally implemented into the game! While our developers have tested it in the background on the live servers over the last few weeks, it is now time to activate the new UI and the very first vote.

Learn how to vote, where the new interface is located in the game and more in our latest Dev Diary. The feature will be activated in December.

Happy settling!

Happy Settling!

Dear Settlers,

The smell of turkey and pie wafts through the air, families and friends begin to gather, and the leaves have turned beautiful colors.

Happy Thanksgiving,
