Dear Romantcists!

What's nicer than falling in love?
After meeting in-game, our Polish players Olga_Okrutna and Shatan are now happily in love with a small Settler being due soon. Thank you for sharing this personal life changing love story with the global Community!

This is in fact the second love story shared with the Community after two players from the German instance exchanging their vows last year. All the best to you and to all lovers who also met in the game!

The Grinch and his evil friends were playing pranks on your island.
BB_Santa showed up to help and left some gifts in your in-game mails.

It might take some time until each player received her/his package.
