30.11.2012Dev Diary Highlight: PvP Information!
One of the most hotly anticipated updates to The Settlers Online is PvP! In our Dev Diary posted last week, we were happy to share some more information, hot off the presses.
A major concern for some players was the safety of their island, and it’s been announced that it will not be possible to attack the home islands of other players in PvP. That means that there will be separate islands for PvP! New types of islands will be added to the game for players to conquer and defend.
