Dear Settlers,

Our TSO Test website will be entering extended maintenance as we further prepare for the Flash-based Client deployment.

This will be expected to last until the morning of Friday the 11th of December.

Thank you to all players who have helped test the new temporary Flash-based client, and left feedback. This helped our development tremendously!

Happy Settling!

Dear Settlers,

Our Test Server has just been updated to use our new downloadable client, which will act as an interim until our exciting Unity transition is complete!

Please note: this is not our "Step 2" from our previously posted "Future Timeline"; that will be met when we release this new downloadable client for our live instances.

We encourage you to head on over to our Test Server and try it out for yourself. If you get stuck, we've also put together a handy guide!

Happy Settling!
