28.10.2025Login via Facebook Deactivated
Dear Settlers,
As logging into the game currently still goes through Ubisoft Connect (Uplay), it is not possible for us, as an external partner, to offer the option to log in via Facebook on Ubisoft Connect in order to access The Settlers Online. The reason is that a different authentication mechanism is now required for the login process.
We are currently investigating whether it will be possible to reactivate the Facebook login at a later point in time. However, this review will take some time.
If you have previously logged in using Facebook, you can follow these steps to be able to log in to the game:
- Log in to your Ubisoft account directly via Ubisoft Connect using Facebook.
- In your account information, you will find the email address that is linked to your Ubisoft account.
- If you still have access to this email address, you can request a new password via the menu Security → Password → Change. An email will then be sent to this address. Follow the instructions.
- Once you have set a new password, you should then be able to log in to The Settlers Online using your email address and this password, without Facebook.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

24.10.2025Migration: Germany (done)
Dear Settlers,
The migration of the following game worlds will take place soon: Germany.
While they are being migrated, these game worlds and their website will be temporarily unavailable. Afterwards, the forum will remain deactivated for a short time.
This is the current plan, although it may be subject to short-term changes due to various dependencies!
|
Please note that we will have to disable the PvP ranking and voucher redemption for all players throughout the entire migration phase.
To avoid any impact on the Halloween event, we will pause the migration for the duration of the event after the transfer of the German game worlds has been completed.
We are aware of the issue that messages from players whose accounts were deleted during the migration have disappeared on migrated game worlds. This includes trade messages from those players. We are already investigating this together with Ubisoft and are looking for a solution.

16.10.2025Start of Halloween Event
Dear Settlers,
We would like to give you a short update on the start of the Halloween Event.
As you know, we started migrating the live game worlds to CipSoft this week. These server transfers are complex, require careful coordination, and the progress depends on several factors. Therefore, we cannot provide you with a reliable schedule for the entire migration period, but we will keep you informed about each of the next migrations as they approach.
It is also possible that we may not be able to complete all server transfers as originally planned before the Halloween Event.
Our current plan is to start the Halloween event on either October 27, 28, or 29. The exact date and time will be announced as soon as they have been decided.
We want to make sure that you can enjoy the Halloween event without any disruptions caused by the migration. If we cannot complete the transfer of all servers in time, we will pause the migration for the duration of the event.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!
