Dear Settlers,

This afternoon, there were temporary login issues with Uplay. These were resolved by Ubisoft around 17:00 CEST. If you are redirected to the Ubisoft website after login, you may have to clear your browser history.

Have fun testing!

Dear Settlers,

on Wednesday, July 23, a new game version will be deployed. During the implementation of the update, the game will be unavailable.

• Day: Wednesday, July 23
• Game Worlds: All game worlds 
• Start: ~ 08:00 CEST
• End: ~ 14:00 16:00 CEST
• Adventures & Premium: Times will be extended

After this update, the zone-wide buff "Bucket of Candy" will also affect the Efficient Platinum Smelter, and the buffs of the Ice Skating Lake will also affect the Jewel Crafter and the Prospector Workshop. An issue will be fixed that prevented the Balanced Geologist from refilling iron and copper deposits. Moreover, the Summer Event will be cleaned up.

Dear Settlers,

Many of you have been wondering how the migration of The Settlers Online is progressing. While preparations are well underway, most of the work until now has taken place behind the scenes. Therefore, we would like to give you a brief overview of the current status. 

We understand that some of you would prefer details or hope for concrete news about the future development of the game. However, with a project of this scale and complexity, many things still require coordination, remain subject to change, or are of a confidential nature. There are numerous dependencies and links that are influenced by a wide range of factors, and their full scope is difficult to assess from outside. Reliability is important to us, so we focus our communication on relevant topics for which we can provide solid information.

The goal of the migration is to transfer all servers and game data to CipSoft's systems and to detach them from Ubisoft's infrastructure. For example, we will switch to a system with separate accounts for The Settlers Online in the future, replacing the current Ubisoft Connect accounts. Ubisoft will soon inform you by email about the terms under which your data may be handed over to CipSoft. If you do not want your data to be transferred, you will have 30 days to object. In that case, your game data will then be deleted.

Our technical team is currently busy preparing the migration of the servers and the game data. This includes, for example, setting up the infrastructure for The Settlers Online at CipSoft. They are also building an internal test system to be able to test the relocation thoroughly, so that the actual migration can run as smoothly as possible.

Our overall aim is to minimise game disruptions caused by the maintenance work required for the migration. Hence, the first possible time window for the server transfers is the period after the Anniversary Event and before the start of the Halloween Event. However, since this depends on various factors, we currently cannot guarantee that the migration will actually take place during that window. We will let you know as soon as we are certain whether that timeframe is feasible.

We are already taking care of the community management. For now, we are using the existing structures to keep you informed and to stay in touch with you: the news section and forum on both the German and English websites. In the long term, we want to create a central and consistent place for game information, news, and communication that is easy to access for all of you and reliably available.

Our support team is already assisting you together with Ubisoft staff as far as possible at this stage. While we do not have direct access to the game servers and data yet, we are working with Ubisoft to improve the situation.

The part of The Settlers Online team that chose to join CipSoft is continuing its previous work on the game. At the same time, we have formed a team of experienced CipSoft members in Regensburg who are now getting familiar with the game code and design.

We hope this short overview gives you a bit of direction and helps to put the current stage of the migration in context. We would like to thank all of you again for your support, your patience and your understanding. We look forward to the future of The Settlers Online and our journey together.
