Since the announcement and the transfer from Flash to Unity, we have received an overwhelming number of comments, feedback, and reports.

We wanted to assure you that our team is committed to fixing the issues you’ve reported on various platforms, including but not limited to:

• Prestigious Friend Buffs disappearing too soon
• Non-working guild member certificates
• Non-granted building licenses
• Various locked zone issues
• Performance and lag issues

The latter point will be a long-term effort over the next couple of months as it is a step-by-step optimization process, with some first changes being rolled out with the next release. Please keep the feedback and reports coming.

Our relationship with the community is very important to us and as a little thank you to all of you, make sure you keep an eye on your in-game mailbox in the following days.

Besides fixing the issues and ensuring a stable game, we want to continue bringing events regularly to our player base. The next event planned is the “Christmas Event”, which will bring new quests, buildings and special surprises.

Dear Settlers,

Remember remember, the fifth of November!

In remembrance of Guy Fawkes and his foiled Gunpowder Plot, your Mayor has ordered a grand celebration of festive food along with spectacular fireworks.

Here are some gifts to help with this year's celebrations.
