Dear Settlers,

One of the best things in life is music... all the more so during winter holiday season! Be part of the Christmas magic and join our "Guess the Christmas Song" contest - and if you worry about the prizes, we made sure your efforts will be rightly rewarded!  

Before taking part in our event, make sure you visited enough Christmas markets and shops to get familiar once again with famous winter holiday tunes! Read more about the prizes and further details in our forums.

Let the game begin!

Dear Settlers,

The Guild Market vote has been finally implemented into the game! While our developers have tested it in the background on the live servers over the last few weeks, it is now time to activate the new UI and the very first vote.

Learn how to vote, where the new interface is located in the game and more in our latest Dev Diary. The feature will be activated in December.

Happy settling!
