Dear Settlers,

It's hard to believe that the European English version of The Settlers Online is now celebrating its third birthday!

It's been 3 years today since we went into Open Beta and we could not ask for a stronger, more dedicated or more passionate community!

Please accept these gifts as a small token of thanks thank you for your loyalty. We hope you continue to enjoy the game as we hit more milestones in the future.

Happy Settling!
