Dear settlers,

Our seventh winner, German player Schwafel, sent us a postcard from somewhere you might not expect: his home server of "Wildblumental" inside The Settlers Online!

Why do you need to travel to distant, exotic locations when you have one right at comforts of your very own home!? Check out Schwafel's postcard in our forums! 

Happy settling!

Dear settlers,

Our sixth winner, German player jave22 sent us a postcard of a special encounter with one of our favourite TSO characters, all the way in Mallorca!

I wonder what they discussed at this stone table - future expedition plans maybe? Check out jave22's postcard in our forums!

Howdy!

Our fifth winner, Polish player penelopa21 sent her postcard all the way from a big, sunny Australia, "where the sun shines bright and the sky is blue"!

We certainly wouldn't mind getting more sunlight here, in Germany! Check out penelopa21's postcard in our forums! 

Hooroo!

Dear players,

We're not even halfway through autumn, but our developers have already envisioned the first features of the Christmas Event 2017 - among those, a brand new specialist! 

Take part in our Sneak Peek mini-puzzle to find out who the new specialist is and test the first version of the Christmas event on our public test server!

Happy testing!
