Hello players,

tomorrow (Wednesday, April 3^rd) the Uplay maintenance will take place. It will start at 10:00 CEST and last approximately 30 minutes.

For the duration of the maintenance, it will not be possible to login in to Uplay accounts. Players already logged in will remain logged in, hence they will not be disconnected from the game. 

Please note that on April 3^rd the login  process for all Uplay accounts will be changed: instead of using your Uplay account name as a login, you will need to use the e-mail address that is assigned to it.

Happy settling,

Dear Settlers,

please join our load tests and get a chance to receive nice rewards on live servers.
The goal is quite simple: play as much as you can. If the login queue is crowded,
it’s even better, because this means that there is high activity.

In case the load is high enough, we will send some gifts to all active players in the
regular live game worlds. We need around 5.000 players.

Update 03/28, 14:50: We have over 5.000 players online right now, which are performing over 26.000 clicks/actions per minute.

Tests will take place on:

• Thursday, 28th of March 2013, 13:00 - 16:00 CET
  
• Friday, 05th of April 2013, 13:00 - 16:00 CET

Reward for 1st load test

The rewards will be sent next week. If you succeed in both tests, you can collect even more rewards for your regular game account.
