Hi Settlers,

Level 50 players who finish adventures are currently rewarded with Star Coins instead of XP, but there are some quests that still grant XP to level 50 players. This has been a topic discussed by level 50 players for quite some time and your feedback has been heard.

In one of the upcoming game versions, quest XP will be converted to Star Coins immediately, as it is for adventures.

Hey Settlers,

You might remember the "Meet the BB" Trading Cards we released back in the beginning of the game (you can find them here) and our most recent versions of the Trading Cards. Recently, we've gotten some new CLs, so we will be releasing new Trading Cards this week.

Each day, we'll release a new Trading Card of one of our new CLs. Whoever is featured that day will also lead an AMA for a few hours. If you're not familiar with an AMA - it stands for "Ask Me Anything" and you can ask them anything, from personal to game-related. Remember to keep the questions within the Code of Conduct!

CL_Aurboth will be answering questions from 2:30 - 4:30 PM EDT. Five random people who ask the CLs questions during the AMA will be rewarded with 200 gems!
