Greetings Settlers,

The first phase of the anniversary event is over; the second phase starts now!

During the second phase, some servers will collaborate in order to achieve a common goal. More details on this will be revealed soon.

See you in-game,

Greetings Settlers,

As you may have noticed, the ranking of all game worlds that reached 100% during phase one changed from time to time. The ranking script does not reflect how fast a game world finished phase 1 or how many balloons were spent by these game worlds.

The final ranking and rewards for phase one are being calculated after the end of the phase one. The data will be analyzed and a final, correct ranking will be posted.

See you in-game,

Greetings Settlers,

After analyzing the results from the first day of the in-game birthday event, we've decided to lower the amount of balloons each game world needs to donate during the first phase in order to reach 100%!

During our calculations, ALL balloons were included - even the ones that were not yet donated to the server. As a result, some game worlds have already reached 100%!

See you in-game,
