Screenshot of the week winner, Nathan_Luo, explains "Thanks Halloween Event! Due to you, our Settlers Island Academy now consists of several village schools in a serene valley full of watermills and flower gardens near the honorable tribute statue to the day the mighty Golem was defeated. Listen to the running water, smell the scent of flowers, and bask in the glory of victory!" Huzzah, Nathan_Luo!

Dear Settlers,

Let's celebrate! Two players from the German game world Steppenwald,  jennijohanna and faxe66, just got married! On September 21st, they exchanged vows and said "Yes" to each other in a medieval castle.

Of course, as they're both great The Settlers Online fans, they took a nice picture with one of our canvas prints!

We congratulate them and wish them all the best for their future together.

Update: The maintenance has concluded and all worlds are back online.

Little known fact: Golems are highly attracted to the smell of a fresh pumpkin harvest. SpartacusVixen managed to lure the golem with a few well-placed pumpkin patches and successfully stranded the golem in the middle of the lake. Another little known fact: Golems are scared of their own reflection.

Dear Settlers,

Many community members that cancelled the Golem quest have asked for re-activation.

The Halloween event features will also be active for one additional week.
This means you can defeat Golems until maintenance on November 14th.
