The Settlers Online servers will come down tomorrow, Wednesday night at 11:45PM PT (2:45AM EST) for a 5 hour maintenance. The game is planned to be playable at 5:00AM (PT).

Maintenance this week may be extended by up to two hours, which means that The Settlers Online may not be playable until 7:00AM (PT) on Thursday. We will update everyone as necessary if the game is up early or needs additional maintenance time.

In addition, the game update scheduled for this week has been postponed to next week's maintenance. This week will be a routine maintenance with no changes or patch notes.

Be sure to follow The Settlers Online on Facebook and Twitter for news and exclusive updates!

See you in-game,

The Corrupted Wish Contest is always one of our most popular events, and we decided to bring it back! The idea is that a poster comes up with a wish, another poster grants the wish, but some unintended consequence follows. Twenty random participants will be chosen to win 200 Gems, so be sure to get a couple of good posts in!

Congratulations to Merzer on winning this week's Screenshot of the Week prize. A whole line of wheat-thieves were caught grain-handed! We'll have to keep an eye out on our own islands to make sure they don't try and take our precious wheat!
