Dear Settlers,

Update: The “Black Knights” mini event was supposed to be a fun event for all players. Unfortunately, things are not working out as we thought. Therefore we have decided to deactivate the event today (Monday) around 15.30 CEST. Make sure to finish “The Black Knights” adventure before 15.30 CEST to get the event bonus.

We will most certainly rework the mini event for a future use.

Today the most wonderful, excellent and best event of all times started.

It is so great that it was implemented without a maintenance!

We are very excited and looking forward to your feedback about the best and most colourful "The Settlers Online" event ever created.

"The Black Knights" Event - July 24th - 26th, 10:00 CEST (48 hours) 15:30 CEST

Experience the game with a novel theme, inspired by "The Black Knights". Given its unquestionable popularity which has deemed "The Black Knights" the most played adventure of all times, we've decided to dedicate a special 2-day Event July 24th until 15:30 CEST in its honour.

Have a look at the event description in our > forums < to learn more about all the superb event features.

Happy Settling!

Dear players,

Italian craftsman Calippone forged the Holy Grail of Settler insignias, a mythical Settlers sword - a feat that was thought possible only by the most powerful gods.

We are in awe of such unbelievable craftsmanship and bow to this masterful smith. Check out more pictures of this sword in our Italian forums.

Happy settling!
