Greetings, Settlers!

As we edge ever closer to that festive time of year, we'd like to help you prepare for this Winter season; after all, it's cold outside!

When you next log into the game, don't forget to stop by your mailbox and see if there's anything special inside. You might find a surprise!

Happy settling!
