Send us a postcard!

[BB_Sious]



Dear players,

Summer has ended, and so did the postcards flow in our mailbox. We immensely enjoyed reading them (and even deciphering the handwriting in some) as we marveled at the images and drawings you sent. Thank you for taking the time to share a bit of your holiday with The Settlers Online Community!

Of course, a few postcards were quite out of the ordinary, and this was one of them. Sand and seashells from the Baltic Sea!

When we first launched the community event, we surely didn't think of such unconventional "postcard"! So kudos to our very first winner, the German player Holzfaeller, for surprising everyone and thinking outside the box (or seashell can, for that matter )!

Congratulations!

Dear players,

There's a bit of a story behind this postcard and it involves our French community: sansgene is well-known among his fellow settlers for his leather crafting skills. His game colleagues have thus challenged him to create a leather postcard for our Community contest and send it over to our office. We're sure glad he accepted the challenge!

It seems like seashells and multicolored parrots are in line with the general exotic island theme our players love! What's next?

Congratulations for winning a special prize and keep up the good work!

Dear players,

The third winner of our Postcard Contest is the German player kassain! Kassain is a devoted member of The Settlers Online community, never missing out a chance to enter a competition or event. This time he managed to inspire us with a kaleidoscopic view of the game.

Looking through his kaleidoscope, one might notice five distinct map areas: Witch Mountain, Golden Park, Frozen Island, Lost Lagoon and Arabian Sands... This must be a holiday island where kassain's settlers spent their summer! What realm would you choose?

Share your feedback here.


Congratulations @kassain on winning a special prize!

Dear players,

The French player Cedricsecu sent us a folded handmade postcard, embellished with in-game assets: his avatar and various other icons. Not only was his postcard visually delightful, but he also made sure to send it along with a charming and considerate message:

Click on the image to see the unfolded postcard

Greetings from the Albir beach, Spain! The days run smoothly; lunch, strolling, dinner, siesta, pool, restaurant and having fun. In the end, it's nearly as tiring as working throughout the whole rest of the year.

I hope the team had some time off as well and they didn't simply envy us, players, while gazing at our postcards. Here's a little handmade postcard (I didn't have any more money, I spent it all on partying ahahah)

See you soon,
Cedricsecu (Helios) France

Note: As mentioned in the contest rules, the first three winners will be rewarded with special gifts: a TSO cup, matching drip mats and some small surprises. Unfortunately, our first winner did not reply to any of our messages to claim his reward, therefore, the gifts will be sent to the next in line!

So, congratulations Cedricsecu for winning a special prize!

Howdy, settler mates!


Don't worry, this is not BB_Penelopa's multi-account, but a Polish player sending her warm regards from Australia! It certainly took a while for the postcard to arrive in Germany, but it was all worth it!

Howdy from Australia

Where the sun shines bright and the sky is blue
Where kangaroos hop and koalas cuddle up
Where everyone is MATE -
I'm saying howdy mate!

Hooroo
penelopa21 Nowy Świat
realm 2 Poland

Thank you, penelopa21, for showing us how big Australia really is and for allowing us to picture that beautiful clear sky you have there (unlike the neverending gloomy weather here, in Düsseldorf! Boo!)


Congratulations on winning 500 gems!

Dear settlers!


Sometimes when you're out on your holiday trip, you might be lucky enough to bump into TSO's very own ambitious captain. That's exactly what happened to jave22 from Germany when he was exploring Mallorca: he met Sonya Graham and the Excelsior!

A holiday on Mallorca is always good. During our walk through the nature park, we met Sonya and the Excelsior at a stone table.

Kind regards, jave22

Thank you, jave22, for sharing this rare meeting out in the wild! I'm sure Sonya will return back to your home island with stories of her time out in Mallorca!

Dear settlers!


Sometimes the best holidays aren't too far from the comfort of your own home! Player Schwafel knows this all too well, choosing to spend their time off inside one of the best getaway locations: The Settlers Online!

A holiday at home can also be beautiful; I'm vacationing in Wildblumental!

Thank you, Schwafel, for reminding us that sometimes you don't need to travel to the ends of the earth for a good time! We'd certainly have fun exploring your home-island on the Wildblumental server.


Congratulations on winning 500 gems!

Dear settlers,


Life is always full of surprises and the Russian player Nat_s came across one during her holiday last summer. Arriving in a small picturesque town on an island, she found herself being welcomed by the Mayor himself! Strangely, this town didn't seem to have any hotels at all and, as she further describes, the locals were very hospitable and curious. Hmm, a town on an island, no hotels, kind-hearted people and the Mayor coming to see the foreigners - does this scenario remind you of a particular island?

Hello, The Settlers Online!

My vacation continues, I arrived in a small town on a beautiful sunny island.
The locals are very hospitable and curious.
There have never been tourists here and there is not a single hotel.
Therefore, even the mayor went to the square to take a look at my luggage,

I wish you the best of luck,
the settler Nat_s,

Тандрия, Russia

Thank you, Nat_s, for bringing a smile to our faces! We sure hope the locals and Mayor have treated you well!

Dear settlers!


Holidays aren't always fun and games - if you want to explore the world, you better be ready to face some of its mythical denizens! Player Tigergo84 found this out the hard way when he stumbled into the cave of a mighty dragon!

Greetings from Syrau's Cave! We're here training to fight the mighty Dragon Justus!

From Tigergo84, Windfeuertal

Thank you, Tigergo84, for fighting off Justus, the fire-breathing dragon of Syrau's Cave! I hope you didn't forget to take some of the hard-fought loot from the dragon's lair back to your home-island on the Windfeuertal server.


Congratulations on winning 500 gems!
