Christmas 2014: Dev Diary

CHRISTMAS EVENT 2014

Dear Settlers,

The cold season of the year is getting closer and closer. Did you manage to spot the first signs of the upcoming winter?
All the settlers are preparing for the special Christmas Event! The summary of the event is available below.

The Christmas Event 2014 will start at the same time worldwide and it will end with 2 removal phases.

• Start: 11th of December 2014
• Removal phase I: After the maintenance on the 8th of January 2015
• Removal phase II: With the maintenance on the 15th of January 2015

NOTE: these dates are for the EU-English servers. On other servers the dates may slightly differ.

Several graphics will be modified to fit the Christmas mood, like the logo and the loading screen.
Information about the removal phases can be found -->here!<--.

During the Christmas event, all players will get the opportunity to gather special event resources: Presents.

Presents (Event resource)
Presents are displayed in the "Event" tab in storehouses.
The event resource can be traded. In case you still have Presents from previous years, you can use them during this year's event.
The game will offer a variety of possibilities to collect many gifts, including Presents!

• Advent Calendar: The event calendar has been improved. Open one door every day to get gifts
• Buff Adventures: New special non-combat buff adventures that provide useful rewards. Available through Christmas Surprise special doors
• Adventures: Two combat adventures with a Croaker Christmas story are available
• Collections: Special collectible items will start to spawn on your home islands - you will be able to transform them into Presents
• Daily Quests: Special Christmas Daily Quests will be running during the whole event
• Event Quest Chain: A Christmas Quest Chain will guide you through the event
• Explorers: Each standard treasure search will have a chance to bring you some Presents (in addition to a standard search reward)
• Shop: There will be 2 packages with Presents available in the Shop

With the start of the Christmas 2014 event, the Advent Calendar will become available again!
It provides many useful gifts, including buildings.

After the Christmas 2014 event activation, you can open one of the 28 doors in the Advent Calendar every day.

The Advent Calendar interface will feature 4 different types of doors:

Type: Regular door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date that is displayed on the door
Rewards: Opening a regular door provides rewards that are chosen randomly



Type: Buff Adventure door
Description: Can be opened on or after the date that is displayed on the door, regardless of previously opened doors
Rewards: These doors offer special Christmas buff adventures



Type: Special door
Description: Can be opened only if all previous doors have been opened.
Rewards: When it's time to open this door, one reward must be chosen



Type: 28th window
Description: Can be opened on 28th day of the event only if all previous doors have been opened
Rewards: When it's time to open this door, one reward must be chosen

There is also a very special reward waiting for players who will open all calendar doors:
This year it's a bundle including an Arctic Iron Mine and a Frozen Manor!

Opening the Advent Calendar interface is simple! Just click on the icon of a star that's floating next to your avatar:

Only available through the Advent Calendar, new buff adventures are introduced with this year's event. The "Buff Adventures" are a series of adventures that require you to "deliver" gifts to houses on multiple islands.
