Dear Settlers!
This short dev diary provides a brief summery and first impressions about what's coming up. A first preview version of the Christmas event 2013 will go live on the public test server (http://www.tsotesting.com) on Tuesday, November the 12th.
Since the test server version will only be a technical preview, all prices, numbers and limitations are not final - the balancing might differ in the final version. A complete dev's diary will be published once the event was finalized.
Event start: 12th of December 2013.
Event end: 09th of January 2014.
