The offers in the Guild Market are changed from time to time. The worldwide Community of The Settlers Online will choose NINE items that will be included in the next update of the Guild Market category. It is up to the entire worldwide Community to decide which items will be included in the offer. More details can be found below.

Voting facts

• Start: Thursday, 8th of October, ~14:15 BST
  UPDATE 15.00 BST: The vote couldn't start due to technical issues with the website. We will post an update as soon as a new start time is decided.
  UPDATE 16.00 BST: The survey is up and running. Have fun and choose wisely!
• End: Sunday, 18th of October, ~22:59 BST
• Who? All players from all language versions can vote once on their instance.
• Where? Use the website login. After some time a pop-up will show up on our community/news site.
• How? In the survey you select ONE item from the first question and up to EIGHT items from the second question.
• Result calculation:
  The Votes of all language versions (instances) will be summed up. 1 player can vote for up to NINE items in total: 1 item from the first question and up to 8 items from the second question. The item with the most votes from the first question and eight items with the most votes from the second question win.
• Result announcement:
  The results of the voting will be presented between October 19th and October 30th.

There are a couple of reasons why the results are not presented instantly after the survey ends. The extended time is needed to make sure there will be neither double votes nor cheating attempts via multi accounts. Afterwards we need to sum up the votes from all language versions and discuss with the development team when the changes will be live.

All items that are currently available in the Guild Market will be changed.

Important update on main Guild Market items

Dear Settlers,

The next Guild Market update will also include the Friary, the 2nd most popular item from the first part of the recent vote.
The gifting option was intended, but due to technical constraints this is not possible without a huge delay.
In order to balance this out, the Friary building will be added as well.


Although not directly giftable, there is an easy solution if you want to "donate" a building to a friend:
Send them the guild coins via friend trade offer and they can acquire the item themselves.

BUILDINGS FOR THE NEXT GUILD MARKET UPDATE

Name: Granite Pit
Limit 2 per player
Trade/Gift: Neither tradeable nor giftable
Price: 5985 Guild Coins
Votes: 46.8% = 1st Rank


Will also be added:

Name: Friary
Limit: 2 per player
Trade/Gift: Tradeable, but not giftable
Price: 7425 Guild Coins
Votes: 27.7% = 2nd Rank


Limit details
The limit refers to acquisitions in the new Guild Market.
It doesn't matter if you already acquired the items in the past.
Everybody will be able to get the aforementioned amount of items in exchange for Guild Coins.

We hope you'll find this solution satisfactory.
You will be able to acquire a total of 4 useful buildings instead of 2.
The missing gifting option can be solved by sending the needed guild coins to the recipient friend.

Please share your feedback about the changes here.

Happy Settling!
