Hello all FUNY Guild members,

Monday 12th January marked the 10th Birthday of the FUNY Guild - so a Happy Birthday to us all :)

Christmas Event.
This Guild excelled itself during the Christmas Event - and due to donation made to the Guild Bank, this Guild was able to give away to members just over 1.25 million (yes let that just sink in 1,250000+ Presents) on behalf of Happy and all the Officers we want to say a huge THANK YOU to every player that donated to the Guild Bank, and to all members that benefited from this you must know by now that you are in a Great Guild.

Valentine’s Event.
A start date for this event has not been announced as yet, but we are hoping that it will start around the 9th of February, that being said I would ask you to all look at the info for this event from last years -

https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/39715-Dev-Diary-Valentine-Event-2025

When more info is available there will be a further mail in relation to this.
One point to remember is that since Cipsoft has taken over the game they have a habit of changing the way these event have previously run - so bear that in mind when making you preparation.

Guild Chat Room.
We encourage all FUNY Guild member to use the Guild Chat room, we are a very friendly bunch, here you can get help, advice and just get to know you fellow Guild members, so don’t be shy, come in and say hi.

Building Upgrades.
in relation to resources required to upgrade building in almost all case upgrade resources to level 5 are free in Guild Chat, ask and we shall do our best to provide what you need.

Buffing.
Please DO NOT buff players Islands without asking first.
Did you know that in most cases if you have a quest to 'Apply 'x' amount of buff on a friends island' - dropping fish or meat in a deposit will cover almost all of these, if the quest requires a specific buff that must be used - ask in Guild Chat for a player that would like these, I am sure that you will find players that would like you to place these for them.

Buff Packs.
The Guild store has been donated buff's by Guild members, I want you to send me the request for the buffs that you would like, so as before select two categories, check that I am online and send your request for the buffs, the cost of each item on the list is 1 x fish, so please have a look at the Buff Packs page on the website and send your orders to me.

Abbreviations.
A new extensive list of Abbreviations used in Settlers, can be found on the FUNY site in the Guides section, this is a work of collaboration by many Guild members and myself, please have a look, this list in by now means finished - and addition will be made to it as and when convenient.

Holidays or Absence from the Game.

Going away or won’t be online for a while please let an officer know, this way your place in the Guild can be protected. If we see a player not online for a continued period of time without us having been notified, you may well find that you no longer have a place in this Guild, so please let an Officer know.

A copy of this mail can be found on our Discord in the Guild mail section.

For the Officers

Hello all FUNY Guild members

Trading
--------
Please remember that trading within Guild will always get you the best results - remember even hi level players all started out as needing help, and this Guild will always support you if you need resources and are putting in the effort to do your best to be part of the Guild, so if you need items ask in Guild chat, please and thank you are always good - Please do not send unsolicited request to players in the Guild.

Please note that players that do not engage in Guild chat and events where we help other members of this Guild stand a good chance of being removed. Being part of a Guild is to get involved and help where you can; this is what a Guild is for.

Migration of Game Worlds
----------------------------
As most of you now know - Cipsoft are in the process of moving Game Worlds onto their servers, we do not know how long this will take - but we are hoping that this goes smoothly and causes as few problems and issues as possible.

If you use the Client, we are hoping that either all game worlds are moved before the event starts as this will allow for an update of the Client to allow us to play as we normally do. If we get moved before the event and not all Game Worlds are moved before the event starts there is the possibility that the Client may not work as it should - so just remember that in this case you will need to use you standard login details and join via the website (unsure if this will be via Ubisoft or Cipsoft at this time).

Upcoming Event
-----------------
The next event will be Halloween, the start date for this is as yet not carved in stone - to quote Cipsoft 'Our current plan is to start the Halloween event on either October 27, 28, or 29. The exact date and time will be announced as soon as they have been decided.' so as clear as mud at this time.

In the meantime I would suggest that you have a look at both the wiki and the dev diary from last year, also if you have not had a peek at the event on the test server I would do that as soon as possible.
