They have not.
Should be fixed. The team is investigating potential causes to avoid future problems.
Should be fixed now, sorry for the inconveniences.
Thank you for the new reports, the issue has again been forwarded. Sorry for the inconveniences :(
Servers should be back up, let us know if you're still encountering problems.
1602 for me as well: getting bankrupt cause of buying too many tools and not understanding all game mechanics as a kid - good memories
Not delayed! It was always planned for May
That's correct, reveal of the game was in June last year.
However, for context: full on development (i.e. game leaving concept phase and launching actual production) started in 2023.
It's currently being investigated.
I don't know, but we'll have a look tomorrow and hopefully get them back running again soon.
Thank you for reporting the issue.
Have not, personally.
If we get everyone's souls, maybe we can do a 4D Anno
It's indeed lavender! If you close your eyes, you can smell it through the screen.
Not quite sure what you mean with the "Starting Provinces" part.
On the contrary, Anno 117: Pax Romana gives you more choice compared to Anno 1800 since you can choose to start in either province when starting a sandbox game.
The campaign, as in Anno 1800, might occasionally restrict you in some regards for narrative reasons, but that's a different story (hah, story!).
Very happy to hear you're enjoying these blogs!
They take some time to put together, with input from different departments and dedicated visuals to explain things (like in these recent blogs), so, we're glad they're so well-received.
No, but we'll definitely announce when we've sent invites.
Taking note to specifically lock your version to diagonal roads only
Heya! There are no ongoing playtests right now, and we have not sent any invites to said tests yet either.
If you'd like to participate in future playtests, please sign up with your Ubisoft account via https://register.ubisoft.com/anno-117/en-GB
There is no other way to participate in playtests, I'm afraid. Should you have issues with your Ubisoft account, please get in touch with Customer Support: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/contact
Appreciate the post! We don't even need to do our own marketing anymore, this is fantastic! :P
But seriously: it means a lot to us to see our game recommended this way. We hope everyone picking up Anno 1800 in the sale is going to have a great time with our "baby".
Hey, just letting you all know that the issue is still under investigation by the sys admins to check for the root cause. That's all I have right now, but hope to have updates soon.
