===[[File:Balloons.png|20px|link=]] Happy Birthday !===

It is our pleasure to announce that The West has turned an unbelievable 10 years old! This is a very special occasion, because not many games manage to exist over such a long period of time. We owe this to you, the players, who made this game great and have been loyal to it all this time, even in the difficult times of game bugs and other problems. That's why we want to say '''THANK YOU''' to all of you!


===[[File:Balloons.png|20px|link=]] How did it all start? ===

In the modern world, an idea sparked that would take InnoGames back to the old days of the Wild West! Something different, something new! The three friends who decided to create the hugely successful game, Tribal Wars, were not done with developing new ideas which came to their minds while they were playing, watching Bud Spencer movies and drinking beer. They drew from a variety of material and sources for ideas, from watching classic Western movies and reading novels at night, which was then followed by hard work in the morning. And so the very first quests in our highly evolved quest system were construed. The West was developed. Players quickly flocked in to explore the new lands, taking on different jobs all over the map and fighting some bad villains to keep the prairie safe.

Watch the special video we created for you for this special occasion !
