Requirements:
Google or Exchange account
Smartphone (Android/IOS/Windows)
Step 1a: Adding the calendar to your current account Directions for a google account:
First thing you're going to want to do is to head over to the Gemstone Calendar on the play.net page...
On the absolute bottom right hand corner of the calendar, there's a +GOOGLE CALENDAR button. Click on that.
It'll open up a link to your google calendar, and a prompt to toggle which of Gemstone's various calendars you want to add to your calendar. From there, you'll now have Simu's calendar integrated into your google calendar, with a different color scheme depending on which of simu's calendar(s) you've added.
Step 1b: Adding the calendar to your current account Directions for an Exchange account:
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way of completely circumventing this, so I'll just give you specific things to copy/paste if you don't have a google account.
If working on outlook.com... click on the navigation on the top left, and move to Calendars. From there, click on Import, and then Subscribe on the left navigation menu
