thank gosh my plants will be alright!

Unless they have pests, that might be an issue you'll want to deal with once you can log back in (which you can now).

@Sparck Is there a list or anything we can look at to see what the bugs/glitches were that have been worked on during the downtime?

the loading page says the housing area is still down

UPDATE: You should now have access to your houses once again. Thanks for your patience while we worked to resolve an issue.

Wizards,

We’ve discovered an infestation concern with houses that is going to require a game update.

In order to properly fumigate the bugs out of your houses though, we’ll need to temporarily close access to them. We will let you know as soon as access is restored once a game update can be released asap.

Plants will be fine during the time you are locked out of your house.

Please keep watch on this announcement for new information.

How long will players won't be able to access their castles & dorms?

Sincerely,
Taylor Life Blade - Level 88

Am not sure you are aware how "needs" work. If your plants were dying it means that when you last visited them you didn't take care of all their needs. Plants age while you are away from them but they never die between your visits unless you leave them with pests or other needs. I know this for a fact because I have many, MANY plots around my houses and sometimes it will be MONTHS between visits. So long as I water them / put magic / take care of bees, etc before I leave the house, it can be YEARS between visits and they won't be dead.

Worth noting, though - if you even if it's a long, long time between visits, they will only go to the next level in your absence. So if you just plant them and come back a long time later, they will have needs but only be at Young. Leave again for a long time and they'll be at Mature, ready to be taken care of. Once they are on their way to elder, you're good to go! Mind you, since you aren't taking care of their needs their growth will be slow AND you'll miss out on some harvests.

For all the reasons above I place my garden's one teleporter hop from my main house. I don't want to accidentally visit a plot without having the energy to take care of all the needs so I put them in places I wouldn't otherwise visit.

Looks like you've been playing this game for a while so I'm sure that you probably already know all this but worth mentioning for those who might not.

Regardless, sorry to hear your plants died. Hate it when that happens.

This gives me an idea, why not just let people access shared bank in the spell book?
Even make it cost like 20k crowns
