What Works Right Now
Last checked: October 23, 2026. L.O.S Castle runs CastleVille's last release (revision 74708) on our own server. Here's an honest picture of where it's at. Something not on this list broken? Tell us in Bug Reports.
✅ Working
- The tutorial, from banishing the first Beasties through Yvette's house to building your first walls. It picks up where you left off.
- Your kingdom: building, decorating, houses and taxes, crops and animals, chopping and mining, levels and XP.
- The Gloom and Beasties, exploring new land with Exploration Crystals. Hidden blockers left behind after you banish a Beastie are cleaned up.
- Crafting in the Workshop and the other crafting buildings, with recipe mastery and proper crafting times.
- Royal Buildings and crews: friends who join your crew and helpers you hire are saved, and finishing one raises your Castle Level.
- Quests and the story, with new characters moving in as you level up.
- Story worlds: Agonia, the Fairy Realm and Return to Jacque, each in your own copy that remembers your progress.
- Your character, outfit, colours and crest, and the original wardrobe.
- Pets keep their names and genders.
- Neighbours: every other L.O.S Castle player is your neighbour. Visiting, helping (accept their help to have your houses taxed and trees chopped), free gifts and requests for materials or Crystal Shards.
- Shares: what you share from the game (like Post for Shards) is posted in #castle-kingdom-shares on the L.O.S Games Discord with a Claim button. Neighbours who claim it get a reward, and so do you.
- The Royal Treasury, when staff have it open (see the FAQ).
- Saving: automatically, every few seconds while you play.
🟡 Partly working
- First visits can be slow: the first time you open L.O.S Castle, a "still loading" notice shows above the game until your kingdom's art has arrived. Later visits are quicker.
- Art: a few pictures were never archived. We rebuild them when we can (Garett, Derek and the Agonia gremlins are back).
⏳ Not available
- Trading: Zynga switched off the Bazaar in the game's last release, so it can't come back as it was.
- Other story worlds: their layouts were lost when the servers closed.
- Buying crowns with real money: nothing in the game is sold.
Reporting a problem
Post in the Bug Reports forum or in the L.O.S Castle channels on the L.O.S Games Discord: say what you did, what happened, and add a screenshot if you can. The game also reports its own errors to the team.
