Good evening. Because even during server maintenance growth of crops not stop, although there is likely to wither during maintenance, all of the crops that exist at the moment, is to be able to withstand more than a day from the given water have. You're sorry for any inconvenience for a long time of maintenance, but if you are doing the cultivation, and from as much as possible given the water in front of the maintenance will ask that you will be able to log out.

Looks like the people in that thread weren't happy about the response.

I hope they take notes and fix the system so they can freeze plants during maintenances, and I hope no one here loses their plants, GMs wont be able to recover them due to some silly rules.

If I'm online after maint is over I'll try to save the ones in my ward / few other wards, it would be good if everyone who is able to, take a few mins of their time and help their neighbors.

Just ran around The Goblet Ward 5 on my server and watered all my neighbors plants XD
Hopefully it will tie them over

Great idea.

Yeah I ran around to check on my neighbor's gardens before the servers went down. Unfortunately the notice that the maintenance would be 24 hours wasn't posted until the 22nd at which point I had already planted onions. I don't mind the longer than normal maintenance, but I wish they had given us more notice.

Never seen this happen after Jute has been tended. Are you sure you guys actually "tended" them? Fertilizing them does not count.

Well.. I've been growing thavnairian onions for quite a while now. I keep a log of what, when, where, and who, planted, tended, fertilized, and harvested, and I can read... So, yes, I'm sure. Also, others in the FC have confirmed it. Like I said, it has happened more than once. We are not beginners.

One thing nobody has yet mentioned in any of the "will-the-plants-die?!" threads here is - what about those which will become ready to harverst shortly after the maintenance starts - will they survive 25+ hours?? I was lucky enough to harvest half of one garden just before maintenance started so that's a bit of relieve but still have about 6 - 8 valuable plants which are about to be ready in couple of hours Also - unlike plants in growing progress the ready ones can't be tended anymore so nobody without right access to gather them can help you to save them by only tending them!

I think corps like Glazenut or Thavnairian Onion die without receiving care at least every 24 hours (pretty sure they turn purple well under 24 hours, and at dies about 24 hours +-) and according to the official response on the japanese thread, corps don't stop growing during maintenance, i.e. your high level corp will die no matter what you do... so be prepared for the worst.

if there's an outcry about this after maintenance *maybe* SE will do something to compensate

Very interested as well. Tended @3:30 am and unable to tend again till tomorrow's 9:00am if servers up.
