My castle was/is on the tour for about a month but I only have 1 VISIT!!!!! How is this happening? Why do people not do the tours anymore? I do it all the time when I'm bored.
Should I remove it from tours then put it back on again? Or should I leave it? PLZ HELP ME!!!!

Most likely due to Monstrology. A lot of people started doing that, therefore things like castle tours are a little less popular. It's not your fault, but it will take it for that visit count to go up.

Hope to see you all in the Spiral!

As the game keeps getting updated with new stuff to do, there less time for people to do castle tours and work on the new things in the updates, such as monstrology.

It's totally random what happens to your decorated castle when it's listed.

Many people will visit castles that have been listed within 24 hours. After that, it's pretty hard to get visitors. You gotta figure there are 10s of thousands (or even millions) of houses listed at any given time. It's difficult to get your house recognized.

On that note, there are still thousands of houses that are basically storage and are still listed on Castle Tours. Probably 50-75% of the houses I visit are not decorated but are filled with dropped stuff that was probably dumped out of someone's backpack.

It's a shame, as there are houses that are beautifully decorated that don't get the notice they deserve. I wish there was a better way to see and rate houses, but alas, any possible changes will probably happen a long time down the road.

The best way for your house to be recognized (and possibly ranked) is to keep listing it during that 24 hour period. Once you have sufficient visitors and/or ranking, you can leave it for the 60 days.

I hope this helps!!!!
