A server I love to play on just suddenly “lost connection” and then randomly disappeared. I tried to entire it but it just kicked me out again saying “It’s no longer there.” Can anyone tell me wtf is going on?

Update: The server seems to be back up and online, yet no one has joined in at the moment. Does this happen often? Does a server just kick all players out of a game and suddenly vanish?

Yes, they do this to flush the server and clean up their connection, happens weekly I’m told on all servers.

It’s a choice made by the server admins. It’s a good idea to do it.

Mine was set to automatically restart at 3:00am on Tuesday mornings.

That does anything? You would think that the connection would be fine.

It’s just to make sure the server isn’t losing packets and losing signal strength to the players that need to connect it. A bigger and badder version of you restarting your router basically.
