[font=Arial]There can be many reasons why the server can be offline and here are a few,[/font]

[font=Arial]DDoS[/font]
[font=Arial]A DDoS or Distributed-Denial-of-Service attack is when the server is flooded with multiple packets of data from multiple servers from around the world which can range anywhere from 100 all the way up to 30k+. When this happens the server network line becomes filled with incoming data and causes the server to lag and eventually stop responding to players data requests in the server, thus causing you to lag and eventually disconnect. A sign of a DDoS is when your ping jumps well about the average and soars into the 600+ range.[/font]

[font=Arial][font=Arial]Hardware Issues[/font][/font]
[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]The machine has a hardware issue causing problems. This can be caused through many ways and can happen to any machine.[/font][/font][/font]

[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]Bad Bootup[/font][/font][/font][/font][/font]
[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]Not common for the machine to do this but this occurs when the server has crashed and has auto-rebooted itself. The server then encounters a problem causing them to appear offline by jumping onto the wrong port. Simple fix though.[/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font]

[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]Offline[/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font]
[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]Staff team have decided to place the machine offline for a certain reason. Most of the time a staff member will alert the community if this happens in the announcement section of the forums.[/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font]

[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]There has been a technical problem with the machine in which staff are not quite sure why this error has occurred. [/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font]
