Yeah, pretty unfortunate.
We have to wait till the host (Azza) sees it and restarts the server, this can take a few hours.
We\'ll soon be running an auto-restart script that\'ll ensure that the server will restart on its own, based on a schedule though. It is currently not possible to detect server-crashes because the javaw process remains running and doesn\'t terminate itself after a server has crashed.
This might be a good moment to take the time and register at our forums

We\'ll be keeping server status updates, general server updates, information about the game, mods, faction/game discussion and more overthere.
