This morning, i was kicked off the server and given the error "A Connection Was Forcibly Closed By The Remote Host.". Now, i come on the website, look at the online players, and see 0. Is there some hidden updating i was not told about?

Its not so much an update as the data center is having issues (from what I've gathered) Hopefully the managers will make some form of announcement soon.

I was worried about this too, trying to connect.

Novaleigh is correct(the datacenter is being screwy), at the moment there's nothing we can do apart from wait it out. Please have patience, and the server will be back up for all to enjoy before you know it <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>
