    At random times of the day, I, along with 20-30 other people get disconnected at exact the same time, and the TS server goes down. It lasts for around 5min but it's so weird.

    Here's a picture snapped by someone else (forgot who): http://screencast.com/t/W5kTFI60wT

    I have had something like this issue. I have tried to leave my char afk when I sleep but I always get a read time out about an hour later. Before the launcher updated I also had the issue of when trying to connect to the server getting connection refused 9/10 times, it went away for the longest time but re appeared today. The server is located in germany and the internet is not a single highway. To connect to the server it takes 15-30 "hops" to get to the server and any one of these being a derp can mess everything up, I have a feeling this is the issue. I don't think it is the server per se, but a network server that people are going through to get to the server that is going FUBAR on a regular basis.

    Can't be, I use the regular server to connect and never had this issue.

    Some possibilites:
    - Bugged mod
    - Bugged plugin
    - A trolling moderator/admin

    1. No mod is capable of using server-side commands in that way.
    2. Doubtful that a plugin is capable to running commands on it's own, unless there is a plugin specifically for that purpose (which is still highly doubtful.)
    3. If a mod was doing that, then he/she would has their power stripped and/or banned.

    I can confirm this happening. I didn't take a screen shot, but I counted 23 players leaving the game within a 5 second period. I remained logged into Alice and the TS server the whole time. I also use the NY address.

    Who said this was caused by a command self executing ?

    No I think it's just the server stopping to handle some player's connection, so it disconnects them.

    BTW my solution 3 was a joke, not a real possibility.
    So yes, a bugged mod can cut the connection, yes, a bugged plugin can do it too.
    I experienced both (not on SKCraft BTW, I never got that bug here).

    I wouldn't mind being dc/d every 30min If I didn't need to restart my client every time it happened :p
