Can we get a timer for the server disconnects?

Kinda annoying to get suddenly kicked from the server.

Some of the disconnects are not from a server timed reset. Also there is already a timer, it shows up in yellow each hr on your combat screen. Believe it is to go to 5 hrs before the server resets.

It would be really useful to have the reset timer show up in the forums too though, if that's possible.

The Server should give a notice that it is about to reset and that you should find a safe place to rest. This gives you about 9 (?) minutes to find that place, before it actually goes pop.

I had noticed that I wasn't seeing that notification in the Combat Log very much recently, but then I realized that the Server wasn't resetting on a schedule, it was crashes of whatever causing it to reset.

As well, and you probably know this, the Server tells you, via the Combat Log, how many hours it has been up when you log in, plus at each full hour it reaches. Supposedly the Server is on a 5 hour reset schedule, at the moment.

Could we possibly mirror the message outside the combat log? When actually in hard fights it gets lost in th spam. Especially if you are digging for a consumable.

Yes. Often more, from what I experience.
