Whenever i try to log into the server it says "could not connect to a default or fallback server, please try again later: io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException
The server is restarting to fix lag issues and to make sure the server works smoothly. It will be back up in a bit.
I know right, and it should be so obvious that the server is down due to the amount of players there are on it.
When you see messages like that, you can always check discord under announcements. If its a longer downtime it will be mentioned there often. (like yesterday)
