It's not really the "loginserver" that's "down"

Essentially when this happens there's something wrong with the "World Server" which proxies players between zones and handles other misc related tasks.


If you try to zone in any manner, (be that dying, regular zoning, porting, gating, etc) you will lose connection to the server because the worldserver isn't sending you to the proper zoneserver (or simply isn't working at all.)

How is it fixed? Can a scheduled batch file be set up to reset the service/job that does controls this? Or can this be queried in a scheduled pattern via DB SPs and a fix triggered if the expected result is not returned?
