These downtimes are not posted as a complaint. Rather, as per our earlier email correspondance, there apppears to be a discrepancy between my observations and what is recorded in the official server logs. Hopefully this can help with any troubleshooting.
First in the week following our emails (Mon. Feb 15 to Sun. Feb 21), I noticed zero server downtime.
Server down: Monday Feb. 22 10:58 PM eastern time
Number of players shown in "stuck" metaserver menu: 7
What I was doing: selling junk in Scorn weapon shop
Server up: Monday Feb. 22 11:50 PM eastern time (or a bit earlier)
Rollback: None, I was even still in the shop, not in my BoR.
Did I confirm the downtime by talking with other MetalForge players on another server during the downtime: Yes.

There was a server reset at that time.
