Server thinks I'm logged in

Well, there I am, just minding my own business, doing some mining, and then I start to lag to the point where blocks don't reappear when I break them and they don't drop. I start thinking, "Okay, I guess it just hiccuped. Let me just log in and out."

Here's the catch. If I try to refresh the server list, it won't let me connect to smp9. However, smp4 and my other servers come up, and when trying to connect to smp4, it says that I may only be logged into one EMC server at a time.

I've closed my client, and restarted it, in hopes of something working, but that didn't work. And when I look at the live map, it shows me at my location, and it doesn't seem to me that anyone else is moving on it.

EDIT: Okay, well it just started working now. Before when I tried to connect it came up with connection refused:connect. Appears that the whole entire server and everyone on it was affected. Any ideas what caused this?

Smp9 is being a troll

Yeah I actually found diamonds as it started to happen and when I saw I was still logged I thought I was gonna die.

I suggest telling a mod to kick you from the server

That's great, now I won't panic as much if/when it happens again. Could a mod lock this thread please?
