Every day at around 9:00 GMT (5:00 EDT) the server will restart itself automatically. Before, 3 warning messages will be displayed - 5 minutes before restart, 1 minute before and several second before. Be sure to log out.
Restarting server helps to clear memory and, therefore, should improve server stability and performance. I chose time when very few players are usually online.
Each restart lasts approximately 30-40 seconds. Then you may log in again and enjoy the game.
I think it's just military time in the US, but I could be wrong. Anyways, it's still the same. At 9:00 GMT, the server restarts. Making it about 4 AM here on the east coast of the US.
(Side note: Could you get rid of my above posts? My browser screwed up on them both. Thanks)
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
