I’m currently having problems connecting and staying connected to server.  Do people get knocked off server for too much traffic ?  If so, are people prioritized for being donators ?

Hello @Aagentorange, I am sorry this is happening to you.

To answer your question, No the server does not prioritize donators over regular player status.
Rarely there are server crashes, but you can check that here https://discord.com/invite/98pMNxq under the #server-status tab. Moving forward though!
This sounds like it is stability issue so lets start with the basics to see if we can get this fixed!

 

Please try resetting your router by doing the normal protocol, ( unplugging the router for 30 seconds). Let the router reboot and go from there. 
If this doesn't work please reach out here again! Thank you!
