whenever I start a server, it has a chance of staying at "Starting..." in the status menu for a while before displaying "Offline," giving no time to join the server. I refresh the page to see if it's just the browser not updating, but nothing changes. I try to join the server while it's stuck in this prolonged starting window, but it just gives me a connection refused error. I've been experiencing this problem with all three of the different versions I use: vanilla, hexxit, and realm of mianite. while it isn't too much of a problem, it becomes very tiresome when the queue grows to over half an hour.
when this happens can we at least have priority in the queue so we don't have to waste time?
