"Please do not post account specific issues"(copy/pasted from this sub-forum's rules) ; this sounds exactly like that, in which case they state you need to open a support ticket.
First time I ever mess with having a server.
Rented one here, so my friends could play in our seed with I had to be online.
I can launch the server from the control panel, and my friend could see and join it in game, but when I exited, she got a disconnect.
How do we set it up, so I don't need to be online/have the game running, for my friends to join the server?
Hope it makes sense, all new to this.
