Continuous connection with a continuous flow of data back and forth between two devices on the Internet is always tenuous at best. If you've ever seen a streaming video, such as one on YouTube stop to buffer, then you've experienced a stoppage or disconnect. There are protocols for reestablishing connection and resending dropped packets, but even that's not perfect.|

The fault could be your computer, your cable lines, your router, your modem, your ISP's cable, your ISP's server, one of the many connections along the Internet backbone, or the game server.
It's not uncommon to experience a few mapservers 'pauses' in one night and even a full disconnect. Just logging back on usually fixes everything.
This is normal.

It's anecdotal, but I think it's at least worth someone checking performance logs.

If a disconnect keeps happening often in the same way doing the same thing, then definitely report that. But random once-a-night d/c's aren't that out of the ordinary.
