Global servers collection issues #11

Open cooltrain7 opened 4 years ago

From the Global Server Collection for PS2 we've seen the following issues:

On the 02/02/2021 Emerald was the only server to go down for maintenance. Due to the nature of it being a single server being taken offline, there was no way* to detect this through the API.

While the Worlds Collection does report on a per server bases, and did show Emerald as locked during the time it has proved in the past to be a very* unreliable method of detecting per server maintenance/down time. As in the past the collection would rapidly switch between locked/online on a per server basis changing minute to minute, leaving it untrustworthy.

This is a limitation of how we store this data, and what info the PS2 team gives to us.
