Unwhitelisted?

[River 555]

Hello, after just logging on to LotC to check something, I noticed that the screen says:

So I was wondering if the reason why there are only a few people on, and due to the recent server down if everyone might have accidentally been unwhitelisted? Is this some kind of technical problem or was I somehow banned without notification or reason? Am I the only one experiencing this? I don't quite know what happened but if anyone has an answer that would be much apreciated

devs or techies are fixing something and we're unwhitelisted for a bit whilst they're fixing it and stuff !!

They are attempting to repair chunk corruption, and have most likely disabled the whitelist. This is a fairly normal course of action when something happens like this.

I was 99% sure that was the case but wanted to just post this as a means so others know and to make 100% sure.

I see it too. They do it sometimes. I think it is done when they need tech and admins on in order to test something out or something another. They are probably making sure 3.5.5 doesn't have  a giant hole in it or something. Or making sure that a plugin they added was added correctly. Or it could be a side effect of the server being down. Anyway, I've seen it several times before and it hasn't lasted indefinitely before. I wouldn't be concerned until it says 100 people and your still not whitelisted. Normally, if you weren't whitelisted you'd go into wandering soul mode though. If you were banned it'd likely clearly say you are banned not you aren't whitelisted.
