It would be great if there was some kind of warning before server restart

If you don't know when a server is set to restart, you just suddenly get "Disconnected from Server" and you can't even tell it was from a restart, just seems like a network error.

Ideally, server admins would have a configurable warning time and message, this was common in games in the 2000s i ran servers for, dunno why modern games seem to have forgotten it. Something simple as an alert like "Server will reboot in X minutes," where the server admin defines X.

If it's not easy to have it user-definable, then at least 1-5 minutes before restart, the server should 1) Display a message on the HUD "Server restarting: X time" and 2) not let anyone connect during these last few minutes with the message "Server restarting soon, check back in a few minutes."

Failing any of the above, at LEAST some kind of automatic "Server is now restarting" message would be nice so we know what just happened heh.
