Maybe it's a text box that comes up when you login. Yeah, a message in the chat. Could be signaled in audio, through dialogue, etc.
Viewing post in What is the servers shutting down supposed to look like?
Thanks for responding. I know I could get it across by dialogue but I am making a horror game. I want the Protag to die in one of the endings, so I can't do that. I'm thinking that it would be something like a message that say the server was shut down then it shows the server list empty. Would that work?
