You...don't understand how this works so let me explain.
The world server connects to the login server right? World server, among many things, handles moving from one zone to another. Every single zone that is "up" has it's own individual zone server that communicates with the world server as well as any clients actively connected to that zone. When that message appears it means that the world server has lost it's connection with the login server. NOT that the login server has gone down. When the login server goes down all servers cease communication, all players are booted, and the world server goes into an infinitely looping attempt to reestablish connection, which obviously fails until the login server is brought back up. When the world server drops, however, all people that are still with a single zone may continue playing, as they are still being handled by their individual zone server. However if they were to attempt to zone, log in/out, go linkdead, die, or anything of that nature, the world server is no longer there to handle the transition between zone servers and the player is booted from the game.
Make sense?
