While the days of violent spoon stabbing for server rushing are gone, it still applies ;) In the event of a server crash (or any other downtime), please give it a few minutes once it's up before logging in again. Multiple people logging on before everything is all happy and loaded usually just kill it again and starts a vicious cycle.
Try waiting d10+6 minutes or something like that.
It's often not a problem due to admins changing the passwords when necessary to give it a breather, but a lot of people probably either don't remember or never knew, so just a reminder either way.

It's a shame the router couldn't be on a timer so that when the server bounces, it will cut all traffic for 15 minutes... maybe if it's sophisticated enough, it might be able to "listen" for the server and when it gets a successful ping, it begins the timer sequence.
