I commonly get a "server not available" message when starting the game at first. I think the servers are just a little buggy right now, so when you fail to connect, it's due to a server issue, which does not attempt to reconnect you when the original connection fails.

You basically got off a train to catch another one, but train 2 isn't working, but when you try to get back on train 1, it's already left the station.

(forgive that terrible analogy. my TSM professor used it to explain dropped calls during conference connections. its the best i have. ha.)
