Servers being down is not an uncommon occurrence, as stuff like that happens all the time. Maintenance on servers usually helps alleviate this problem, which is why companies often voluntarily shut servers down to repair them. However, some issues go under notice and end up crashing servers in the end.
Oftentimes this happens when a large group of people tries accessing the server simultaneously, overburdening the servers and causing them to crash. Though in this case, it's not known what caused the server to shut down and for players to receive error code 2137-7504.
