Does the tail wag the dog or the dog wag the tail?  I would say that:

the server is defective for crashing so much,
the maps are defective for requiring long involvement.

This still allows the:  crash-the-server-in-a-treasure-room-in-which-
-you've-saved-yourslef-to-get-unlimited-treasure strategem.
Always save at home.  Eliminating this is more important than allowing
people to continue "hard quests" interrupted by crashes.  Hopefully
crashing will go away:  it might get less frequent if people don't
have vested interest in making the server die.
