However, the problem is that the Team9000 server is NOT showing up on the minecraft.net server list... and everytime I try to join the server via the Team9000 website, it gives me a page error.

{EDIT} Okay, figured out what the underlying issue is. Apparently the minecraft.net/servers.jsp list is all out of whack, mainly due to the 1.8 update I guess...
This was what I've heard from the WoM: Realms staff
So, it's not client-side fortunately, but it is still a nuisance.
