If you just press the "X" it will sometimes cause the end program to come up (thats what I find) and freeze it. Just do ctrl C into the box once and it will shut it down safetly or type "shutdown" into the world and "exit" into the logonserver.
If you don't do it safetly as I'm sure you may have found out, you end up with things not saving or database tables crashing which can cause loss of data.
On server shutdown if done safetly it should auto save. People don't seem to understand that. This means you don't need to do .server saveall.

.save all
Ctrl + C on arcemu-logon & arcemu-world.exe
World 1st, then logon.
