Is it possible to make a countdown timer that keeps running even if the server is offline?

No... It's not possible, because all stops when you close the black window

Not even with MySQL?

MySQL is a database storage system - it stores data and lets you select/update/delete from it, it's not a timer system...

If you're using Linux, you could use PHP or a bash/shell script with a CRON.

Im not using linux, but if the MySQL is up 24/7 why can't it just update the "timer" every hour or something that should be possible? and the server is up 24/7 its just when i restart i don't want the timer to restart or stop.

But if its not possible on windows well.. thanks for helping then.

Create a PHP site which reads from mysql base. Almost like a UCP site. That's the only way I can see it possible.

Again, MySQL saves information. It doesn't execute timers.
