REALMS-1133All players are disconnected from Realm when the creator leaves the Realm, iff he launched it
A Realm is shut down when its creator disconnects, but only if he is the one who initially launches that particular Realm session. If another member of the Realm is the first to launch it,any member (including the creator) can connect/disconnect without causing the Realm to shut down.
Steps to reproduce:
I created a Realm (and uploaded a single-player world to it).
I invited three friends to join.
If I am the first to connect to the Realm, all players are disconnected when I leave.
If I am not the first to connect (i.e, if one of my friends connect first), no one is disconnected when I leave.
Since I created the Realm, I theorize the game is treating it as a non-realm multiplayer instance when I am the first to launch it. Friends join the realm using the "Joinable Realms" interface (not "Joinable Friends), but are then disconnected when I exit.
If, however, someone else launches the Realm, it seems to be instantiated as a proper Realm. When that person leaves, the Realm stays up, and other players stay connected.
We have tested and verified this multiple times.

This is happening to us in my realm all the time, but it's not just me, the realm creator, leaving that causes everyone to get booted. I can't verify it, but it seems like when the first person to enter a playing session leaves, everyone gets booted out and it takes several minutes to be able to log back in.
