Does this only happen to me?

Hey everyone. I got a question. I make a character and get them to like lvl 20ish and give him items and stuff and at one point I'll log off. THen I want to get back on and play again but it will say zone unavailable. IS there anyway where you can safely log you character off in a zone that stays up? Becuase, it's like I put some time into playing a character and it sucks when I'm unable to log in because, I'm in a zone that isn't up. If you lvl your character really high and this happens, how are you ever supposed to get them back? But, if there is a way around this any info. would be great, thanks!
