Even on the old server the lag was no where near what it has been. Of course there are more people now, but the server is a beast now. And I didn't mean anyone was complaining, just a lot of talk about lag, which assured me it wasn't me.

Ya, I understand what causes lag and stuff. I was just making sure I didn't have any issues on my end. It has been pretty bad last couple days and I haven't really heard anyone else having issues. Although there has been quite a bit of (for lack of better word) complaining about lag tonight, so I am feeling better about my end. I have been getting paranoid something was eating my bandwidth.

Thx for the tips tom. Unfortunately I can only be on during evenings after work. Although when I am on with smaller crowds, there seems to be just as much lag. Just gets annoying when ur trying to mine a lot and you gotta break every block 3-4 times.

The game has been pretty laggy for me lately; the past couple weeks. The last couple days have been really bad. I am just wondering if this is a server issue or if something (or someone) is sucking my bandwidth without my knowledge. Anyone else having issues?

Definitely Avast for Windows. Its free, easy, and doesn't bog down your system like the full-fledged anti-virus. Also, get Malware Bytes - the free version allows you to quickly perform manual scans of files. Also, don't use Internet Explorer, get Firefox.
