the server seemed to have experienced a lag spike, at approx. 9:50 EST (7/4/17); so far, going on for 20 minutes, hasn’t let up. about 10 ish players were on during this time, and most if not all were experiencing this spike. players couldn’t eat, couldn’t take damage, actions were delayed, including the inability to /back. obsidian was impossible to mine, and all teleports became delayed. unsure of how this started happening, sadly. everything was fine till the given approx. time, then it just got progressively worse. the spike seemed to have come suddenly, with no apparent cause that anyone online could pinpoint or identify. (having asked several people in TS that were also experiencing this, they agreed, and couldn’t find anything else either)

tldr:

9:50 pm EST, 7/4/17, sudden lag spike happened, no apparent cause found.
