Suddenly getting huge pauses for 1-5 seconds every 10-30 seconds.
Making combat virtually impossible. I'd no issues before the Jamestown sever crashed today. It's 3/24 , 5:30 PM PST
I've just updated my Java 7 after the server crashed. Did the server get downgraded, or is this a java issue? Also,
how do I check my in-game latency?

Best I can suggest in these situations is to monitor your network connection. If you're failing to get packets, it's either because you have a bad connection or the server is going wonky.

I agree big lag for the last couple of days none previously. I expect some because of my location but I'm getting complete stops for about two to five seconds.
