UO Second Age

I've been playing for the past week and I've been getting these lag attacks where everything is fine and then suddenly everything freezes for a couple of seconds. It happens every few minutes.

Is this just the server having problems or is it my connection to the server or something else all together?

Situations like these can sometimes be hard to determine in a case by case basis unless many users are reporting the issue at once.

Are you seeing these issues outside of when it says the server is saving? I have been seing some lag here and there but not very frequently as you suggest.

I know it's happening to alot of other people maybe not as frequently but it's definatly not just me. It lags at all different times not just around the save time.
