Just Joined; I notice lag - not during server save

[Roxxorman]

Hello,

I live in Michigan and I am just wondering if anyone is noticing any latency happening.  I know there is some during the server save, but I have also noticed that there is latency happening at other times.  It is bad enough that, while I am currently crafting, I am worried that during combat against mobs, I might die due to latency.

Is there any kind of fix on my end that i need to add to some kind of file to resolve this, or if not, is the server admin aware of this and is there some kind of fix?

Would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Thanks
