The February 2023 lag incident began when Attempt2 suddenly began to experience extreme TPS lag, to the point of rendering the server entirely unplayable. As all possible solutions, up to and including wiping the entire server failed to resolve the issue, it was believed by the server administration that it was caused by a fault on the host's end. This was later confirmed on February 7th, 2023, when the server host's technical support team confirmed that the server was running on a node that was experiencing high resource usage, and moved the server to a different node, upon which the issue was immediately resolved.
The failed attempts at fixing the issue resulted in the rollback of the world by several days, the loss of several plugin configuration files, and several days of downtime. However, the affected plugins were successfully reconfigured, and compensation was provided to all affected players.
