Epic Legit SMP Server Issues?

I'm not sure if this is just me or if other people have this problem, but for the past 12 hours I have either 1 bar of connection to the server, I can't reach it, or there was a communication error. I've reinstalled, blah blah blah, and my internet connection is wonderful. I still get the feeling this is my issue though... Any suggestions on a fix? Btw I am running 1.8.

the legit server is a mess in general, full of random areas of fps loss, instability etc. Poor thing dosn't get the attention it deserves

The EXP lag plugin was installed on that server.

We are so close to a Full Release of Minecraft I really do not want to do much as far as updating/plugins until Minecraft is out officially.

Most of the servers will probably get new maps, especially the 1.8.1 servers.

Yes, the 1.8.1 maps weren't really all that great.
Was nolagg the plugin you installed on legit? It's working wonders on build 1 and 2. I never lag anymore.

If i was an op on legit, I would help straighten this out but, for the moment, I'm not an op.

Random areas of fps losses and instability are usually caused by people dying and dropping their xp orbs, many items sitting on the ground, redstone circuits, and mob traps. If i were op, I could remove most of this in just a few commands.

There are many issues that are unfixable by quick commands, though.

I can do that stuff too, If we had the right plugins. we don't. I don't think we'll be doing any more server updates until the full release comes around anyways.

All you need is worldedit, worldguard, and essentials. Maybe nolagg, as well.

don't have all of them.

don't have all of them.

Which one are we missing? Essentials? I know that worldedit is required to run worldguard, so you have both.

We have all of those.
I took a list down of the plug-ins:
Worldedit
Worldguard
Dynmap
IHateExp

I do not see essentials on that list.
