@Orion: Very interesting, how exactly would you be able to simulate a higher latency?

so you can call it on the client-side via ServerConnection.setSimulatedNetParams() and/or on the server side by %someClient.setSimulatedNetParams().
searching GG for "setSimulatedNetParams" doesn't turn up all that much,
but searching google for the same things brings up a useful article in TDN about it.

Always good to know more built-in functions.

running a dedicated server and a regular client on the same machine is a perfectly valid testing scenario. of course, your network latency will be artificially low, but that's fairly minor and you can even simulate latency/dropped packets within TGE.
