Good point. I actually don't know what performance looks like with 500 real users. The way I'm mocking right now is by running a script on my local machine that generates 500+ bots that listens to events to auto join + play games. I tried to implement the bots to behave as closely to humans as possible. I'm not sure if this is what you mean by keeping traffic internal to my box's OS, but right now this approach creates lag. I didn't consider whether spinning up hundreds of websocket connections from a single source (my local machine) would have any implications when load testing hm
