Many veteran sparrers do believe it's the same as the old system, and don't understand how the detection is even meant to work. I'm not denying their opinion, just saying it isn't very reliable and that I need a better explanation.

I've had plenty of sparrers who never experienced it themself, but have heard about it from others.

Like I said, this is the expected behaviour. I've seen the part of the built-in code that handles sword detection, our sword detection is doing the exact same thing.

There is nothing on our side that can explain an increased delay. Not much data synchronisation is occurring, there is no excessive serverside code going on. Other than being on a different machine, the only explanation I can imagine is that a lower amount of Classic regulars are aware of significance of UDP.
