For some reason, if a client creates a server, then the entire (normal) server gets messed up(primarily incredible lag - everything keeps getting undone.) Additionally, there are local effects - chats are mashed together in one line and there can be limitless lines to each chat(instead of the default 3). I haven't tested it very much, but in one case, a LocalScript source in workspace appeared in the chat when (from what I can tell) nobody chatted it. All serverside effects stop immediately once the client with a server disconnects. Another local effect is that either chats are not sent to the server or the Chatted event is messed up(breaking any script builders locally) Screenshot: http://puu.sh/33b7r.jpg Creation of a server(requires 1+) - game:service("NetworkServer") This might have use as an anti-exploit, but I think Roblox should fix this - it can really mess up servers without anyone knowing what is happening.

Yeah, I've noticed it takes a while for things like local scripts to start working properly when testing locally.

It's probably more along the lines of the server trying to parse the incomming information as server packets instead of client packets: Source replication could have the same packet ID as chatting, and so appears to be from nowhere. Odd that it was triggered though, seeing how Source shouldn't be replicating anymore ;P

Oh, it's a Script Builder, so that's probably just the StringValue replicating which isn't as concerning. TL;DR - NetworkServer is treating client packets as server packets and stuff borks. Maybe. If I'm not wrong and making a fool of myself.

pRiblox works like this, but when I have tested with Looah we didn't seem to get serverlag like you are.
