How would I go around simulating multiple (50+ or more clients) connecting to a game server I made for testing purposed. I also want to artificially add latency.
Replies are appreciated, thanks.
Simlulating Many Clients
You build a headless client (ideally that runs on UNIX) and start up many copies of it.
You can add latency with tools like "netem."

I have a related problem. I have thought about headless clients too. What is a good approach to writing one, given that the lack of user input will change behaviour? Just test idle behaviour? Test with scripted user input? Test by recording a real session with a user and replay it on multiple headless clients?

Yes, yes, and yes.
