    It is not realistic.

    I can't speak for Portalarium, but this is a problem a number of games have. The reason is that it's much less resource intensive to make all objects of one type be clones of each other. Doing that means they can all be updated as a single object, rather then individually. Better performance, but you get the synchronicity you're seeing.

    I want to say this was brought up before and it was agreed an issue to be fixed, but probably not priority.

    this sort of thing has been randomized before after having attention drawn to it. might not be hard.
