Don't start new servers prematurely for small games

For a game with thirty thousand players in it, sure, it makes sense to put people in regionally separated servers for latency purposes. For my game that I published five minutes ago that doesn’t have anybody in it, when I join and tell somebody else to join, I would prefer they weren’t placed in a brand new room that I’m not waiting in.

Does roblox actually have regional servers yet? I thought this was just a bug

Check if you set the preferred player count to 1 in Place settings.
If it is, then people who press the play button will make a new server but people who join you will join your server.
So yea, just check that out.

No it isn’t that. From experience the OP’s description of the issue being related to regions seems pretty accurate.
