How do I give a unique name per server?

The game Wings of Fire did this,

Also, how would I get the # of players per server? I tried using a proxy and Roblox API. Wasn’t the best experience for me.

You could use messaging service to share amount of players between servers - datastore works as well but the limits are alot worse.

^ This. And for the names, they probably have a table with a list of random names which they pick randomly and “assign it to that server”.

Something like this:

local randomNames = {
	"Flame",
	"Darkstalker",
	"Coral"
}

local pickRandom = function()
	local Index = math.random(1, #randomNames)
	
	return randomNames[Index]
end

local serverName = pickRandom()
