How does Roblox determine which server to put a player on?

Hello, I was wondering how does the Roblox server algorithm chooses which server players join? Is it based on how many players are on the server or is it just completely random?

You can actually choose how the servers are filled, via configuring your place. (Configure your place → Access → Server Fill.)

It is decided on basis of that which server is laggy and friend of server. I think.

I believe it takes a number of things into consideration:

  • Users friends in servers
  • A users IP based location
  • Server performance
  • Users blocked people
  • Also depending on as @Gavin42307 mentioned, on the server settings, for the first mode, it will try to pick servers where there are a few spots left, for friends to join. The second option being that it simply tries to fill up the server as much as possible.
