Amazing. Even though I will probably not use it, but when it’s rolled out, it will be a great thing to have!

itsDenDenn · March 21, 2019, 1:36pm

This is awesome!
Been waiting for this since ages, so many possibilities!

Pyrotenics · March 21, 2019, 1:51pm

yeeee boi, lets have some fun with this.

sleitnick · March 21, 2019, 1:54pm

I can do proper matchmaking now! (kind of)

Draykon01 · March 21, 2019, 1:55pm

Already thinking of how many things you can do with this, pretty much an endless list! Thanks again, roblox team.

wravager · March 21, 2019, 2:00pm

You can check out my findings here for help Cross-Server Matchmaking Module

SpectroDragon · March 21, 2019, 2:00pm

Pretty interesting, been waiting for this for a long time now!

xelph_rs · March 21, 2019, 2:09pm

I have been anticipating this for so long. I am so excited at the moment.

Couldn’t you filter it before Publishing it? Since the player is in the server they send the message from. Other servers just get the already filtered text

Zivao · March 21, 2019, 3:53pm

This has been a needed feature, this will be very useful!

Omnaestream · March 21, 2019, 4:07pm

and when will you introduce an api to do all this stuff externally, for example, via some webapi

LordMerc · March 21, 2019, 4:38pm

That’s not really needed as you can already communicate to a server via your own hosted server. There’s not really a need to have an external api for this.

Omnaestream · March 21, 2019, 5:17pm

that is indeed true but it’d be great if you could do this without having to drain your max http requests per minute and instantaneously

buildthomas · March 21, 2019, 5:30pm

You should file a separate feature request thread using the post approval procedure (see rules for info) with detailed description and use cases so they can understand why you want that.

Quenty · March 21, 2019, 5:39pm

Doesn’t Roblox’s shutdown all servers button do this?

Seranok · March 21, 2019, 5:44pm

Yes, but I do not recommend clicking that button for a popular game unless absolutely necessary.

farizarps · March 21, 2019, 5:47pm

Can you please explain why?

LordMerc · March 21, 2019, 5:55pm

He’s already explained it? Massive amount of people rejoining would kill the datastores if the game uses it. Also presuming it’ll put stress on the server to have to deal with the massive rejoin.

NewFissy · March 21, 2019, 6:33pm

From personal experience using the shutdown button on Adopt Me, it appears to shutdown servers gradually over time instead of all at once. So I’m also curious why it’s recommended not to use that button besides it being disruptive for players

LowPolys · March 21, 2019, 7:13pm

This is amazing, I can’t wait to see all the implementations of this.
