Yes! I had the exact same idea! A really cool thing to try would be updating. As a server shuts down when the player leaves, you would eventually have all the servers at the same version and there would be no need to shutdown the game.

Would it be possible to only replicate users in a certain area (f.e. inside of a 10x10 square), rather than replicating a whole server.
Also adding on to that, would it also be possible to duplicate administartive commands working on those servers, for example you type :m test on one server, would that replicate to the rest of them?
I wouldn’t recommend using this as the method relied on the old MessagingService limitations, to which the current one is limited and does not scale well for large numbers of players.

With the new limitations, we’re restricted to ~1 message every 3 seconds, as apposed to ~1 message every 0.3 seconds when I first wrote the article. It’s absolutely still possible, it just means there will be a more visible delay.
Instead of recording and sending data of every player in the server, simply do the same but for players located within a restricted area (i.e. using functions such as FindPartsInRegion3, GetTouchingParts or DistanceFromCharacter). I’ll probably have a go at this myself when I have some time in the near future.
I’m actually setting up a global system to do exactly that for HD Admin, so feel free to use the source code from that once it’s released.

If you complete it with HD Admin - try to use Kohls (Infinite) as it is also one of the larger administrative command modules.
I might make this but with an external server to get much better speed and more messages/sec. Keep an eye out
