I got preferred players: 20
Max players 21, so I can let in a mod if needed.
But all my servers are 21 players.
Anyone else got same issue?

Are you sure its not just one of the users friends joining?
Friends can follow eachother even tho I specified a preferred players maximum?!
Preferred Players works as intended. Here’s a little terminology for you:
Preferred Player Count - number of players in a server ROBLOX will matchmake randomly
Maximum Player Count - This minus preferred players = ROBLOX won’t place players by matchmaking, and these slots can only be filled by following a user into the server
Gaah!
I swear this was not so in the beginning. The extra capacity was ONLY for teleporting people into the server.
There has to be a disable for these kinds of activities.
It always worked like this. You have a different use case than for what it was designed.
From what I know:
Preferred players limits how many people will be placed into a server when hitting play with no friends in that same game.
If you hit Play and have friends online in the same place then it will override preferred servers and place you in their server as long as the hard maximum isn’t reached. You don’t have to follow friends. Roblox automagically places you in your friends’ servers.
Perhaps this could go along with the “invisible admin” suggestion. We should get a proper feature request for both “admin/spectator slot” and “spectator/invisible-admin”.

I created a thread:
Hopefully its not too poorly described.
