Shut down all servers should have an option to teleport players

Serious Issue Found with your game/New Update is ready. You need to shutdown all servers and have everyone rejoin on your new update.

Current flow:

  • Shutdown all servers
  • Hope everyone figures it out and rejoins

Proposed flow:

  • Shutdown all servers
  • Players are teleported to the new version of the place automatically

Currently you can do this by teleporting them multiple times, but that’s just compiling to a list of potential points of failure. I feel like this flow would be appreciated by many developers and players.

Yes! This would be a great way to keep any concurrent players.

It’d be great if this happened with accidental shutdowns too. Instances where Roblox will randomly shutdown a chunk of servers

I feel this would be a great idea but with one modification. Maybe on shutdown it should also prompt a UI to pop up asking if the player wants to be transferred to a new server.

@ScriptOn @Merely already made something that teleport’s players into a new server so you lose less players

He is aware.

What if you go and reserve a server and teleport all the players to it?

that could work, however maybe not depending on the game, lets take trade hangout as an example.
You want to join the bigger servers, and merely wouldn’t want to have all the servers after a so called “restart” to be locked away.

True, that was one disadvantage I saw to it.

thats what Merely’s script does
