Some time ago, ROBLOX was working on servers that can hold a maximum of one hundred players, without too much lag. I am unsure if this is true or if it is a rumor, as I only heard about it from secondary sources. If it was just a false rumor, which there is a chance it is, ROBLOX should actually use this idea. It can sometimes be extremely hard to get in a server with a friend, or to get into a clan raid or training server ten minutes after it starts. Servers are often full, and sometimes I end up waiting up to an hour just to get in a server with a friend. MEGA places aren't used that often for a reason I do not know, but some people still use them. If not many people use MEGA places, not many will use one hundred-player servers. But, a little is better than nothing, right? This would benefit clans, fan clubs, and other groups most of all. On many occasions, a clan raids another clan, or a clan has a training. If the clan is an extremely active clan, like VAK, RAT, TRA, and HiveCore, it is often very hard for an excessive number of players to get in the server to participate in their group's event. Fan clubs and other groups that have meetings and other events would have this same problem, if they're active as a group. One hundred-player servers would not only fix this problem by a large percentage, but it will also reduce the number of servers on a popular game. I am not certain, but I think lots of servers running at once could possibly be a cause of some ROBLOX lag. With more servers, it's also harder on the moderators and admins, as there's a lot more servers to monitor. With less servers, perhaps ROBLOX would be slightly less laggy and more secure. But, with one hundred-player servers also comes a problem. Even if MEGA places were meant to reduce lag but have more players, one hundred-player servers would be meant to do this too. However, in games that have some minor lag, for example, in some games with cars and other moving objects, lots of players using these at the same time would increase lag more than it would decrease. If ROBLOX WAS planning on making these one hundred-player servers several months ago, then what ever happened to them? Why weren't they continued? Why weren't they added? Was it a reason I mentioned here? If not, why? If it was just a discontinued project without a partly legitimate reason, why not try it again? It would be a good update in my opinion, and perhaps if you try again you can come up with a new idea to make it better than before! Fellow ROBLOXians, please post "Approve" or "Disapprove" to show if you approve or disapprove that one hundred-player servers should be added or not. It comes with a few problems and many benefits as said before, while the servers we have now need improvement. As said prior in this post, even though many people do not use MEGA places, some do. Some is better than nothing. Thank you. -C201

Approve. I also have an idea for it. Roblox could allow less bricks in a server with one-hundred players and more in normal and mega servers.

Support, but this should be under the players section of the Mega place configurations.

Thanks for the approval, one hundred-player servers would indeed be really cool.

With this, clans like VAK could have much bigger invasions per server.

Support, except I already tried out a 100 player test server. No exploits happened but it was extremely laggy that your clothes wouldn't load and your hats were just grey. Everyone turned into noobs.

A little of half. As you said in the Forum, "More players increases the lag" That would be a problem with people that have a old computer or a slow PC, That's why I disapprove. For the approve reason, Like you said If you want to get in a game with a friend or trying to raid with your group, The one-hundred-servers would come in handy, and because it would descrease the work for administrators. Thats why I disapprove and aprove. Thank you for your time. detectivefrosty1, Robloxian

I think this would be used more than MEGA places, as well. Mainly clans and clubs would use it. Clans can perform much larger events and meetings with it.

I would approve yet, ROBLOX would have to reduce lag significantly before we could ever dream of having such large servers.
