Simply to help me understand and satisfy my curiosity. There is a game that has millions of players hosted on many servers. My question is: are players assigned to a server and forever log on to that server or is it random?

Or doesn't it work like that at all?

Depends a lot on the game in particular. Any particular game in mind?

it would be random, depending on overload to a server, your question asks a question, why are you interested.
