Return to Moria: Connecting to and setting up your server

How to connect to your Return to Moria server and set the name, password and difficulty.

Here you'll learn how to connect to your server for The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

Connecting

  1. Start the server on the server page with Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. In the game, connect via the multiplayer menu or direct connect using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.
  4. Enter the server password if you have set one.

Important settings

  • Server name (SRV_NAME) – the displayed name.
  • Server password (SRV_PW) – password for the session.
  • World difficulty (WORLD_DIFF) – e.g. normal.
  • Automatic update (AUTO_UPDATE) – checks for updates on start.

You'll find further settings in the Files tab in MoriaServerConfig.ini.

Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • On first start, the server downloads the game files. This can take a few minutes – please don't interrupt it.
