Here you’ll learn how to set up your RuneScape: Dragonwilds server and how you and your fellow players join.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console.
- In the game, search the worlds menu’s “Public” tab for your server’s world name (it’s case-sensitive).
Important settings
You change these values in the Startup variables tab. Changes take effect on the next restart.
- Owner ID (
OWNER_ID) – your player ID. You’ll find it in the game at the bottom of the settings menu, where a button lets you copy it. - World name (
DEFAULT_WORLD_NAME) – the name of the world on first start. This is what your fellow players search for. - Server name (
SERVER_NAME) – shown in the server browser as “Created by”. - World password (
WORLD_PASSWORD) – optional password for joining. - Admin password (
ADMIN_PASSWORD) – opens server management under Settings in the pause menu. - Max. players (
MAX_PLAYERS) – 1 to 6 players.
Good to know
- The server won’t start without a valid Owner ID. You already enter it when ordering (32 letters and digits); you can change it under Startup variables – then restart.
- The portal generates the admin password automatically during setup. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please write it down. You can change it under Startup variables.
- During setup, the server files are downloaded via Steam, so the first start may take a few minutes longer.
