Why does the server ask for my Player ID?

The dedicated server does not start without the Player ID of its owner. It is at the bottom of the Settings menu in the game. The owner is the only player who can unban others, and you can change the ID later in the Game tab.

How do I keep strangers out?

Set a world password in the wizard or in the Game tab. Players type it when they join; leave it empty and anyone who searches for the world name can get in.

How many players can join?

Six at most, the limit Jagex sets for dedicated servers. Every extra player adds about 1 GB to the memory the server uses.

What happens to the world when nobody is playing?

It keeps running 24/7 on storage that outlives the server process and saves on the timer of the game. Panel backups copy the save folder and can be downloaded or restored if something goes wrong.

Host a RuneScape: Dragonwilds server

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is the co-op survival game from Jagex set on Ashenfall, the forgotten continent where dragons have awoken. It left Early Access with its 1.0 release on 15 September 2026. A dedicated server keeps your world running when the host logs off, so up to six players can gather, build and train their skills on their own schedule. 1up runs the official Linux dedicated server from Jagex, downloaded from Steam and brought to the newest build every time the server starts.

The world lives on its own volume, so every building, chest and skill level survives restarts and updates. The server needs one thing from you: your Dragonwilds Player ID, which makes you its owner. The owner can ban and unban anyone, and nobody else gets admin rights unless you hand out the admin password.

From an empty panel to your first camp

Open the panel, pick RuneScape: Dragonwilds and choose a plan with at least the memory the wizard asks for.
In the game, open Settings, scroll to the very bottom and copy your Player ID with the copy button.
Paste the Player ID into the wizard and set a world password if only your friends should get in.
Press start and follow the console: the first boot downloads about 2 GB, then the world is ready in under a minute.
In the game, open Worlds, go to the Public tab and search for the exact name of your server; capital letters count.

Joining from the game

Players find the world in the Public tab of the Worlds screen by its exact name, the server name you chose when you created it. The Direct tab also takes the address shown on your panel. Every player needs the same game version as the server, so restart the server after a patch to pull the new build.

Rules you can change from the panel

The Game tab holds your Player ID, the world password and the admin password. The world password overrides any password stored in the save; leave it empty for an open world. Changes apply at the next restart, because the server rewrites its settings file while it runs.

How much RAM Dragonwilds needs

Jagex asks for 2 GB plus 1 GB per player. An empty world holds about 1 GB, so the server starts at 4 GB for a small group, and a full group of six is comfortable on 8 GB. The download and the saves fit in 12 GB of disk, with room for the next update.

Running the server as the owner

Dragonwilds has no remote console, so moderation happens in the game. As the owner, open Pause, Settings, Server Management to ban or unban any player, online or not. Anyone who types the admin password there becomes an admin who can ban players who are online but cannot unban them. The admin password starts as a random secret nobody sees; set your own in the Game tab only if you want to share it.

If something goes wrong

If the console says the Player ID is missing, paste it in the Game tab and start again. A world missing from the Public tab usually means the name was typed with other capital letters, or the game and the server are on different versions; restart the server after a patch. The server saves the world on its own timer and not when it stops, so give it a few minutes after a big build before you stop it.

Questions about Dragonwilds servers

Yes. The Free plan asks for no card, and the panel shows what it includes before you create the server. To keep it up 24/7, Starter and the plans above it keep it running. On Free this game runs with the hourglass at ×2: your 3 h a day are 1 h 30 min of play.
