RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server Hosting

The official dedicated server supports up to 6 simultaneous players - regular in-game host sessions are capped at 4. Note: at dedicated server launch, Jagex stated that enemy damage and health scaling initially caps at 4 players; they continue to iterate on this.

Jagex recommends 2 GB baseline plus 1 GB per player. That adds up to 8 GB for a full 6-player group. We recommend the Wanderer Party package (8 GB) for most groups. More RAM does not raise the player limit in Dragonwilds right now, but it helps with larger bases and backups.

Yes. That is the core advantage over the peer-to-peer variant in the game. The server stays online as long as your credit lasts. You can stop it from the web interface at any time to save.

With pay-per-use, the entry package Ashenfall Scout (4 GB RAM) costs around 0.0479 € per hour - running 24/7 that would be about 34.97 €/month. For always-on worlds, the fixed plans are cheaper: 4 GB from 12.00 €/month, Wanderer Party (8 GB) from 22.79 €/month, with 10-20% off on 90-360 day terms.

Yes, every player needs the Early Access game on Steam ($29.99 / €29.99). The server itself is a separate, free Steam tool (App ID 4019830), which we install automatically for you.

Dragonwilds is currently Steam-exclusive on PC. Console versions for PlayStation and Xbox are announced for September 15, 2026 with update 0.13 "Rage of Kuldra". The dedicated server itself runs on 64-bit Windows or Linux - we take care of the OS.

UDP 7777 by default (game port); a second instance on the same machine uses 7778 as the secondary port. The port can be changed via the -port= launch parameter. Everything is preconfigured on our side, no router port forwarding needed.

Dragonwilds knows three roles: Owner (can ban/unban anyone), Admin (can ban online players) and regular players. You set the Owner ID and admin password in the web interface via DedicatedServer.ini.

Yes. Dragonwilds loads the most recent .sav file from the Saved/Savegames folder on startup. You can upload your own savegames via SFTP and the server will use them on the next start.

As soon as Jagex ships a new build, our server auto-updates on the next restart. Important: client and server must be on the same version or the game refuses to connect.

There is no official mod support right now - the 2026 roadmap focuses on new regions, skills and the console release. Should Jagex ship mod support later, we will of course support it on our servers as well.

Yes. You can configure manual or automatic backups in the web interface. Especially recommended before large Early Access updates.

We operate locations in Germany and in the USA (Salt Lake City). You pick the location when creating the server.

No, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a pure co-op survival game (PvE). The focus is on exploring, building and fighting the dragons together.

In-game via the Public tab of the Worlds screen: search for the world name you set in the config. Careful: the search is case sensitive. Set a WorldPassword to keep the server private.

Dragonwilds is Early Access, so patches come in regularly. Official dedicated servers have been available since update 0.11 (March 31, 2026). Our hardware is built for fast updates.

Yes, any time. Changes to DedicatedServer.ini take effect on the next server restart. Per Jagex, changes made while the server runs are lost - at RespawnHost they are automatically persisted on restart.

The server stops automatically. Your world is preserved completely and will be ready to launch again right after the next top-up.

Yes. Your credit is not tied to Dragonwilds. You can stop the Dragonwilds server at any time and spin up a Valheim or Minecraft server instead.

Jagex provides the dedicated server client and maintains documentation on the official wiki. For operational and infrastructure questions you are in the right place with us - game content support belongs to Jagex.
