How much RAM does a Dragonwilds server need?
The rule of thumb from the Jagex server guide: 2 GB base plus 1 GB per player. For a fully occupied server with 6 players that lands you at around 8 GB of RAM. Since the player cap is fixed at 6, the math is pleasantly predictable.
RAM needs by player count
| Players | RAM needed (rule of thumb) |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | ~3–4 GB |
| 3–4 | ~5–6 GB |
| 5–6 | ~7–8 GB |
Note
The formula comes from the official Jagex server guide and is a rule of thumb — real usage varies with build progress and game situation. The live display in the panel always shows the actual demand.
Which RespawnHost package fits?
Dragonwilds servers at RespawnHost start at €12/month with 4 GB RAM:
| Setup | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Duo or small group (1–2 players) | Entry package (4 GB) |
| Full party (up to 6 players) | Bigger package (8 GB) |
Both billing models are available: fixed package (flat monthly price) or Pay-Per-Use (per second, only while the server runs). If your group grows, simply switch packages.
Tip
The 1.0 release on September 15, 2026 brings crossplay and new content — if your party grows to 6 then, upgrade to 8 GB in good time.
Frequently asked questions
Is 4 GB of RAM enough for a Dragonwilds server? For 1–2 players: yes, by the Jagex rule of thumb (2 GB + 1 GB/player) that fits. For a full party of 6, plan for 8 GB.
Can I allow more than 6 players if I book more RAM? No — the 6-player cap is fixed in the game and cannot be raised via configuration; only Jagex can change it. More RAM doesn’t affect it.
What happens when RAM runs short? Typical symptoms are stutters and long loading times. Check usage in the panel and move up to the next package if the load is sustained.
