RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server Hosting

If you're looking for the best RuneScape: Dragonwilds server provider, we recommend you try Haptic. Our servers have quality Ryzen 9 hardware, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support via Discord.

Dedicated Dragonwilds servers hold up to 6 players at once. The game fixes that ceiling; no setting, plan, or memory size raises it, though you can lower it with the Max players setting. Six is a full party of you and five friends in one persistent world.

Friends do not need an address. In the game, friends open Public Worlds and search for the exact world name shown on your server card (it is case-sensitive, and it is the world name, not the server name), then enter the world password if you set one. They can also enter the invite code from your card. The game prints a fresh invite code every time the server starts, and your dashboard always shows the current one.

The dedicated server needs to know who owns the world so you get owner powers in game: kicking, banning, and promoting friends to admin from the Server Management screen. In the game, open Settings, scroll to the bottom, copy your Player ID, and paste it into Your Player ID in your server settings. The dashboard holds Start until it is filled in. Friends you want as admins go in the Admins tab the same way, by their Player ID.

Yes. Each Dragonwilds world is a single .sav file named after the world, found on Windows at %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDragonwilds\Saved\SaveGames. Upload one world at a time from your server card and keep the file name as it is: the server loads the save by name, and your World Name setting is set to match on import. World rules such as difficulty, PvP, and Standard, Custom, or Creative mode travel inside the save.

Yes. Dragonwilds 1.0 supports crossplay across PC (Steam, Epic, and the Jagex Launcher), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. Console players can join a dedicated server but cannot host one, so a Haptic server is how a mixed group plays in one world.

Haptic servers autosave every 20 minutes by default (the game itself uses 5), and you can set anything from 1 to 60 minutes. Stopping the server does not trigger an extra save, so have everyone quit to the menu before you stop. With Wake & Play, an empty server waits for its next autosave before it sleeps. Haptic also takes a backup of your world every time the server stops and once a day, and you can restore any of them with one click.

Pak mods work: upload each mod's .pak, .utoc and .ucas files into the ~mods folder under RSDragonwilds/Content/Paks through the file manager or SFTP and restart. They survive restarts and game updates. Server-side mods such as stack size or carry weight changes work for every player with nothing to install. UE4SS and Lua script mods need Windows and do not run on our Linux servers, and there is no mod browser for Dragonwilds yet, so hand-placed pak mods are the only mod path.

The server must run the same build as the game or it silently disappears from the world browser. Haptic checks Steam every hour, and once a new build is out your server restarts onto it by itself as soon as nobody is playing, never while anyone is on. Until then your server card shows New update available, so you can restart right away instead. Your world and backups stay exactly where they were.

Dragonwilds servers on Haptic start at 3GB, which suits a couple of players, and 5GB is the recommended size for a full 6-player world. You can change memory from the dashboard at any time without moving your world.
