Getting Your RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server Online

Every RuneScape: Dragonwilds server needs an Owner ID before it will start. The Owner ID is simply your in-game Player ID – it tells the server who the owner is and unlocks the in-game admin tools for you. Until it is filled in, the server will refuse to boot, so this is always the first thing to set up.

Step 1 – Find your Player ID in the game

1. Launch RuneScape: Dragonwilds and open the Settings menu from the main screen.
2. Look at the bottom-left corner of the Settings screen for My Player ID.
3. Click the copy button next to it so the ID is on your clipboard.

Each player has a unique ID, and a server can only have one owner.

Step 2 – Enter it in your server panel

1. From your service page, open Configuration Files (the “Server Settings” editor).
2. Paste your Player ID into the Owner ID field.
3. While you are here you can also set a Default World Name, an Admin Password, and choose whether the server is listed publicly.
4. Click Save.

Step 3 – Start the server

Go back to the service home page and press Start. With a valid Owner ID saved, the server boots and creates your world. Give it a minute, then join from the game’s Worlds screen.

Tip: if the server will not start, the most common cause is a missing or mistyped Owner ID – make sure the value in the panel matches the one shown in-game exactly.
