Official sizing formula

Dragonwilds Server Planner

Jagex currently specifies 2 GB plus 1 GB per player, up to six players per server. Use this as the application allocation before adding operating-system and monitoring headroom.

Memory per instance

8 GB

Application memory total

8 GB

UDP ports

7777

The official self-hosting estimate gives 8 GB for six players. Shockbyte's partner plan uses 5 GB for six players based on lower memory use observed in Jagex's live server data. See the hosting-plan explanation.

Setup checklist

  • 64-bit Windows or Linux host
  • Steam dedicated-server App ID 4019830
  • Owner ID copied from in-game Settings
  • Server and default world names
  • Strong admin password
  • Optional world password
  • UDP port 7777 reachable
  • Automatic off-machine save backups
  • Client and server versions matched after updates
  • Logs retained for troubleshooting

The memory figure excludes the operating system and other services. Review the official dedicated-server guide after each major update.
