How much RAM does a Dragonwilds server need?
The short answer, then the detail.
Updated 2026-09-20
A Dragonwilds dedicated server needs 2 GB of RAM plus 1 GB for every connected player. A full 6-player world needs 8 GB. That figure comes straight from Jagex's own dedicated-server guide and hasn't changed with the 1.0 launch.
RAM by player count
| Players | RAM needed |
|---|---|
| 1 | 3 GB |
| 2 | 4 GB |
| 3 | 5 GB |
| 4 | 6 GB |
| 5 | 7 GB |
| 6 | 8 GB |
That is a floor, not a comfortable number to run right at. Leave headroom for the operating system itself, for mods if you run any, and for the update process, which briefly needs extra memory while it installs a new build alongside the old one.
CPU, storage and bandwidth
Dragonwilds doesn't publish a formal CPU figure the way it does for RAM, but a dedicated server is CPU-bound during world generation and combat-heavy moments, so more cores handle a full party better than a single fast one alone. Budget a few gigabytes of disk for the install plus your save files and backups, and expect modest bandwidth — the game protocol is built for reasonable connections, not raw throughput. Networking itself needs exactly one UDP port open (7777 by default), nothing more.
What our plans give you
| Plan | vCPU | RAM | Player cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hearth | 4 | 8 GB | 6 |
| Keep | 6 | 12 GB | 10 |
| Stronghold | 8 | 24 GB | 20 |
Every tier gives you meaningfully more than the RAM floor for its player cap, which is headroom, not a guarantee — see the pricing page for what each plan costs, or deploy one without sizing a machine yourself at all.
