Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what this update means for server operators and communities.<\/p>\n<h2>Dedicated Servers Are Here<\/h2>\n<p>The headline feature for the community: Jagex has officially launched dedicated server support for RuneScape: Dragonwilds. This was the most requested feature since the game&#8217;s Early Access launch in April 2025, and 0.11 delivers it with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Free dedicated server application via Steam (App ID: 4019830)<\/li>\n<li>Support for Windows and Linux<\/li>\n<li>Up to 6 concurrent players (expanded from the previous 4-player co-op limit)<\/li>\n<li>Full server browser integration<\/li>\n<li>Owner\/Admin\/User permission system<\/li>\n<li>Persistent worlds with .sav file management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Dowdun Reach \u2014 New Endgame Region<\/h2>\n<p>The new Dowdun Reach region adds significant endgame content to Ashenfall. For server communities, this means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New resources and crafting materials exclusive to the region<\/li>\n<li>Higher-level enemies and encounters<\/li>\n<li>New quests and exploration objectives<\/li>\n<li>Extended playtime for groups who had exhausted existing content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This makes dedicated servers even more valuable \u2014 with Dowdun Reach, there&#8217;s substantially more content to progress through as a group.<\/p>\n<h2>Player Cap Increase to 6<\/h2>\n<p>Update 0.11 bumped the maximum player count from 4 to 6 on dedicated servers. Jagex has stated they&#8217;re &#8220;hoping to iterate&#8221; on this number further, so future updates may increase it again. For now, 6 players allows for more diverse group compositions \u2014 you can have specialists in different skills working together more effectively.<\/p>\n<h2>Server RAM Scaling<\/h2>\n<p>Jagex published clear RAM requirements with the update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2GB base + 1GB per connected player<\/li>\n<li>Full 6-player server needs approximately 8GB RAM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is relatively modest compared to other survival games, making Dragonwilds servers affordable to host.<\/p>\n<h2>Two Server Types<\/h2>\n<p>0.11 introduced two distinct server types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vanilla servers<\/strong> \u2014 Unmodifiable, ensuring fair and consistent gameplay<\/li>\n<li><strong>Moddable servers<\/strong> \u2014 Support customization via the UE4SS modding framework<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This lets competitive communities play on even footing while creative groups can experiment with mods from Nexus Mods.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next<\/h2>\n<p>Jagex continues to develop Dragonwilds toward its full 1.0 release (expected 2026). The dedicated server infrastructure is likely to improve with future updates, potentially including higher player caps, more admin tools, and official mod support through Steam Workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to host? <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/runescape-dragonwilds-server-hosting\">Get a Dragonwilds server at XGamingServer<\/a> starting from $7\/month.
