How to Host Wurm Unlimited Server

Welcome, Dev! Are you looking to host your own Wurm Unlimited server? You’ve come to the right place. We’ll guide you through the process step-by-step so you can have your very own server up and running in no time. Sit back, relax, and let’s get started!

System Requirements

Before we dive in, let’s make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for hosting a Wurm Unlimited server. Here’s what you’ll need:

Component	Minimum Requirement
Operating System	Windows 7 or higher, or Linux
Processor	2.0 GHz or higher
RAM	4 GB or higher
Storage	10 GB free space

If you meet these requirements, you’re good to go. Let’s move on to the next step.

Step 1: Download and Install the Server Files

The first step is to download the server files from the official Wurm Unlimited website. Once you’ve downloaded the files, extract them to a new folder on your computer. This will be your server folder.

Next, open up the folder and run the server_start.bat file. This will start the server for the first time, but it won’t be accessible to anyone yet. Let’s change that in the next step.

Step 2: Configure Your Server Settings

Now that your server is up and running, it’s time to configure the settings. Open up the server console and type in the following command:

config.bat

This will bring up a configuration window where you can set your server name, server description, and other settings. Make sure to save your changes when you’re done.

Next, you’ll need to forward your ports so that your server is accessible to the public. By default, Wurm Unlimited uses port 3724. You’ll need to forward this port in your router’s settings so that players can connect to your server.

Finally, you can customize your server’s settings even further by editing the server.properties file in your server folder. Here, you can adjust things like player limits, skill gains, and other gameplay settings.

Step 3: Invite Your Friends to Play

With your server up and running, it’s time to invite your friends to play. Simply give them your server’s IP address and port number, and they’ll be able to connect using the Wurm Unlimited client.

To make things even easier, you can use the addplayer.bat command in your server console to add players to your server directly. Just type in their username and they’ll be able to join your server immediately.
