Multiplayer survival in Ashenfall is evolving—here’s how server hosting works now and what’s on the horizon.
Exploring the wilds of Ashenfall is thrilling, but surviving alongside friends brings a whole new layer of fun. If you’ve been hoping to host your own persistent world in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, you’re not alone. Many players are eager for long-term, stable multiplayer gameplay—and that’s where dedicated server hosting will make a big difference.
Are Dedicated Servers Available in RuneScape: Dragonwilds?
Not just yet. At launch, Dragonwilds relies on peer-to-peer hosting. One player creates a world, and others join that player’s session. Unfortunately, once the host logs off, the game ends for everyone connected.
The good news? Dedicated servers are confirmed as a future feature. Once available, they’ll allow players to run servers independently of who’s online—perfect for keeping worlds live 24/7, running events, or simply avoiding interruptions.
For those looking to host their own RuneScape Dragonwilds server, this update will offer the freedom to play without limits. Whether you’re managing a private world for close friends or opening up your realm to a public player base, dedicated servers will be the go-to solution.

What Client’s Say
I’ve been using BlueFang for a couple years now on and off. Usually just get a server for a month or two when playing a game. Very fast server setup, good interface (including FTP), never a problem with lag, no downtime, and reasonable prices. The few times I reached out to support with questions I had human responses within the hour. You can’t go wrong with these guys.
Outstanding Service and go Above and Beyond if you have problems to get them fixed!
They were able to get custom settings to work where other server providers were not able to do! Joshua is best and he is one that got it to work! Their response and communications are outstanding and always go above and beyond! I got two servers with them currently and recommend.
These guys really are a cut above the other server services I have used in the past. Excellent service, excellent systems, integrated FTP, the whole nine yards. The new standard by which all others will be judged in the future!Side note: Brad was the technician assisting me and was excellent in every regard. Really knows his stuff with servers, and the modding community as a whole.
Will definitely keep bringing my business here. 5 starts our of 5 stars!
Thanks Brad, and all of BlueFang!

Top Notch Customer Support
I’ve tried a LOT of different hosts for 7d2d over the years, but prior to trying out BlueFangSolutions, I had not found any that really lived up to their customer support claims. Their layout may be overwhelming at first to someone used to a simpler control panel, but their Support reps are very helpful in giving you the assistance you need to get things up and running. The price is also pretty competitive. No complaints here.
1000/10 recommend BlueFang!
1000/10 recommend BlueFang!! I dont even know where to start! Their set up was super simple, my server was up and running the same day with little wait time. And their support chat? Let me just say being a first time server owner I felt BAD for the amount of questions and help I needed especially with navigating the server documents for mods and other things, and these guys went above and beyond explaining things and helping me out with everything. Extremely patient and understanding, and willing to make sure I understood how things worked. New or experienced with servers, i cannot recommend them enough!
Stark differente between this and others.
Without naming the other host provider, Craig helped me through all the steps and solved all my doubts, even correcting some of my mistakes according to the server set-up. I can’t speak for the rest of the support team, but he has definitely made us feel the price is worth it.

Seriously, within a few seconds my questions are answered, things fixed when I make mistakes. I love this level of service. I have a few hosted servers form them and I have not a single negative comment about BlueFang, I will use them and recommend them to anyone who needs a game server. It is not only more efficient thean doing it yourself, but safer.
The best of the best
Used this company a lot, and they’ve always gone above and beyond on giving the best possible service. Their servers are great, well priced, and their support is on point. (Major shoutout to Craig, your support on my server has been a life saver!)Recommended to all of my friends and family; if you ever need a game server, these guys are the ultimate go-to!
Several Servers over the last 2 years
We have had several servers with BlueFang including Minecraft, ARK, Life is Feudal, and 7 Days to Die. Tech support has been great with Live Help and Support tickets, they are fast to respond and are good about giving detailed directions on tweaking your server selections. Very happy!
Great Customer Service
