How to Join Your Return to Moria Server (Invite Code & Direct IP)

Joining a Return to Moria dedicated server works a little differently from most games. There is no server list to browse. Instead, you connect either with an invite code or by typing in your server's IP address and port. This guide covers both methods, starting from the main menu.

Before you begin, make sure your server is started on your MintServers panel and has finished booting.

Step 1: Open the Join Screen

1. Launch Return to Moria and click Play.

2. Select the character you want to play with.

3. Click Join other world.

Method A: Join With an Invite Code

The invite code is the quickest way in, and you do not need to type an IP address. Your server writes its invite code into a file called Status.json every time it runs.

Find Your Invite Code

1. Log into your MintServers panel and select your Return to Moria server.
2. Make sure the server is started.
3. Open the Files tab in the left-hand sidebar.
4. Navigate to server, then Moria, then Saved, then Config.
5. Click Status.json to open it.
6. Find the InviteCode line and copy the value. It starts with D-.

Your file will look similar to this:

{
    "Status": "running",
    "InviteCode": "D-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
    "AdvertisedAddressAndPort": "123.45.67.89:25000",
    "Players": "0/8"
}

Enter The Code In-Game

1. On the Join Other World screen, find the Enter Invite Code for Hosted Game or Server section at the top.
2. Paste your invite code into the Enter Code box and click the magnifying glass button next to it.
3. When your server appears, select it to join.

Method B: Join With a Direct IP and Port

If you would rather connect directly, or you want to save the connection details for later, use the Direct Join option. The address you need is in the same Status.json file, on the AdvertisedAddressAndPort line. Copy the whole value, including the colon and the port number.

4. On the Join Other World screen, click Advanced join options.

5. In the Direct Join section, enter your server's IP:PORT. If you have set a server password, enter it in the password field as well.
6. Click Join Server.
