How to Connect to Your Return to Moria Server

Return to Moria dedicated servers are found by world name rather than by address. The world name in your config is exactly what players search for, so it is the thing to share.

Find your details

Open your server at https://panel.playnhost.com. The overview shows the IP and the assigned port, which you need for troubleshooting even though players usually search by name.

Join the server

1. Launch The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.
2. Choose to join a game, then browse the available sessions.
3. Search for the world name set in MoriaServerConfig.ini under the world section.
4. Select it and join, entering the password if one is set.

What to give your friends

The exact world name, spelled the same way, and the password if there is one. A distinctive name saves everyone a lot of scrolling, so avoid something generic.

The first start takes a while

A new server generates the world before the session is advertised. Watch the panel console rather than the session list.

If you cannot find or join the server

• Check the panel console. The server logs the world loading and reports when it is ready.
• Confirm the world name in the config matches what you are searching for, including capitalisation.
• A version mismatch after a game update hides the session from updated clients. Restart the server so it pulls the new build.
• If the session appears but the join is refused, a password is set that has not been shared.
