Good to know

  • Changes made in Settings, then Game Settings take effect after you restart the server. Difficulty, death penalty and raid frequency are not panel settings: an Admin or Owner changes them in game with the difficulty, deathpenalty and raids commands. Until you are an Admin or Owner you cannot change them, so ask support to make you Owner first (the admin guide explains how).
  • The panel saves a value when you leave its field. If the value is not allowed, the panel tells you and keeps the old one.
  • Passwords and tokens are not listed with a value. Each server starts with one set for you, or with none, as the row says. Set a password before you invite players if you want a private server.
  • To open the page, follow How to set up your Necesse server or How to change your server settings.
