Host a LotR: Return to Moria server for your friends
LotR: Return to Moria is on our roadmap, not in the launch catalog yet. Votes from the waitlist decide how fast it ships.

- 4-8 GB
- Default server ports
- 7777

You never forward any of these. The agent connects outward to our relay; the game's ports stay on your machine.
Why host LotR: Return to Moria with Multiplayer Rally
The dedicated server shipped late in the game's life and the official docs are thin, which is exactly the kind of setup pain we absorb. Dig too greedily and too deep, on your own server.
- Mid-weight server: LotR: Return to Moria wants 4-8 GB of free RAM. A normal gaming PC handles it; the app checks before installing.
- Runs the official LotR: Return to Moria server on Windows, Linux. We download it from the publisher and keep the runtime patched.
- Your LotR: Return to Moria world stays set up between sessions. The app handles restarts, updates, and the relay link so the squad can drop in whenever you're online.

We set the ports, the settings, and the restart schedule. You pick the world name and who's allowed in.

You get one address your friends paste into the game, and they're in. Nothing to install on their side, no port forwarding on yours.
LotR: Return to Moria hosting questions
Plan on 4-8 GB of free RAM for a friend-group server. Your PC needs that on top of whatever else it's running; the app checks before installing.
7777 (UDP). With Multiplayer Rally you don't forward any of them: the agent makes an outbound connection to our relay, and your friends connect to the relay address.
Yes, that's the whole point. The agent on your PC makes an outbound connection to our relay, so you never touch your router. Your friends connect to the relay address and the traffic is tunneled to your LotR: Return to Moria server. Nothing is exposed to the open internet.
Yes. Each player needs their own copy of LotR: Return to Moria to join your server. We host the server side; the game itself comes from the store like always.
LotR: Return to Moria is on the roadmap behind the launch catalog. Joining the waitlist and naming it is a vote: demand decides the order we ship recipes.
Your PC is the server, so the world is offline until you turn it back on, then it's right where you left it. The agent restarts LotR: Return to Moria for you automatically. An always-on managed tier on our hardware comes later.
