How to Join Your The Lord of the Rings Return to Moria Server

Return to Moria has no public server browser. You can reach your server in two ways: with the invite code the server prints on startup, or through a direct connection using the IP address and port.

Find connection details

Join with the invite code

The invite code is the easiest way, because your friends need neither the IP address nor the port.

1. Start the server
   Start your server via the dashboard and wait until it has fully booted.

2. Read the invite code
   Open the console in the dashboard. As soon as the server session begins, the server prints the invite code there.

3. Start the game
   Launch Return to Moria and wait for the main menu to load.

4. Open the join menu
   Select the option for joining a world (Join World or Join Other World).

5. Enter the code
   Type the invite code into the search field and confirm. The server is found and you can join.

Connect directly via IP

The direct connection works independently of the invite code and is the most reliable way onto your server.

1. Start the game
   Launch Return to Moria on your PC or console.

2. Open the join menu
   Select Join Other World in the main menu.

3. Open the advanced options
   Open the Advanced Join Options there and switch to the Direct Join section.

4. Enter the server address
   Enter the IP address (or the domain) of your server and the Game Port from the dashboard into the corresponding fields. If a password is set for your server, enter it in the same window.

5. Connect
   Confirm your input with Join Server.

Password protected server

If a password is set for your server, your friends need it both when joining with the invite code and when connecting directly.
