RuneScape Dragonwilds solo and offline? You don’t need Epic to do that

by

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but notice the buzz surrounding RuneScape Dragonwilds, often compared to Valheim and causing quite a stir despite some technical hiccups. Being part of such a cherished franchise only adds to its appeal. It’s no wonder that at its peak, it drew in over 51,000 players (according to SteamDB).

But what about those who prefer their adventures solo? And do you need an Epic account for this game? Let’s dive into these questions today.

RuneScape Dragonwilds solo and offline gameplay explained

Similar to numerous survival games, RuneScape Dragonwilds offers both single-player and multiplayer experiences. Upon your initial playthrough, the game presents you with a choice between an online multiplayer mode or an offline solo mode. If you opt for the solo route, there’s no further action required from you – enjoy playing on your own!

In contrast, numerous individuals find survival games more appealing when played cooperatively. At present, up to 4 players can simultaneously experience the adventure of RuneScape Dragonwilds on peer-to-peer hosted servers (it’s planned to introduce dedicated servers later). If you’re interested in playing with others, it’s mandatory to consent to utilize Epic Online Services.

Although the reference may seem like Epic Games Store, let me clarify that you don’t require this specific account to play multiplayer games with friends (as confirmed by moderators on their official Discord server). Instead, what you actually need is an Epic Online Services account. If you don’t already have one, the game will automatically create one for you when you choose to play online and click “Continue with Epic Games” if asked. However, keep in mind that this step is only necessary if you wish to play online; if you prefer to play solo, then it won’t be a requirement.

No matter what option you select, the game won’t require you to input your account details again. If you wish to alter your Epic connection status, navigate to the ‘Legal’ section within your ‘account settings’ (be aware that this is different from the world settings). Once there, click on ‘Update’ under ‘Epic Account Services’.
