How to Advertise Your OpenRCT2 Server on the Master List

Visibility is key to growing your theme park community. By enabling the Advertise Server setting, your OpenRCT2 server will be listed on the global master server list, allowing players from around the world to find and join your park easily. If you prefer to stay private and only allow manual connections, you can disable this feature just as quickly. Follow the steps below to manage your server’s visibility on the GGServers panel.

Step 1: Access the Panel

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel and select your OpenRCT2 server. This is where you control how your server interacts with the global OpenRCT2 community.

Step 2: Stop Your Server

To update your server’s advertising status, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop button on the main dashboard. Wait for the status indicator to confirm the server is “Offline” before moving to the settings.

Stop The Server
Always stop your server before changing its public visibility settings.

Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings

On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Server Settings button. This menu contains the configuration options for your OpenRCT2 instance’s network and identity.

Step 4: Open General Settings

Within the settings menu, select the General Settings tab. This section manages core world rules and how your server is broadcasted to the public.

Step 5: Change the “Advertise Server” Setting

Locate the box labeled Advertise Server. When set to “true,” your park will appear in the master server list for all players. If set to “false,” your server will be hidden, and players must connect manually using your IP and Port. The GGServers panel will automatically save your choice as soon as you flip the switch.

Your server’s visibility has been updated! Return to the main dashboard and click Start. Your OpenRCT2 server will now begin broadcasting to the master list (if enabled) or remain private for manual entry.
