# How to Change the Max Players on a Windrose Server

Adjust the max player count for your Windrose server with this quick walkthrough covering where to find the setting.

In this guide we will be covering how you can change the max player amount on your Windrose server. This may be done just to have a higher number of player slots displayed or you legitimately want to allow more players to join. It’s worth noting that the more players that join the more server performance could be impacted.

## Changing the Max Players

1. Open your [Dashboard](https://app.nodecraft.com/dashboard).
2. Locate your Windrose server and click on the **Panel **button.
3. From the sidebar, navigate to the **Game Settings** tab.

4. Locate the player limit setting near the bottom of the page.

5. You can drag the slider to increase or decrease the total number of potential players you'd want to have as your server's limit.
6. Once your desired number has been set, click on **Submit.**

7. **Start** your server.

## Conclusion

Your Windrose server’s max player limit has now been updated. Keep in mind that raising the player count can put more strain on your server, especially if all available slots are filled at once, so it is a good idea to choose a limit that matches the experience and performance you want.
