Brookhaven RP private servers let you play the popular Roblox roleplay game in your own controlled world, away from public servers. You can set the time of day, lock the server to friends only, and enjoy a lag-free experience. This guide walks you through everything from creating your first private server to troubleshooting common issues.
What You’ll Need
- A Roblox account (free to create at roblox.com)
- Roblox Player installed on your device (PC, Mac, iOS, Android, or Xbox)
- Robux (Roblox’s virtual currency) to purchase a private server – the price varies but is typically around 100 Robux per month
- Optional: A group if you want a group-owned private server (group creation is free, but owning a group server costs Robux)
Step-by-Step
- Open Brookhaven RP in Roblox. Go to the Brookhaven RP game page on the Roblox website or search for it in the Roblox app. Click the green Play button to launch the game. You’ll join a public server first – that’s fine.
- Open the Private Servers menu. Once in the game, look for the Private Servers button. It’s usually located on the right side of the screen, near the top. It looks like a small icon with a person and a lock, or it may be labeled directly. Click it.
- Click “Create Private Server”. In the Private Servers window, you’ll see a button that says Create Private Server or similar. Click it. A confirmation popup will appear showing the cost (usually 100 Robux for a monthly subscription).
- Confirm the purchase. Review the price and click Buy Now or Confirm. If you don’t have enough Robux, you’ll be prompted to purchase more. Once confirmed, your private server is created instantly.
- Find your private server. After purchase, the Private Servers menu will now list your server. It will have a name like “Brookhaven RP – Private Server (YourUsername)”. Click on it to open its settings.
- Configure your server. In the server settings, you can:
- Rename the server (e.g., “My Hangout”).
- Set who can join: Choose Friends, Friends and Followers, or Invite Only. For a truly private experience, select Invite Only.
- Copy the link to share with friends. The link looks like
roblox.com/games/.../Private-Server?privateServerId=...
- Join your server. Click Join or Play to enter your private server. You’ll load into Brookhaven RP, but now you’re in your own world.
- Invite friends. Share the copied link with friends via chat, Discord, or any other platform. They can click the link to join directly. If you set the server to Friends, your Roblox friends can also join from the game page by clicking the “Private Servers” tab and selecting your server.
- Manage your server. To change settings later, go back to the Private Servers menu in the game. You can edit the name, change who can join, or delete the server (if you want to cancel).
- Cancel when done. If you no longer want the server, go to the Private Servers menu and click Configure or Delete. Deleting stops the monthly renewal. You can also cancel from the Roblox website under Settings > Billing.
Common Mistakes
- Not setting the server to “Invite Only”. If you leave it on “Friends”, any friend can join, which might not be private enough.
- Forgetting to copy the link. If you don’t share the link, friends can’t find your server unless they are on your friends list and the server is set to Friends.
- Buying a server for a different game. Make sure you are on the Brookhaven RP page when you buy. Private servers are game-specific.
- Deleting the server instead of canceling. If you delete the server, you lose all settings and the link. If you just want to stop paying, you can cancel the subscription without deleting. However, deleting also cancels.
- Assuming the server is free. Private servers in Brookhaven RP are not free; they require a Robux subscription.
Tips
- Use a group server for shared ownership. If you create a group, you can buy a private server for that group. Group members can then join, and the server doesn’t disappear if the owner leaves.
- Set a clear server name. Names like “VIP Hangout” help friends identify it.
- Keep the link handy. Save the link in a Discord server or a note so you can share it quickly.
- Check your Robux balance before clicking. The purchase button won’t work if you have insufficient funds, and you’ll be redirected to buy Robux.
- Use the server for testing builds. Private servers are great for trying out house builds or roleplay scenarios without interference.
Troubleshooting
- Can’t find the Private Servers button. The button may be hidden on smaller screens. Try resizing your window or using a PC. Also ensure you’re in the game, not on the game page.
- Purchase failed. Check your Robux balance. If you have enough, try re-logging into Roblox and retrying. Sometimes the transaction needs a refresh.
- Friends can’t join via link. Make sure the link is copied correctly (full URL). Also check that the server is set to “Invite Only” or “Friends” – if it’s “Invite Only”, only people you’ve invited via the link can join. If they still can’t, ask them to open the link in a browser and click “Join”.
- Server not showing up in the game. Refresh the game page or restart Roblox. Sometimes the server list takes a moment to update.
- Server deleted accidentally. If you deleted the server, it’s gone permanently. You’ll need to buy a new one. There’s no undo.
- Lag in private server. Private servers are usually less laggy, but if you experience lag, check your internet connection, reduce graphics settings, and close other apps.
