In this guide, we will show you how to edit every setting on your ASKA server.
ASKA has two types of settings: some are normal and can be edited freely, while enabling others requires an additional step. This guide covers everything you need to know about ASKA server settings.
Basic Configuration of Your ASKA Server
We've integrated basic ASKA settings into our game panel, allowing you to do basic customization of your server quickly and easily. This covers Server Name, Password, Region, and more. For in-depth gameplay configuration, follow the steps found below.
