I won't give you a full guide but in general it's pretty easy:

 

1. Modify your router to forward the ports you use for RO to the computer you are using to run the server software on.

2. Make sure that computer has a fixed IP.

3. Set up IP and correct subnet in the conf files.

4. Tell your friends your external IP or give them an appropriate clientinfo.xml file.

5. ???

6. Profit

Hi neXus,

 

You have two options, either you could:

1. Buy a Host.
2. Host it on your PC.

As a server owner myself, I think option #1 would be the best way. As option #2 ain't good in the long run. Because you'd need to have a fast internet connection and a good rig to handle a lot of players. And also, electricity consumption.

 

If you are asking about how to make your local server go online for your friends to play. Then, you'd need to portforward and change your ips in your login,char,map_athenas.
