Phase
Phase is a chat service that allows users to communicate with the Terraria server without opening Terraria, by using a web browser. After you have created an in-game account, enter phase.dark-gaming.com (PC) / phasemobile.dark-gaming.com (Mobile) then login to Phase with your in-game account and password. If you want, you can download Phase as a web application so you can use this service faster.
Server
In order to join, please put the IP address (t.dark-gaming.com) in the section where you enter the address, and put 7777 as the port number. Be sure that your version of Terraria is compatible (1.4.4.9 for PC and Mobile.)
Joining issues
Stuck on "Connecting to 158.69.123.128:7777"
If other servers work fine then you might be peer-blocked or the server might be offline. Contact staff on the server discord or make a new topic in #help-support to resolve this.
Stuck on "Checking IP... Complete!"
The specific dimension you are joining might be down. Try using a different port such as 7776 or 7779 instead, and switch to your desired server/dimension with the dimension’s command name listed in /dimensions (such as /items to go to free items). Do not use port 7778 or you will enter Leafos instead.
