Valheim - new server?
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2022 3:08 pm
Howdy, all. We've been talking about the possibility of bringing up a new Valheim server some time soon. There have been some patches since we played last, including enable Steam Cloud saves for characters and worlds, some new banners, and fixing bugs like the smelting using too much coal and the server saving corrupt chunks.
Thing is, there *may* be a major content update in the near future, to introduce the "Mistlands" biome (which is currently available as a test build), but there is no date for this currently known, and it has already been delayed for a rather long time. It could be in a week, it could be next year some time.
If we start the server before the Mistlands patch, it may be like what happened with the Frost Cave patch back in March, where the new content generates in places we haven't explored yet. This isn't known though, so there's no guarantee it wouldn't require a server restart.
All that said, we have a simple question: would you like us to bring up a new Valheim server?
We can do so in short order, so we can all get playing, or we can wait until whenever Mistlands comes out. Alternately, if people are bored of this, we don't have to set up a new server at all. Please cast a vote and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
