Hey - I've been playing the last several weeks alternating between a solo world and a small group of (inactive) friends, and am looking for a better group experience. I have a bit of experience hosting game servers like Valheim and Minecraft in the past, and I'd like to host a larger, more engaged group to progress through the game.
I'm looking for a max of ~10 dedicated players who will be able to play consistently over at least the next few weeks, though I'm happy to leave this running as long as there is interest. I'd like to find people who are more interested in exploring and building throughout the world rather than just rushing through bosses/gear; however anyone who can respect other players is welcome.
It will be a dedicated server hosted in NA, starting at 8GB RAM. I expect that to be plenty but if we need to expand, I don't mind doing so. I'd like it to be accessible to vanilla players, however QoL mods that do not add new content, do not give unfair advantages, and do not hurt anyone else's experience are fine. I can share the list I use for this (examples include things like plant everything, better archery, instant drops). I'd likely go with default settings + 1.5x drops, however if anyone has strong feelings about this I'm open to suggestions. I expect to have the server up and running tonight within the next couple hours.
If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. If you are interested in joining, I'll share updates and server details on a Discord server here: https://discord.gg/wqSKfT65
