Hi everyone!
Me and a few friends played Valheim last year. Other friends wanted to try the game but we already spent a lot of time in our world and they didn't really want to join us because of that. I've spent 100+ hours with my character and stopped playing for a while. Now we want to start palying again with our friends that never played the game.

Here comes a dilemma: I'm willing to start a new world with them but they don't want to play with us unless we make a fresh new character. I've spent a lot of time leveling up my character and I'm having a really hard time agreeing to start ALL over. I'm willing to let go of my inventory while keeping my skill levels.

Do any of you guys have any opinion or advice?

I don't see why that would be a problem unless some mini game they plan needs everyone equal. Otherwise they're being intolerant and domineering. Quite the dilemma your in, your friends your response.

In my view if they're good friends I'd say this to their face. If they're just friends be polite, be supportive, I wouldn't know what struggle they may have privately. Do unto others as you wish they would do to you.
