So welcome aboard first of all!

Valheim is a great game for a mature gamer such as ourselves. I don't have the reflexes I once had for sure but if you are patient and observant you can take ti all the way as a solo player. There are plenty of guide videos on You tube if you do get stuck as a solo.

Play in your own computer for a while o get the feel of it. Then if you choose look for a group hosting a server, the world you play on on your own machine is stored as a database file which can be moved from local machine to a server but I so get that may be something you don't want to fiddle with (as of yet! - its not required unless you hate the idea of a restart)

Make sure you mention that 9 out of 10 of any random people game they join will be rife with cheater trolls who will gladly kill you and take your stuff even if it has no value to them.
