play other games till an update arrives. even valheim comes to an "end" of sorts depending on personal interrests. there is a point where your base either has everything and more than it ever needs and its just plain done for now. or your base got so big it starts to kill your fps aka instance limits reached.

game progression is over even faster than that.

so yeah. all good things come to an end like the saying goes. thankfully there is more to come for valheim. i also didnt want elden ring to end. yet it did... eventually.

but aslong as more content is comeing players return in a timely manner sooner or later. and valheim still has 2 biomes and 1 minor biome update to arrive yet. and then the 1.0 polish release. so players will return for another 2 years from now regularly probaly.
