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)
