Find Valheim companions for a world that lasts

It's a game of evenings around the fire: you come back from a swamp expedition, unload the iron, fix the roof, plan the next boss. That loop works when the group moves forward roughly together — not when one player has already killed Yagluth while the others are discovering the Black Forest.

Say where you are in the progression and what you enjoy most: exploring, building, farming, fighting. The best Valheim groups mix those profiles instead of looking for four clones.

A player-hosted world only exists while its host is online — perfect for a duo with synchronised schedules, frustrating for a group with varied ones. A dedicated server stays open around the clock: everyone progresses a little when they can, and shared evenings are for expeditions and bosses.

Zlobby's Valheim server directory lists dedicated servers with live measured status. And if you host your own, you can list it for free.

Create a Lobby describing the world, its progression, the play evenings and the open spots. Applications let you choose who joins a world where everything is shared — in a game where a stranger can empty the chests, choosing your companions isn't a luxury.

Create your Zlobby account — free, adults-only — and describe the world you want to build.

Valheim attracts many players who are precisely escaping competition: say so upfront if your group plays relaxed, tolerates weeks-long breaks or uses comfort mods. Conversely, a group aiming for no-death or hardcore runs should say it from the start. Both styles are legitimate; mixing them unknowingly ruins both.
