MMORPG

Why isnt this an MMORPG? There is so much potential IMO

Not everything needs to be the same as everything else.

There are plenty of fine MMOs out there for you to choose from, if single-player & limited multiplayer experiences aren't your speed.

An MMO would require dev owned and operated servers which would be very expensive and which would likely require a monthly subscription fee to pay for those servers. This way you can still do some multiplayer, don't have to worry about PUGs and griefers, and keeps the costs down.

The game's platform, with the building and terraforming, would not support a massive multiplayer environment.

Just get a friend to host your server or host one yourself and play with your friends. There, now its mmo without griefers or any other type of bad players. Also makes the game 10 times more fun.

Making it mmo thats open to everyone would only make it worse. Private servers with friends is the best for this game.

No thank you.

We're already running into desync issues with 4 players where one person would have a thunderstorm in the middle of the night while someone else has sunny weather and a gentle breeze blowing...

You think this game could handle a hundred players like that? XD

Anyway this is most likely just a troll jester farm.

A decision to go with MMORPG comes with a lot of trade offs. It simply wouldn't be Valheim - I¨m thinking particularly of the very performance intensive gameplay features, but also how the game is balanced.

For an MMORPG you have to think hard about what you want to accomplish. So you have loads of players (assuming it's one of the rare games that get popular, otherwise the world will be desolate anyway), probably a large proportion of which are going to be trolls/griefers, what are you going to do with them that's fun for all players?

IMO what Valheim 2 could do is to "simply" (famous last words) optimize MP better so you could host a 64 or 128 player server e.g. That would allow the positive part of MMORPGs in a player moderated setting.

Doesnt feel like a proper material to begin with plot-wise. Besides that would need a lot of investing and care 24/7. The studio here is too small, too weak and stingy.

they cant even reach 1.0 after 4 years...

Imagine this was an MMO - you start your game, reach the black forest - and instead of copper deposites you can only find huge holes in the ground. No tin on the shores. You struggle through black forest with flint weapons and troll armor, which you won't be able to upgrade properly, because bronze is missing for the workbench upgrade. And no cauldron, no mead ketill.
Even if you manage to get past the elder and to the swamps, all the crypts would have been opened, no iron left inside and you are left without any gear. So you'll go try to defeat bonemass, without poison resistance mead...

Well, I could go on like this.
THAT is what Valheim as an MMO would be like.

I prefer the game the way it is. Cooperative multiplayer with a few friends, instead of strangers that are specialized in gathering and hoarding all the limited resources that are there.

This.

Look at Fallout. In Fallout 76 you're limited in how many players can be in the same server and you're limited in how much you can build. Even so, players often can't spawn in their camps because other players are there.

Imagine an MMO where we can all build anywhere and everywhere and alter the landscape. It would be a nightmare.
