Summary
Valheim is a procedurally generated open-world game where you progress through the various RPG systems to grow in strength, Fight Bosses, and explore the world. Valheim servers are a great way to play games with large or small friend groups. Valheim servers, through BisectHosting, come with many benefits, including automated server restarts, custom configuration, and the ability to be online continually without needing a 'host' player. This allows every player on the server to explore at their own pace and is much more convenient.
