Posted on Monday January 13, 2025

Game: Valheim
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)

Valheim is an action/adventure/exploration/survival/crafting game based in Norse mythology and Viking culture. We have changed options on the server to make it much easier to progress and keep engaged in the game without being frustrated by the difficulty.

You can buy it here:https://store.steampowered.com/app/892970/Valheim/($20)

We have a private server that currently can host up to 20 players although we could test higher than that in the future if we have more than 20 who want to play. To get to the server browser, click Start Game and then you must first create a character or choose a character you already created and click Start. At the New World window, click Cancel and use the Join World tab of the remaining window on the left side of the screen. Click the Community tab and then at the Favorites tab click the Add Server button at the bottom. Use 50.32.53.84:2456 for the IP:port. You should see [OSF] Valheim show up in your favorites, and as long as you do not delete it, it should stay there for the future when it is running. Click the Connect button and enter the password, foliage.

We will meet on the Community Night Discord channel.

7 Days to Die is a zombie apocalypse survival game with some crafting/building, similar to The Forest. We will have a server running for it on community nights. The name of our server is [OSF] Die in the Dell and can be found by searching the in-game server browser for [OSF] or by adding the IP (50.32.53.84:26900) manually. Do not use the external STEAM server browser to join the server as it does not work properly.

You can buy 7 Days to Die for $45 and find more information about it here:https://store.steampowered.com/app/251570/7_Days_to_Die/

Although there is in-game voice communication, we will also meet in a Discord Game Lobby and use that instead.

SoT G&G Community Night, Sunday January 5 @ 9:00 PM Eastern
Posted on Saturday January 04, 2025

Game: Sea of Thieves Gold & Glory
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)

Last chance at Gold & Glory this Sunday! Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One action/adventure game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. We will make a attempts to match on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose. In order to maximize our odds of getting more than one ship on the same server, please download the Fleet Creator andWindscribeVPN client, sign up for a free account with both, and have them installed and ready to use for these nights. Fleet Creator allows us to see if we connected to the same server easier. Our private lobby uses this code: xKeYI6pWPPdwAV18. Windscribe aids in getting us on the same network and is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.

Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.
