pretty sure it's an unintended byproduct of valhalla being part of the world server, rather than being a completely separate entity

what's more retarded is that you can move characters from either world to either valhalla

I wanted to do trade with a friend, we tried 5 separate accounts with alts until we meet in the same valhalla instance. It's ridiculous

If you log out of your account (not switch character, log out), when you log in and click "new character", you end up in W16 valhalla.
You can only access W16.1 valhalla if you switch character from a W16.1 character and then click "new character"

Latest patch changed the behaviour. But 2 valhallas is still stupid

Disregard all my previous Valhalla ideas, fix the basics first.
Haven and Hearth Wiki (Maintained by volunteers - test/verify when practical. Forum thread

Basic Claim Safety (And what you’re doing wrong
TL:;DR: Build a Palisade with only Visitor gates.)

Combat Guide (Overview, PVE, PVP) (Includes how to escape/minimize risk of getting killed.)

Bump.

Valhalla shouldn't even have any connection to the worlds at this point, there is just no point in it whatsoever anymore and it just creates problems.

Just make Valhalla it's own thing.
