Gameserver Launch - IronClassic Season 1…Crossplay!?

IronClassic is making a come back, in Season form! IronClassic is the Iron Realms’ Vanilla-like Valheim Gameserver. It was originally intended for PC only because we wanted to have some Quality of Life mods such as some better wards, farming options, etc.

It didn’t quite gain the traction we had hoped and died out fairly quickly. With some of the newer Iron Gate additions replacing some of the mods we had originally sought, its time to launch the Iron Realms’ first CROSSPLAY SERVER.

IronClassic Season 1, and all subsequent Seasons, will be fully compatible with Xbox and PC players with NO MODS REQUIRED. There will be an optional modpack that PC players can download which will improve multiplayer performance, allow for a one click quick join from the main menu, etc. However, it is not required to login or play on IronClassic.

But what will be different about IronClassic and its seasons, you ask? Before we made any executive decisions, we put it to a vote in the Iron Realms Discord Community.

The poll resulted in the following server conditions with the highest votes;

Conditions - No Map/Difficulty Increased/Creative (Tied)

Length - 3 Months long.

For the first season, no map and harder difficulty makes sense combined. Perhaps a creative season will be next? IronClassic Season 1 which launches 1 November 2024 will be NO MAP and more difficult than Vanilla. You can see the world modifiers here;

Additionally, I think it would be epic to have weekly, or at least incremental, Community Events on IronClassic as well. This is something that I’d like to set as a goal for our Admin Team. Its difficult to commit to, especially during the holiday season, IronHeim Re-launch, etc…either way - we’ll do our best to create engaging and dynamic events!

For this specific server launch, we will not be doing an Early Access phase. We wanted to get the server out on 1 November 2024 to the public, which is the Friday after the Bog Witch update, so all of our members can check out the new content on their home server.

We hope to see you in IronClasic, or one of our other gameservers!
