Be careful with new servers

When you click on the Join Game tab, you may notice a warning that appears regarding online servers. Due to the way Valheim works, your character can move between servers with all the loot (inventory) on them. Therefore, if you join a server with cheaters or players who want to spoil your experience, there is a possibility of losing your character. That's why the developer recommends creating a new character to play with other players online or to trust the one you are playing with.

TIP

Make sure you know who you're joining, or at least are prepared to lose things while playing online. Remember that you can always hide your loot in your own world before joining someone else's server
