Valnir Rok is a multiplayer online sandbox survival roleplaying game that just entered Early Access on Steam, giving yet another option in an already crowded genre. Finding a way to set itself apart from other survival games will be paramount to its success. The developers at Germany based encurio seem to be up to the task by adding some life to their sandbox world.

If they want to “set themselves apart” then they have to do better than reskinning the same old survival game mechanics to try and fool the clueless into thinking they’re getting something new.
But hey, Vikings. Make sure you capitalize on that before the trend fades.

I like the quests but I think I am just survival gamed out. I'll keep an eye on it and see if once more features are added if my interest returns.
Are you saying this is different from how mmorpg's all tried to cast their games in the style of World of warcraft once it was established that was the heavy money maker?
Because I don't see it as being any different.

I did CHAT with a few other players (also unreal, but better than being totally alone) and apparently it's not that hard for others, so maybe I just didn't know the trick for dealing with the wolves. OH, I did find out that, while I couldn't kill them or chase them off with a stone knife or axe AND a wooden shield, I could OUTRUN them! Huh? You ever try to outrun a good-sized dog? OH, but try to run after a goat you've already bashed with a stone axe, and the thing leaves you in the dust...

Welcome to the mongrel fold comprised of most humans on the planet.
Oh, and BTW. Viking isn't a race. It's an activity.

...and nobody cares.
Viking is an activity? As in, "I think I am gonna go viking (vikinging?) that store on Friday." Maybe you are thinking of hiking, or maybe biking.
Now, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary....
Definition of race
1 :a breeding stock of animals
2 a :a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock
b :a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics
Although I don't think he was going for definition 1, I am pretty sure Viking falls within definition 2. So which source should I trust, the Merriam-Webster dictionary (defining words for us stupid folk since 1828), or an internet troll?
Speaking of internet trolls, I have another race you may be familiar with....the Jackasses.
Speaking of indignant half-wits who seem to learn their history from Hollywood and Walt Disney, I have another race as well YOU may be familiar with...the fool.
