Hi guys... Like many of you knows, I'm still playing 1.3.2 (Pre Sigma) but I wish test finally SIGMA. If I download 1.8 version, I can kill goblins in single player? Or goblins are present only on internet ladder?

Also, version 2.0 will have a future wipe on 1.8 characters?

1.8 and previous characters will not be compatibile with 2.0, so yes there will be a wipe.

Incompatible in single player too? So ill need to make new characters and mules? And will it be possible to transfer equipment up to 2.0 with OfflineTools?

Yes you can't do anything with non compatible char, so only new ones will work, hard to say what will happen with offline tool but in the case you transfer something it'll probably corrupt the char or something
What you can do is to create a copy of Median and only update one of them, and keep 1.8 somewhere, 2.0 will still be a fresh start of course, but at least they will not die painfully

Thanks for the explanation. New characters and equipment for them not thanks.

Can you tell me what files to copy to stay at 1.8? It was always MXL.mpq, Fog.dll and Sigma.dll. After upgrading from 1.6.1 to 1.8, I saw that it was downloading some small files. Probably those xxx.dll.

2.0 will be a major version and the last major was sigma's release. Based on the teasers in discord, there will be new content, new skills, etc, so if there's a good time to start fresh and get the regular updates each season, it is now. I can't tell you how to stay at 1.8 though sorry.
