I am completrly fine with charakter wipe. When I played Poe, every new league i would make a new char. And very rarely touch an old one. I don't have time to play this much anyway. And with trading and fair drop rates, I think in MXL the Droprates are fine, you have a new powerhouse in few weeks. I've started my sorc 2 weeks ago, and i am nearly done with all 120+ übers, so i am researching for new builds.

Do u mean that non-ladder char would be wiped?

ALL CHARS WONT BE COMPATIBILE WITH 2.0 , its like a completely new game

Its not like their goal was to cuck your characters, its the changes that are so massive that they will not be compatible.

As I understand all chars will be wiped as the old mechanics are not compatible with new stuff. And I think this is ok and reasonable.

Anyway, have you ever seen a game to make a man lose several years of progress after the patch? Then you should go to the competition and consumer protection agencies and then to the supreme court, they would put them in order quickly. And their translation does not take note of. After bete they demanded 20 euros so they are done.

Many changes in 2.0 are deep-rooted enough that, as a consequence, previous characters will become incompatibile. So we either move forward and improve or we stale in the past and eventually fade; there is not a hard choice there to make if you ask me... moreover players have been informed of the incompatibility situation as soon as the development team saw its inevitability.
Regarding the beta, we didn't demand anything from anybody. As it was done with the 1.8 beta we decided to thank our 3+ months patreon subscribers for their support with access to the 2.0 beta and, since many would have loved to partecipate but hadn't known the criteria in time, under heavy suggestions it has been decided for the first time to give all players the opportunity to instantly access the beta with a higher patreon tier as to not disrespect longer time subscribers (btw it's 20$ not 20€ https://www.patreon.com/medianxl ).
I'm not sure in what world you are living in or how much entitled you have to be to confuse an opportunity with a malevolent intent, but one thing is for sure: you're looking at the wrong project to match your insinuations.

Since you're already here... I just scrolled down a bit on your patreon page. Found out about the upcoming changes to mystic orbs (don't know if it's intended that everyone can read about that even without a patreon account or not).

I usually buy multiple sets of mystic orbs at the same time, applying up to 10 mystic orbs, somtimes even 15 at once. Using the shortcuts it takes less than 5 seconds to put the mystic orbs on the item. It works well and fast for me, because I'm really no good at anything that requires aiming. With the change to how mystic orb are applied, wouldn't that take much longer since you have to move your mouse back and forth 10-15 times as in my example? Will be ability to just cube them still be given or will the new way to apply them be the only one?

Just to be clear to everyone, I fully understand and appreciate the need for a realm wipe to accommodate 2.0. I never suggested otherwise. My question was strictly related to the importing of TSW chars in 1.8 over to SP for a TG fee. I believe this is a feature that was once offered, I'm simply asking if it's possible again.

The SP chars would be in the 1.8 version only, and this version would of course no longer be supported. Having a separate install folder for an older version of median on SP should be possible while still playing 2.0 online, someone more knowledgeable please correct me if this isn't the case.

This is so bad! I play non-ladder just to be ladder, so unfair!

I'll appreciate the opportunity to save 1.8 d2s file from our realm character
