Who's gonna stay in Early Access with me?

This might be a long post so bare with me. *(It isn't)*

There seems to already be a consensus that Early Access Leagues will die as soon as release. For that, I am worried, albeit the preconceived notion that 99% of players will leave off to new leagues/seasons, I'll be staying in Early Access League and hope economy will still be stable going for years to come.

Anyway, the purpose of my post is to know if who will be staying in Early Access as well, very likely it's gonna be one of those retired no-lifer gamers who have jobs or just want to play the game casually.

I've always wanted to play poe1 but was intimidated with its player base, mechanics and etc. Even poe2 is a bit too much for little old me but I can still comprehend it, I was hoping poe2 would be a more casual friendly version of the "exile-like" genre, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

So who's gonna stay in Early Access with me?

I play again once the claws are out hehe.

I dunno bro, this whole seperate dedicated server just for EA players seems weird to me. I mean, did they ever do that in poe 1 in its beginning? Ive only known of standard or league, hardcore, ssf. Why not just put us all in standard upon release with our loot, gear, etc being Non tradable. And our toons at lvl 1.

I think they are just using bad phrasing and they are referring to EA league as the eventual Standard league it will become once a league releases.

Don't you wanna try new stuff devs got cooking?

They definitely are.
I don't think that there will be a "EA League" once the game is fully released. What they refer to as "EA League" is just the standard league in EA, where all the characters from the different EA Leagues will be transferred to once the individual league is finished.

As far as I know they have not stated what will happen to EA Standard League on full release. I guess they'll either transfer all characters from EA Standard to Release Standard, or (Which I think is way more likely) they'll wipe all EA Standard characters to create a fresh Standard League for full release.

That is correct, ignore the people replying to my comment. They think our toons will be in standard after release.

If Claws were coming, they wouldn't have turned HoWA into a pair of gloves. :(
