If you need help transfering this way, I'll be glad to. You can put whatever you want to trade each other (agreed to) then I'll change passwords, email each to verify what's in both accounts (to make sure there's no funny business). Once both agree to the items in the accounts, I'll email back the new, longer and random passwords.
I do this a lot for people wanting to do hardcore to softcore trades.
If you need a little proof of my honesty, go to the #d2jsp irc channel.
Yell if you need help, I'm usually on *warpigger98 on USEAST HC rushing or helping with stat quests.
