Guild vault transfers are now done and working.
This beta server IS an ironman mode, if you stay off the market. Myself and RistVall are 100% self found, and I'm level 42 and he is like level 52. And that's honestly not a ton of playing the game. Sure, it's not a 30 minute climb, but it's no where near impossible, or even super hard. It takes hours to get to a point where it starts to even remotely feel "hard", and if you're still playing the game then, chances are you semi-enjoy it, which means the difficulty isn't a factor in you quitting (as a new player).
I'm level 42 and can still kill EPs, and many multi-monster encounters, without a lot of difficulty.
Edit: Ha, just found a T9 axe.

This a bug?
Whoops, forgot to turn off "noGirlsAllowed". Lol, jk.
It should be fixed, but requires a restart of the core, which I'll do later.
