| Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder | The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. |

If you’re new to Ladder Seasons, you might be scratching your head and wondering what happens to your Shared Stash once the season is over. Here’s Blizzard’s explanation, “Once Ladder Season 8 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group’s Shared Stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season 7 stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season 9 to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season 8. When Ladder Season 9 ends, this withdraw only set of Stash Tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season 8 Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!”
This is the last patch for Diablo 2 Resurrected for 2024, and if we get another in the coming months once another season is about to start, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
