Yeah, you can link steam to your PoE account and have all your micro transactions on steam. Just go to your account management on the PoE site to see how to link them.

Yea I would need a finished hide out. No way Im populating that myself. Will check that site and see how it looks.
Edit: Sadly it had a bunch of MTX required.
Using Hanok Village on the sea at the moment which is small and clean.

Yeah the comment a year ago said chat is cross game, but everything else still transfers over from a purchasing standpoint, ie. if you bought a bunch of shit for the guild, like stash tabs, they will transfer over. Not the items in them, as you pointed out, but all the other stuff.
Honestly, them making MTX cross over is a huge deal for me respecting them as a company. They could have EASILY pretended that you had to start from scratch for that stuff, but now everyone will jump over with very little issue because all their shit is still there. Why not? Unless you hate the mechanics of the game and go back to PoE1, there's no other reason really to not jump to 2.

I think that's a smart move on their part, great PR and player goodwill if nothing else. The thing is there are worthwhile purely business to do it also, while they are obviously going after a new audience with PoE2, they still need their PoE1 playerbase to try it out.
There's 2 things that often plague live service sequels from being more successful than the previous game.
One is character progression, people invest tons of time in a character and don't want to lose it by moving to the sequel. This isn't an issue for PoE, the game has hard resets built in, every 3 months or so there's a new league which resets the economy, character progression etc. So naturally nothing really stops a PoE1 player to move to PoE2 since character progress is resets anyways.
Second is mtx, you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars and don't want to lose your "investment". By making all the mtx being shared between PoE1 and PoE2, there's nothing left that will prevent players from trying PoE2, even you buy stuff for PoE2 like the starter packs and end up not liking the game, you get the mtx in PoE1 so you lose nothing.
They pretty much guaranteed with that move that most if not all of PoE1 players will try PoE2. It's a brilliant business move, that at the same make them totally awesome to the playerbase.
Yes in short terms they leave tons of money on the table as people would buy back stash, and at least a few cosmetics to look cool. In the long term it will pay off.
I saw in a video interview Jonathan saying that they know already by the early access packs sales that they are going to break their record for most concurrent players in the early access which is pretty awesome.

People are going to be more likely to drop money on it when they know that anything they buy will theoretically be good as long as the company exists. If there's a PoE 3 in a decade, you'd have a good feeling that anything you bought will transfer over.
I know for myself, as someone who like I said played the game in beta or at first release, and then didn't touch it again til last year, I absolutely bought some stash tabs and other shit because they said it'd transfer. Even if I had no intention of playing PoE 2.

The $30 EA package also gives you 300 points to spend in their shop. If you were ever going to pick up the game and buy a few stash tabs anyways then the EA is free with $30 in points.

I have like ~500 hours in POE1 and I spent $20 on it total. I happily threw down $100 this time.

If you buy the 30 dollar package (or any package) you get 30 dollars worth of their coins for buying MTXs, stash tabs, etc. All that shit transfers from PoE1 to PoE2.

You can always wait it out to see, they will likely give keys later on if they want more people testing(granted with how much more successful the game is now than it was during PoE1 beta, they might not do that too much) and you can also just wait until there's some feedback on the state of the early access and stuff.
Expect day1(and potentially several days after that) to be a complete shitshow though. GGG is used to releases with large influx of people, but this is going to dwarf any of the PoE1 league several times over, since I'd expect you'll have a lot of the usual league launch numbers+lots of people returning+lots of new players who didn't like poe1 but want to check out poe2. The 30$ acts as a filter to lower the amount of people but it's still going to be a serious amount of people so I wouldn't be too surprised if the game is borderline unplayable for the first week.

Watch the fucking video and decide for yourself. This might be called an "early access" but to me it feels like a full release without the missing 3 acts, which in reality are never really the focus of the game. The focus is getting through that shit ASAP so you can do the real game which is the end game. Yeah, they are also missing some more classes, but if you never knew that, then you would not care anyway. Plenty to play here and mixing and matching the skills and supports, there will be almost endless ways to play those 6 ascendancies.- 1

Think we talked about this in the past, is there any interest in pooling some funds so we can create an foh funded unique with some meme description? Would be cool to design one of the early poe 2 uniques. We can use one of Mr Sox quotes for the description, just some random rant about mcquaid

My key for spending enough previously showed up in my account and I was able to activate it on Steam. No download yet of course.
There is something called an Epic key as well, is that the one for buying the $480 pack? I might still buy that when Christmas bonus money shows up, but does that mean there will be extra keys to give out?
