How does legacy work?

When I ask this, I mean technically.

Will our soon-to-be-legacy 0.9.7 characters forever have 0.9.7 mechanics? Will they always have only two acts, no Act II boss, and have the ability to eternally decimate slews of pots in the Ancient Pyramid?

Also, can new legacy characters be created or will we be limited to only characters migrated to legacy?

Finally, are names unique across all leagues or can we have, for example, a Gorb in Legacy and Gorb in the new Default.

Thanks!
No they stay up to date, they just get moved to the legacy league. Which if you look right now is a league you can currently make characters on.

Basically the reason why they do this is because they plan to change item drops. So items that exist now, may no longer be available once the next patch drops. So they clear the normal leagues (default and hardcore) so that a fresh new economy can form.

If a name is taken in one league, it can't be used in other leagues.
