How come you can't migrate from ruthless?

Is it a technical limitation or a choice? If the latter, I wanna know why.

I found ruthless very fun and would love to start out a league with it, but it would be nice to have the option of quitting without losing the character

Hardcore Ruthless characters are not migrated to Standard Ruthless upon death. They are just permanently dead.


So I doubt it's a technical limitation.

As for why, that I can't find a clear answer for but my guess is they like Ruthless to be isolated 100% rather than some sort of path to more standard ways of playing. If I'm reading you right, you want to take your Ruthless-made character into a non-Ruthless mode. In which case, congratulations on making a Ruthless character good enough to take out of Ruthless. I am not sure GGG really thought that people might want to do that, given how much harder Ruthless is meant to be in terms of building a character. I guess they thought anything you could do in Ruthless you'd be able to do much easier in non-Ruthless.

Oh, you got a Realmshaper in Ruthless. Nice find!
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

Ruthless is the parent league. You can migrate from League Ruthless SSF to League Ruthless, but not further to League.

I'm not sure if it is a technical limitation, but it could be given that quest rewards differ in Ruthless, as do vendor recipes and vendor options.
Perhaps a conversion is in the making - Ruthless is still in beta, after all.

Methinks this is the main reason.

Wait until you find out that the 'in' is actually an 'a'.

As an original Closed Beta member, I am well aware of the distinction LOL.
