New League and Characters

I was wondering, if the new league is still classed as Early Access? As in, when the league finishes, does my new character go back into the "Early Access" or does it go to the "Standard" league?

Reason I ask is that when I created a new Huntress, I noticed my stash/guild stash were both empty. Can some explain how it works, as I've never really played POE1


Cheers!

It's a new league, when it's over, your stuff will get transferred over to "Standard" where your old characters are at right now.

Okay cool. But do we lose everything in relation to a final 1.0 release when we are starting with fresh characters? As the Early Access characters gets put into their own EA League upon release, or do they get put into a Standard league now?
