How can I create/join a free Private League?

The free Private League templates will be available on this page[www.pathofexile.com] after a patch later this week. When those go live, you will be able to choose a template from the drop down list.

When the Private League based on the selected template has been created, the owner will be able to generate a link which they can share to invite up to 20,000 players. Simply accept the invite and then you’ll be able to create a character when the Private League starts.

Will these templates always be available going forward?

No, these templates will only be available during the event period (May 1st - May 30th PDT).

What happens with Alternate Ascendancies and the Idols system after these templates are no longer available?

They may return in the form of Private League templates or separate events in the future. We are not planning to add them to the core game.

Are the events voided?

No.

Are there Hardcore options?

Yes, all templates are available in Hardcore and Standard.

How will Affliction work?

Affliction will behave as it does in 3.25, just not exclusive to t16+ maps. This means no Wildwood Ascendancies or Charms.

How will Sentinels work?

Sentinels will also behave as they do in 3.25, just not exclusive to t16+ maps.

We hope you'll have fun playing in these Private Leagues. See you soon!
