When will ladder characters Expire?

[purplelocust]

No season has lasted only 3 months yet. The shortest season we've had so far was season 1, which lasted over 8 months.

Here are the recent seasons of the ladder, since when 1.10 came out:

1. Season 1: from when 1.10 came out in October 2003 to July 2004 (10 months)
2. Season 2: from July 2004 to when 1.11 came out in August 2005 (13 months)
3. Season 3: from August 2005 to present (7 months so far...)

Seems that Blizzard tends to reset Ladder 1 time per year....

I dunno when will be last reset or last Ladder :rolleyes:

Can you tell me past Ladder reset dates? Just for statistics. I want to guess, when this ladder will end.

Alright:

Season 1 started: 28 October 2003
Season 1 ended: 08 July 2004
(lasted for 255 days, or 8 months, 11 days)

Season 2 started: 08 July 2004
Season 2 ended: 08 August 2005
(lasted for 397 days, or 1 year, 1 month and 1 day)

Season 3 started: 08 August 2005

Tx All for the most informative replies which one can;t get anywhere but here. I think the game developer should reward some of u for enhancing the fun of the game for many many newbies. My appreciation again.

I have a related question. My Ladder chars are now fairly high level, and have a moderate amount of wealth. What should I do once the end of the season is announced? Namely, should I be making spirit shields like mad? Or else, upgrading my exceptional armors? I've only been on the realms for two months now.

What Ladder items become valuable on non-ladder when the rollovers happen?

The ladder season will end 1 week after I find a ber rune. It's happened that way for the last 2 ladder seasons. I'll keep you posted.

I would:
1. Make Insights like mad. Even in crappy, normal polearms. Just take anything suitable polearm and make an Insight in it.
2. Make Spirits like crazy, both in monarchs and Pal shields.
3. If you can afford it, buy Griefs and Faiths and Forts. They become insanely valuable on NL.
Yes, many Ladder only items become very valuable when they get dumped on to NL.
