Ironman mode
Ironman mode is a style of gameplay on Emps-World that allows you to play the game with certain restrictions to make the game more difficult, and for some more enjoyable.
The restrictions placed on a player playing in Ironman mode include:
- Inability to Trade items with any other players (excluding Member tickets, GA tickets, Name change tokens and Double xp scrolls)
- Inability to pick up drops left on the ground by other players
- Inability to stake items against any other players (excluding Member tickets, GA tickets and double xp scrolls)
- Inability to access the Grand exchange, meaning they cannot buy or sell any items to other players (excluding Member tickets, GA tickets and double xp scrolls)
However, players playing Ironman mode (referred to commonly as Ironmen) ARE allowed to trade or stake the items mentioned earlier, as well as purchase them via the Grand exchange.
Ironmen also receive this 
symbol next to their names, which shows up in public chats, private messages, and clan chats.
To begin Ironman mode on Emps-World, speak to the Quest Guide on Tutorial Island before you leave, and choose the "Make Ironman" choice. This will start you on a gameplay mode that is uniquely difficult and challenging.
Hardcore Ironman mode 
Hardcore Ironman is another style of playing Ironman where players only have one life, in addition to the standard restrictions given to all ironmen. If a Hardcore Ironman dies, they will be converted to a standard ironman. Furthermore, their experience and total level on the Hardcore Ironman highscore table will be locked.
Ultimate Ironman mode 
Ultimate Ironman is another ironman mode where players are prohibited from accessing a bank. In addition to the standard restrictions given to all ironmen. However, they are still able to use noted items on bank booths, chests and bankers to unnote their items.
