Returning Beta player looking to try the new start zone

So like many of y'all I'm super excited to check out these new zones plus with the impending 1.0 I'm ready to dive back in to M&M.

I have a few level 30+ from a few months back, but I was trying to trick out my new underworld elf guy with the fruits of my previous labors. I placed two packs full of goodies into the shared bank space, and lo and behold nothing appears. is there some sort of restrictgion that I'm not aware of? anyone else run into this? ty in advance
