Diablo 3 Auction House Announced - Spend and Earn Real Life Money!

[Cracktomte]

Ive never played diablo but surely this auction house will be on a blizzard server? How can it not have a monthly fee if its run on their servers? Note that Ive never played diablo or read anything about it so I may be wrong.

They will take some from the auctions just like they do in WoW. They will earn money for every auction a player create.

First of all Diablo 3 is not a mmo, but its real close and online only as well! And there will be no monthly feeds. However the Real world money system may cost money to use... They are using RealID for it. Nearly everything that drops on the ground, including gold, can be traded with other players directly or through the auction house system. Aside from certain quest items, there will be very few (if any) items that will be ?soulbound? to your character and therefore untradable. We are also planning to allow players to buy and sell characters in the auction house at some point in the future and will have more details to share on that at a later date.

In Diablo 2 there where trade sites and gold buying sites already.... All that blizz did is get there piece of the pie and kill the 3rd party guy! check...

As an advanced feature, players will have the option of attaching an account with an approved third-party payment service to their Battle.net account. Once this has been completed, proceeds from the sale of items in the currency-based auction house can be deposited into their third-party payment service account. ?Cashing out? would then be handled through the third-party payment service. Note that this process will be subject to applicable fees charged by Blizzard and the third-party payment service.

For a variety of gameplay and security reasons, we will not be supporting bots or mods in Diablo III, and they?ll be expressly prohibited by our terms of use for the game.

How will you address bots or *****ers?
We take *****ing very seriously, and we've designed Diablo III and Battle.net to include measures to detect and prevent unfair play. In addition, we will have anti-*****ing policies in place and will take action to address any issues as they arise.

Major benefit with D3 is that since you'll be in your own private game botting, you don't need to worry about some random schmuck walking by and reporting you if your bot gets stuck or something.
