Blizzard Entertainment turned heads recently having a somewhat amazing announcement: the removal on the Actual Revenue and Gold Auction Houses in Diablo 3. Even though it may be also late to convince some, this announcement is a great factor for substantially in the Diablo fanbase on www.live4mmo.com/diablo-3-gold, that have begged Blizzard to eliminate the Auction Homes. The main argument against the Auction Homes is the fact that they produced it sub-optimal for players to go out and earn gear, which undercut the core reward loop on the game. Just after practically two years of defending the merits of the present Auction Residence method, the developers relented, and announced that the Diablo 3 Auction Homes will close starting March 18th, 2014.

John Hight and Josh Mosqueira, the Production Director and Game Director for Diablo 3 respectively, also sat down and explained the original objective on the Auction Houses plus the reasoning behind their removal. Additionally they infer that more information with regards to the "Auction Property Solution" is on the way, and will be announced at Blizzcon in November. These changes are likely to become only a number of the overhaul that Blizzard has planned for Diablo 3, also to the Loot two.0 program, and also the Reaper of Souls expansion. With an official date on the closure with the Auction House, it really is only a matter of time ahead of a timeframe is place on the rest on the Diablo three adjustments.

The announcement on the official Diablo 3 website are as the following:

John Hight:

When we initially designed and implemented the auction houses, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But as we've mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot. With that in mind, we want to let everyone know that we've decided to remove the gold and real-money auction house system from Diablo III.

We feel that this move along with the Loot 2.0 system being developed concurrently with Reaper of Souls?; will result in a much more rewarding game experience for our players.

We're working out the details of how the auction house system will be shut down, but we wanted to share the news as soon as we made the decision in order to give everyone as much advance notice as possible. Please note that the shutdown will occur on March 18, 2014. We will keep everyone informed as we work through this process.

Josh Mosqueira and I wanted to provide everyone with a little more information behind this decision, so please have a look at the video, and stay tuned to this site for further updates in the months ahead.
