In regards to the D3 AH, it's going to be possible to sell items ( and apparently characters ? by the looks of the screenshots that have been put out ) for Real World Cash which can then be sent to your Battle.net account balance OR send it to a 3rd party payment provider ( I'm guessing Paypal will be one of them ) and then use that money to pay for shit from the Blizzard Store like WoW subs ( or just keep it for yourself to spend on other stuff :D ). Hardcore players will not be able to use the RMAH. There'll still be a separate auction house for in-game gold obviously, the RMAH is completely OPTIONAL to use.
I'm glad Blizzard is implementing the auction house, this way they don't have to worry about people buying items from 3rd party sites like D2JSP and getting scammed/ripped off. It'll all be controlled by the players.
The game is going to REQUIRE an online connection as DRM to be able to play both singleplayer and multiplayer ( meh ). 10 character limit per account.
Beta is supposedly going to be available in August ( there's going to be an investor conference call on the 3rd of August so expect the beta to be given a date then ) but it'll be only a few hours long and won't have runes/AH available.
They need to give out a release date all ready. At least an estimate so I know when I need to get a new computer. Do they have system requirements out at least?
"Ultimately, it’s going to take the game's harder difficulty modes – Hell and Inferno – to challenge the limits of the best Diablo III players."
That's a quote from the Activision-Blizzard conference call. There's no other information about it or announcement from blizzard to confirm but I hope it'll be a difficulty that we can try out after Hell for lvl cap players.
"You're going to die, a lot, and you're going to have a horrible character for quite a while. You're not going to hit 60 and finish the game on Inferno. You're going to be smashing your face against Act 1 Inferno for weeks." -Bashiok
fuck, i'm gonna be raging up a storm when the game comes out
