Ding dong! The witch is dead! Blizzard is removing the auction house from the PC version of Diablo III. The latest blog<\/a> update says that Blizzard will be shutting down the in-game gold and real money auction houses on March 18th, 2014.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Diablo III expansion, Reaper of Souls<\/a>, will launch sometime in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
