Well the last thread I did like this was Gran Turismo 5. Pretty sure I played that for 2 days and haven't touched it since. Lets hope D3 is a little more long lasting.
Blizzard had a press event a few days ago and the NDA was just lifted so news is streaming out.

quote:
Q: Can I play on a server without a currency-based version of the auction house?
A: We want to provide a secure, fun environment for our players to purchase and sell in-game items using gold or real money and have no plans to divide the community. Players are free to participate in the gold-based auction house or the currency-based auction house, or to opt out of using any of the auction houses at all, progressing through Diablo III using only the items they obtain through their own adventures or direct trade with other players.
so no...
quote:
Q: Will Blizzard sell anything directly through the auction house?
A: We don't have any plans at this time to post items for sale in the auction house.
in other words we do have plans but dont want to hurt initial sells further.
quote:
Q: Can Hardcore-mode characters use the currency-based auction house?
A: No. Hardcore characters will only have the option to buy and sell items together with other Hardcore characters via a separate "Hardcore-only" gold-based auction house; they will not be able to use the currency-based auction house. Hardcore mode is designed as an optional experience for players who enjoy the sense of constant peril that comes with the possibility of permanent death for a character. All of a Hardcore character’s items are forever lost upon that character’s death, so to avoid the risk of a player spending real money on items that could then be permanently lost when the character dies, we decided restrict the use of the currency-based auction house in Hardcore mode.

his TLDR
quote:
D1 Warrior (the Dark Wanderer) was retconned, he is now King Leoric's eldest son.
Fire reigns from the sky, dead arise from graves, bring heroes to Tristram.
Book of Cain fills the 20-year gap between LoD and D3.
Leah is Adria's daughter and Cain's adopted niece.
6 active skills instead of 7. Traits revamped into "passive skills," only 3 active at a time.
Cauldron of Jordan: Allows you to sell items from battle.
Nephalem Cube: Salvages items.
Stone of Recall: D3's version of a hearthstone.
Stash is huge! Larger than LoD's and has 5 pages, that you can purchase for gold. hey some good news
DH has 2 separate resources, Hatred and Discipline, both regenerate at a certain rate.
Beta will only be a portion of Act 1 and will be relatively small.
Real money auction house as well as a gold auction house and direct trading.
Banner system to represent each person individually.

Really looking forward to this game. I hope to god they scrap the RL currency AH. Micro-transactions is one thing, but allowing players to post auctions for RL money is just dumb. Hell, they banned people for gold selling in WoW. This is basically the same thing but controlled directly by Blizz.

Yeah, frick the RL currency AH. That's just a knee to the balls.
Any word on the beta?
ETA: Nvm, read the rest of the article. No release date yet. Conference call on August 3rd, maybe they'll announce it then. Can only play part of Act 1 on the beta, so it'll be pretty short.

I agree
I think that'll make it so most will try to use the RL money AH to sell good items and the gold AH will be used for shite items.

Also read that it requires constant internet connection to play,

really? is that to prevent hacks/dupes on bnet?
Posted on 8/1/11 at 9:33 am to jefforize
That kind of move is generally used to combat piracy, but in doing so it creates a huge fricking hassle for the people who legitimately buy it.
Posted on 8/1/11 at 9:34 am to jefforize
I don't think it's going to be to bad. Kinda sucks but who knows. Maybe can be the next thing for gaming. Maybe even a 2nd income.

I had completely forgot about this game. This is the first bit of news I have seen on it in a long time.

Is there a possible release date?
Posted on 8/2/11 at 4:32 am to jthib07
not yet, but a "leaked schedule" suggests holiday 2011

With the Q3 Beta testing, looks like a Thanksgiving to Christmas release. Blizzard has done this multiple times with wow. Once beta goes live its just a couple of months before game release.
