Ladder



Finally, 1000 Wins with Zerg, feels great. Zerg is a really fun race, the most flashy race in my opinion, from burrowed banelings to neural parasite you can play and make it entertaining for yourself. Even though playing 'flashy' might be another word for playing 'risky'. I am currently working on Protoss because Terran is way too hard for me to play or understand, but as soon as Protoss is done, I guess I just have to start playing and understanding.

Real-Money Auction House

[image loading]

Yeah, making them moneys, It's really strange, this is basically the only reason I play Diablo 3 anymore. RMAH has been out for a week in Europe and I feel good about the amount of money I've made. It's weird when you find a good item and it's and upgrade for you, but you know you can make money from it so you rather sell it. It takes away from the game really.

How many hours do you need to play to get one of those items to sell? Can you do it for a living?

Also, what did you buy in the TL store?

i know for a fact that some people are doing it for a living atm (got a buddie who has no job and has made ~1000$ since it came out) but really the inflation is going to be insane and i think it will devalue things to the point that it wont be viable after a few more months.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Once the server gets flooded with bots and the price of everything goes down from the game being played enough months and the items being common place, you won't be able to make any money on it. But for those who are prepared from release to exploit it, there is a window of opportunity to make good cash for a bit. Bots are not really viable on hardcore, so there might be money to be made there for awhile longer ;p

-more or less what my brother told me who was researching it and was trying to convince me to do it with him. I was like "no that's stupid." And then a day or two later of researching it more he realised he'd already basically missed the timing for the NA release.

Sadly... There is no RMAH for hardcore, so you can't even exploit that

I've probably made close to $1400 now from hardcore, so theres definitely a market for it. Equal items / gold sell for about 3-4x more than softcore prices.. Hell, three weeks ago 1million gold was selling for $75

I really dont understand, how is it even physically possible to have so many games and still be in Gold league. Do you just spam games mindlessly? What a waste of time.
