Since korea finally gave it a rating im expecting it to still make their Q1 estimate for the launch, since the game was finished around September since they were planning a late November release Ya I dont think they would have EVER said publically they'd push for a late 2011 release unless it was at least plausible. To delay it possibly to april would be insane and imply something major went wrong. (I say april because I"ve heard specualtion about that date.) | ||

No RMAH in Korea, and Diablo 3 finally gets a rating there. This changes the state of play. Since there is no region locking, and since it is possible to play on any server with a client in any language, it would be very heartening to see the Korean servers turned into an international server because all the players around the world who are against the RMAH may gravitate towards it. The idea of a server that has a diverse and international playerbase, while being completely free of the unfair and game-destroying RMAH sounds like an almost utopian concept. I'm very pleased. | ||

It's not like Blizzard haven't thought about that "little" issue right there. The game being region free causes bigger problems for Blizzard than people seeing Korean servers as safe heaven for RMAH free play. How about Koreans playing on NA/EU accounts and using RMAH? I think they will make a Korean version which is isolated from the rest of the world. Not until, if, they get an approval will there be a completely region free Diablo 3. | ||

On the other hand, if it does not come for a while (which I foresee being the case). Than it will simply be claimed that Blizzard does not want us to know it was Korea so they held off the release date. Due to an argument being made based on no evidence, it is able to survive because there was no real basis to begin with. In the end, people will believe what they want. And even though it has been pointed out that Korea was not holding back the games release, even with Blizzard stating that more than once. There will still be others believing it. | ||

The game's release date wont be announced for a while. So, these are the claims that can be made. If the release date came out within a week, than the conspiracy theoriest will claim it to be the proof that it was in fact korea holding it up.

And how would we even know the truth? Assume Korea was holding the release back and just for arguments sake assume Korea was the ONLY reason. Do you expect an official statement from Blizzard saying: "We have some problems with Korea rating regarding RMAH since it is considered potentially as gambling. When we sort those problems out we will continue with our plan to have a global release." The conspiracy theorists are about just as right as anyone else because there are some things Blizzard will never, and don't have to, share with the community so there is nothing else to do but to speculate. | ||

Except Blizzard has made claims against such a belief. Stating that it is just as valid or the same is simply not the case. Now, one can claim they are lying which I doubt. I say that because companies like Blizzard tend to avoid lying because it is very bad PR. So they stick with either keeping quiet or saying things without making concrete claims. | ||

I'm very pleased. Yeah except the RMAH isn't unfair and it isn't game-destroying either. Realize you're just part of a vocal minority, and quite frankly, its incessant whining is getting on my nerves. For the purposes of obtaining items there is absolutely no difference between the gold based AH and the cash based AH. If you have the resources, you can buy any items you want. The only difference is that you need to grind the gold in-game, which any monkey can do providing they invest the time. Some people have more money than time, and the real money AH simply levels out the playing field for them. RMAH whiners aren't worried about not having items for themselves, they are just worried other people might have these items, too. Where I'm from, we call such people assholes  | ||

So Europeans can play on American servers but can't use the American RMAH. Under the current plan for Diablo 3, my suggestion will be possible. But it's also possible that Blizzard does something to deliberately kill the idea. | ||

There's already gaming organizations in South Korea controlling when/how much you can play depending on your age. Every blizzard account is linked to a username and an IP address. Every of theses accounts will be blocked to prevent using RMAH from a SK home-based computer. They're very strict about this... I think theses kinds of actions are totally needed in a country where video games are deeply incorporated into their life. For example, since Starcraft 1 isin't IP account bound with name & age.. all the Koreans Starcraft1 servers are shutting down from midnight to 6AM to prevent Koreans from playing during those times. If they don't want Koreans to be able to access the RMAH, then trust me.. you wont see Koreans on the RMAH. The only workaround this would be if someone outside Korea would buy the desired item to end up trading it to someone living in Korea and then get paid via a third-party website. Anyway, I understand Blizzard making a big deal about RMAH because most of their maintenance money will come from RMAH micro-transactions. What I don't understand is why is there players making a big deal about it? If you're so hardcore that you feel like RMAH is unfair... then go play Hardcore and quit your whine. | ||
