It was only last month that Blizzard announced an auction house trait for the upcoming Diablo III, and word is out now that the real money dealings of this feature will be carried out through PayPal. Almost everything that would be found by gamers in the Diablo III universe will be liable to be exchanged with other players directly or through the auction system.
Diablo III is now running a closed beta which is open only to Blizzard employees and their families. It is still unclear as to when the much anticipated game will release. Blizzard’s website announced recently, that gamers from ‘most regions’ will be able to carry out transactions using PayPal accounts. This feature will soon be added to various regions as a payment option on Battle.net.
“We’re pleased to announce that in most regions, PayPal will be our payment-service partner for the Diablo III auction house, allowing players who trade with real-world currency the ability to cash out the spoils of their battle-torn adventures via a PayPal account,” read a post on the website.
The horror-themed RPG was first announced in 2008 and has been under development since. It is said to include elements of hack and slash and dungeon crawl genres. Diablo III will be set in the dark fantasy world known as the Sanctuary and is apparently being developed for PC and Mac platforms.
The PayPal integration of Diablo III may be a welcome addition to the game, but fans of the popular franchise would be more interested in knowing the launch date of this title which is still kept under wraps by Blizzard.
