One of the coolest things in Diablo 3 is a new and unique dual-money Auction House where players can trade their items with each other for in-game gold and real world currency alike. This is definitely a novelty in gaming world and in this article we will look into the four main features of this system.

Easy Trading:

All items that payers find or win in Diablo 3 can be easily sold or exchanged in Auction House. Those can be various weapons, gear, potions, and even gold can be exchanged for real world money. If a player with a wizard character finds a two-hand great sword for example, he would not have any use of it in previous editions of Diablo except of selling it to game vendor for a cheap price. Now he can enlist this sword in Auction House and players with barbarian characters will appreciate its true value and pay a fair price.

Smart Search:

A Smart Search feature is also a novelty integrated into the game. When players come into the Auction House they will see items auto sorted by usability for their respective characters. The cool thing is that they would also be able to perform a search for their other characters without need to log off.

Dual Money System:

As I already mentioned, players can buy and sell items for in-game gold and for a real cash. This feature opens a whole new perspective to the game and a whole lot of different possibilities. Currency trading is used for both, Auction House trading and for direct player-to-player trading too. It is optional and also limited for certain items. Blizzard Entertainment spokesman said that they would not put any items for sale, all trading will be done between players exclusively, and they would only make money from monthly subscriptions.

Safe And Secure Transactions:

The good thing is that all transactions and currency exchanges will be handled by Blizzard itself eliminating all possible hacks and scams usually occurring when third party websites are involved. This is a great improvement from World Of Warcraft game where, in order to buy gold, players had to deal with some questionable sites and traders. This would often lead to disappointment and many people got banned from playing with their accounts permanently closed.

On the negative side, many Diablo 3 fans have expressed the concern that real money trading would tag the game as gambling. So in some countries where online gambling is prohibited the game might even become against the law.

All things considered, new Auction House trading with real money involved is definitely adding more excitement into Diablo 3 game and will attract lot of new players wanting to try this newest trend.
