Did you know that you can make money (yes, actual cash) by playing Diablo 3? Ever since Blizzard announced the RMAH (Real Money Auction House), numerous gamers have been experimenting with Diablo 3 beta in an attempt to try and find ways to profit from it financially. Who knows, maybe one of those profiteers could be you!
In the final version of Diablo 3, there will be two auction houses – one using in-game gold, and the other using real-world money as currency. In the Real Money Auction House, you will be able to buy and sell items using real cash. So if you happen to run across a rare item and would like to sell it, you could potentially receive actual cash for it from the RMAH. Exciting, right?
The only problem is Blizzard will be charging fees to put up and sell items on the RMAH. Don't worry, this doesn’t mean you can’t make money – you just need the right strategy to do so. Ever since Diablo 3 beta was released, players have been attempting to find different strategies to dominate the auction houses. This way, once Diablo 3 is finally released, they will be able to take control and make money fast.
So how does all of this affect you? It depends, really. If you’re only interested in playing the game, then you can do that and avoid the RMAH like it never existed to begin with. But, if you are interested in making money while playing Diablo 3, it might be a good idea to start learning the system and planning ahead so you will be ready once the game is released.
There are quite a few strategies already in the works, thanks to Diablo 3 beta. Blizzard hasn’t released any numbers yet regarding item values or fees, but some players are still finding ways to plan ahead. For example, some players are taking notice of which items crafters are most interested in buying. By doing so, once the game is fully released, these players can farm for these specific items and sell them for a significant amount of money on the RMAH.
This is just one example of preparation being taken; there are many, many more strategies. Some players have even gone so far as to develop complete guides and software to help them prepare. If you’re interested in this money-making opportunity, I highly recommend you start getting ahead. The possible opportunities seem endless with the new Real-Money Auction House.
See you online, May 15!
