    Well folks, it's inching a little closer to release we hope, and today brought some interesting news.

    Namely, the fact that you have to have a constant internet connection to play, even Single-Player. Which basically means there is no real offline play.

    Also noting, that they have an Auction house like in WoW, dealing with real cash. I know this is nothing new or anything... but with the success of WoW's AH, why would they decide to deal with real cash in the AH? I don't know sounds pretty stupid to me... but I mean you can do in game-gold on the AH as well.. but the addition to in game cash is just blah...

    Discuss.

    MMORPGs aren't good for your health.

    They really aren't. They just... really aren't.

    However, I usually tend to heir to the side of things that aren't good for me ^.^

    Get started on a PS3 port already! I won't be buying the game on PC because I don't have one... but it looks awesome. I'm not too fond of the online requirement though.

    I think the major factor in the decision to make an auction house dealing in actual cash is that Blizzard will take a "small cut" of every transaction. Basically, they're swapping out their gold-plated Humvees for similarly-metaled hybrids. Gotta save the planet.

    Oh, and don't forget about the extension on the summer homes. All nine of them.
