Well.. looks like it's been confirmed that Blizzard will indeed be launching a Real Money Trading system for Diablo 3!

They said they would never do this for any of their games.. but then again, they've done this a lot: said one thing, did the opposite.

They're incorporating this new system into Battle.net, so it's pretty clear that they have this new "revenue generator" planned for their future games. The Titan MMO has been rumored to include a quite substantial buy/sell system in real life (for example, a lot of virtual and real products and services), so this is all starting to make more sense now.

I can't believe they're doing this.. maybe with enough fan uproar, this new paid service can be shelved just like Real ID? Doubtful.. this is going to make them a lot of money and it can't be ignored.
