This will be interesting. On Tuesday, Blizzard invited us to their headquarters in Irvine, California, to announce that the World of Warcraft auction will feature which allows players to buy and sell items in the gambling of the royal house. At the same event, and revealed that the World of Warcraft requires a constant Internet connection to play - no offline mode at all. This is not the same model microtransaction we've seen in other games: Blizzard themselves and do not sell any items in the game. The auction house will be completely driven player: all you see are found by someone, and most of the money spent to buy it goes to the player who has found or leave it. Read on for more details and justifications for Blizzard for it. Court Blizzard will cost a small apartment for the inclusion of a point on the rate of the auction house, and Blizzard have other fees fixed rate when the sale is completed. Both figures would be real money, but is not commensurate with the value of this element. Blizzard say they want to stay away from taking a percentage reduction. ‘The percentages really motivate us to operate the system, ’says lead designer Jay Wilson' and we even want the incentive to do, let alone actually doing it. ‘ Although they take a flat fee, Blizzard expect to have no money spinner for them. He added: ’We hope it will break even,' says lead designer Jay Wilson. ‘We’ve talked about this as a service we are providing players, and not primarily as a financial model … do not know if we will make money. It would be nice if I did, but as long as we don`t lose money, and that's really what matters to us: our players with a great experience not put us out of business'. I asked if they still do, even if they could not accept a reduction of sales. ‘Certainly,’ says Jay. The value of the player ‘We think it’s really add a lot of depth to the game, ‘says executive producer Rob Pardo. ’If I have more money than time can purchase items, or if I'm late wow gold in the game that can get out of that interest.' ‘The players really want. This is something that we know people will do in any way, and can provide really sure ,, amazing experience fun, or they will find a way to do it somewhere else ’. It is true that some players buy and sell items in the game, both former world cans of play by unauthorized third parties. I'm not convinced that this means the player base as a whole wants to be part of the game. You will not be able to buy a set of good endingly sword at level 1, because the items have minimum level requirements. But in the real world value of 100,000 gold at a character level 40 is intended to be much less than he deserves to level 1. Other auction houses nobody has to use real money auction house, of course. ‘If no one wants to do, ’says Rob,' will not be sold at all. 'World of Warcraft will have a second auction separately, that only works in gold building game. It will not cost any real wishlist items there money.
