Making a living from the Diablo 3 Real Money Auction House

Equipment slotsI don't think there is a single gamer out there, who hasn't dreamed about making money from playing computer games. I am no different. Ever since I realized that I would have to work to put food on the table I have yearned for a way to turn the countless hours of nerding into a sustainable income.

I do however have what I would classify as a relatively high set of morals, which means I have never been able to get myself to participate in botting or shady gold selling. 

With Diablo 3 however, Blizzard is legalizing the act of selling and buying ingame items for real money and they are even putting a handy mechanic in place in order to facilitate the contact between buyer and seller. The D3 Real Money Auction House.

Last week I lost my job, but instead of being down about it, I have decided to turn this unfortunate event into something positive and see if I can not chase the gamers dream of earning money from playing Diablo 3.

D3 releases on May 15th and here is my current todo-list:

  • Decide on the Diablo 3 character class.
  • Test out the auction house and get a good idea of how it works, what sells and for how much in comparison to other items.
  •  Play through the first act and perfect the runthrough time in order to get a good headstart.

I have access to the Diablo 3 beta and I am currently testing out all the characters
in order to find the one best suited for longterm farming of gold and items. Deadline for choice of character 2012-04-17

I will keep you up to date as project "get rich" from D3 progresses.

Now I am going back to testing!
