Blizzard co-founder and CEO Mike Morhaime said the decision to remove the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/29993.html > Diablo 3 Auction House was for many reasons.
"The auction house system is a very complex system that requires a lot of design and resources, but in the end I don't think it helped the game itself," he said. And I think our players have known this for a long time, and then we've been looking at the host version of the auction house, and the response was very positive, so we decided to remove it. ”
Morhaime said the game's new material, the sickle of Soul, was also a driving force behind the auction house service.
"We think that new information is the best chance to make some changes," he said. We sat down and exchanged a lot with the development team, especially the game director, Josh Mosquiera, to find out what was the right choice. ”
"Then we agreed that no auction house game would get better." ”
Morhaime said Blizzard had considered keeping the game money auction house, removed the real money auction house, but after thinking, it felt that the money auction house on the game caused by the impact of more than another, so two were removed.
Morhaime also revealed that the company now faces another difficult development decision, which is to restart the next generation of MMO "Titan", which has been in development for a long time.
"We are very candid about it," he said. Before we upgraded our technology and platform, we realized that if we didn't add some major changes to the project, the effect would certainly not be what we expected. So we need to find a chance to take a few steps back and think about ' what can we do if we re making something new? Would make something different? ’”
In August, Morhaime once said Blizzard was now looking for a new direction for the project, and that the project could not be a video-cassette game.
