He said: “We’ve already made a number of fixes and updates including the activation of the Auction House, which provides a convenient way for players to trade items with each other.

“The Diablo team has also been working on improvements to end-game rewards and having a player-versus-player mode, which we hope will enhance the value and longevity of the game. ”
