There is no doubt that Diablo II is one of the best third person games currently on the market. But did you know that players are auctioning off their weapons and unique items on EBAY?
How can they do this? The concept is simple. Players are playing hardcore game on a Blizzard's battle.net servers. For those of you that do not know, in a hardcore game, a player begins with Paladin, Sorceress, Necromancer, Barbarian, or Amazon and plays the game as normal. However, if you are killed, that is it--game over--time to start from scratch. . .ground zero.
As a player finds unique items, valuable and weapons, he or she gets a screenshot of their chest, and places these items up for bid. On hardcore games server, unique items are limited as one per piece. So immediately the principles of supply and demand ring true.
There is only one restriction about placing these items up for auction, they must be used on the game server which they were found. In fact, to receive your winning bid, you must meet the person on-line, on the server, and exchange the auctioned item...all the time hoping that the deal does not go bad by someone killing the player before the deal is done. Sounds like a drug deal doesn't it?
Although this is capitalism at its best, I must say one thing to the players who purchase Diablo II game items on line:
"You are both a sucker and a cheat!"
Be a real man and play the game for yourself. That is the whole point of competition...survival of the fittest. Also, buying items that are imaginary, just electronic impulses that have no actual and redeeming value, is the dumbest concept on the planet. I have noticed items go for as much as $50 in the auctions, go buy yourself a new game instead.
Better yet, take that money and pay someone to dismantle your computer!!! You have become so addicted to your computer that you have lost sense of reality.
