That's because an unexpected call came in from our friends on the Diablo III team at Blizzard Entertainment. Have you ever seen eight people almost faint at the same time? That's what happened earlier this year as we were ending a relatively normal week at Extra Life HQ. To learn more about this unique initiative and how you can get involved, check out this post by Jeromy Adams, founder and director of Extra Life: To determine how best to allocate these funds and make sure they would have the most impact, Extra Life sat down with the Diablo III development team and, together, came up with The Diablo Extra Life Challenge. But once we do, you'll know too.Įarlier this year, we donated proceeds from auction house sales to Extra Life and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This is partly why we wanted to give players such advanced notice, as it'll allow enough time for all the appropriate preparations to be made (both on your end and on ours). That requires keeping the community informed of what will happen to things like posted auctions, items or currency in the Completed Tab, and (of course) Balance. We know these details are important, and our goal is to ensure that this transition goes as smoothly as possible. But we will, and we'll be sharing them with all of you once they're available - likely within the same FAQ thread we posted today as well as more front-page blog posts. We're still working out all the technical details for the shut down, so we don't have all the answers right now. Will I be able to cash it out, buy a D3 Pony t-shirt, buy Collectors edition ROS, or get me one of those sweet DWI Glasses?

dealwithitglassesĬould you find out what will happen to our real money balance. If that timeline changes and we're able to deliver something sooner, darn tootin' we'll let the community know. That said, I wouldn't anticipate anything before BlizzCon. We'd like to make public testing available this year, if at all possible (this will ultimately depend on how internal testing goes and whether or not we're able to get everything into a playable state). It would make forum life easier if you just said that ptr would not begin until next year We still have a lot of internal testing and development to do before opening everything up to a wider audience.

Yes, we want players to be able to provide feedback on those gameplay features those too.īut again, no dates or details yet (though Josh said we would love to do something this year, if possible). No ETA yet! While we certainly want to give players the opportunity to test out expansion changes before they go live and provide feedback, we don't have any details to share right now regarding a PTR or Reaper of Souls beta.
