And there was much rejoicing....

Could this feature have been exploited? Gold Farming 2.0?
Korea Approves Diablo III
The game finally gets rated by the Games Rating Board.
They say that the third time’s the charm, and that definitely holds true for Blizzard. After submitting their highly-anticipated dungeon crawler Diablo III to the Korean ratings board two times and getting rejected, we can report that the third submission was a success. That’s right, you compulsive clickers out there—Diablo III has a rating in Korea.
That rating is 18+, which seems to equate to the M rating in the U.S. As you may recall, the problem with getting the game rated in Korea had to do with the real money auction house that Blizzard plans on implementing. The main sticking point was a feature where players could “cash out” their gold for real money, and this feature was removed in Blizzard’s final submission to the ratings board.
This is great news for eager Diablo players the world over, as the plan has been to launch the game simultaneously in all regions. The fact that the game has been submitted for ratings also means that we’re closer than ever to the release of Diablo III. Ladies and gentlemen, get your index fingers ready!
