The overheidscommissie who need to determine which games are suitable for the South Korean market has determined that rpg Diablo III in the Asian country may be sold, but is only suitable for players 18 years and older.
The Game Rating Board of South Korea has determined that Diablo III may be sold to persons of 18 years of age and older. This brings to an end a period of uncertainty for developer Blizzard Entertainment. The commission had great difficulty with the game, and the approval had to wait for. Where the commission usually within 15 days of pronouncement, there was in the case of Diablo III more than a month in order to reach a decision, where the decision several times, was postponed.
The commission had difficulty with the Auction House in the rpg. This allows players in the game acquired items sell to each other. They can make the virtual items to offer for sale at the in game currency used, but Blizzard also offers the option to view the objects against real currency to offer. About that last option was the South Korean commission. Because the acquisition of objects in the game partly of chance is dependent, was a part of the commission that trading in the Auction House, thus something had to gamble and that is in South Korea are subject to strict rules.
The commission had several sessions are needed in order to reach a decision. Blizzard sent in december director Mike Morhaime to South Korea to play the game on the commission to present. To no avail, that Blizzard on december 22, a new application have submitted, with the option to real money trading from the game was removed. It is not clear whether Blizzard’s Real Money Action House is now out of the game should remove or not.
With the decision of the Game Rating Board puts an end to the uncertainty of fans in other parts of the world. Blizzard has always stated that the Diablo III worldwide at one time in the market. Fans feared that the doubts of the South Korean commission for postponement of the release would lead.
