Blizzard Releases Diablo III Patch 1.08
Blizzard just pushed out the 1.08 patch for Diablo III. It adds several nice new features to the game (“Identify All” – woo!), fixes bugs, tweaks class balance a bit, and throws in several new social features to enhance co-op play. You can read the patch notes right here.
Unfortunately, Blizzard inadvertently introduced a rather nasty – and easily exploitable – gold duplication exploit with the patch that they’re now scrambling to address with a hotfix.

I thought the “real money” auction house concept was a terrible idea from day one. I get a kick out of the fact that Blizzard actually thought it wouldn’t fuck up the balance of the game.
