Blizzard recently released a new patch for Diablo III, and players found that the new fix had in fact broken the game’s gold resource restrictions.
Patch 1.0.8 initially allowed players to exploit a flaw that let them duplicate gold – this bug was then suggested to be exploitable in the real-money auction house.
Blizzard then responded by taking the in-game auction houses offline to stop and avoid any further exploitation of the bug. Blizzard has since put the servers back online.
Blizzard is currently reviewing the accounts that were involved in the exploits, and is looking at temporary locks, suspensions, and/or bans as punishment.
“We’ve been able to successfully identify players who duplicated gold by using this specific bug, and are focusing on these accounts to make corrections.”
