While Diablo III‘s patch 2.2.0 will include microtransactions, publisher Blizzard has asserted they’ll only exist in Asian markets.
The patch will add functionality such as Platinum currency, timed experience boosts, stash space, character slot expansions and cosmetic items.
“While the above features will not apply to this region, players will still benefit from some of the quality of life perks tied to these additions, such as a streamlined UI for selecting cosmetic benefits like pets and Collector’s Edition wings”, Diablo Community Manager Brandy ‘Nevalistis’ Camel said in a post on Battle.net.
“We recognize that many players have expressed an interest in microtransactions being added to Diablo 3,” she continued. “While we may explore this model in some regions, we have no immediate plans to implement such purchases anytime soon for the Americas (nor European) region.”
