WORLD OF WARCRAFT AUCTION HOUSE APP WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO SIGNS OF COMING BACK.

Blizzard Entertainment will be taking down the World of Warcraft remote auction house app. Community Manager Ythisens explains in a forum post why the app had to be shut down and why players shouldn’t expect it to return any time soon.

“The Web/Mobile Auction had a lot more issues with keeping it up than it was really worth for the small amount of players that actually used it. Trying to tackle and fix those issues (for transparency the majority were just exploits) just takes dev time away from working on new content. While it may change in the future, we currently at this time aren't planning to bring this back.”

As for the in-game auction house itself the Community Manager says that there are currently no plans to upgrade it. “I agree that the in game Auction House definitely needs some updates and Ion touched on this awhile back in a Q&A,” says Ythisens. “I currently don't know of any plans to update the Auction House, but as soon we hear information on any changes, you can be sure we will share it with the community.”

Ahead of its upcoming Steam Early Access release, offbeat FPS brawler Sky Noon will hold a closed beta this week from Thursday, April 19th through Monday, April 23th. You can participate by going to the game's official Discord channel. and serve yourself with a key. Keys will be sent out on the first day of the beta.

For those who don't know about it Sky Noon is a multiplayer first-person shooter where, instead of the normal ammunition or lasers we usually see on other games, your weapons shoot equally lethal air bullets. Levels are set way up in the sky, and the goal is blast enemies off the edge by nailing them with compressed air weapons that range from revolvers to explosives. You also can use gadgets like jetpacks and jump pads to get around levels quickly, and avoid falling yourself with your trusty grappling hook.

Here's the trailer:

Sad that Maplestory 2 isn't available in my region and same with Mabinogi. My region's stuck with nothing but FPS and MOBA's and the zombies that play them.

What is your zone? If I may ask?

Southeast Asia (SEA) region.

Very good article, I loved it

I am excited for Maple 2, I'm gonna miss the 2D perspective tho. sobsob Great article! c:
