Diablo III auction houses back online — Blizzard turns wrongful proceeds over to charity

Blizzard Entertainment forced a major shutdown of its gold and real-money auction houses in Diablo III on Wednesday after a mishap with coding caused a gold-duplication bug that players exploited for their own benefit. Now the houses and all gold trading are back in action, and Blizzard has taken what it considers to be an honest and positive approach to cleaning up the mess it started.
