Was unsure to bump up this old thread or just make a new one due to how long of time passed between announcements but a bunch of Diablo III news was released by Blizzard.
The game will have an in-game auction house similar to World of Warcraft with one auction house allowing real money to be spent for in-game items and another auction house allowing in-game currency and items to be spent for other items.
Also revealed was the game will require constant internet connection in order to play the game ("Always On" connection). Blizzard says the reason is meant as a way to preventing hacking or minimize it and because of how the game uses Battle.net at all times.

The beta for the game is still set to arrive between later this year to early next year with initial reports say the game feels and plays just like classic Diablo but with all the flexibility of modern MMOs.

Finally, to combat hacking and illegal playing of the game due to the new auction houses, all mods will not be allowed at all for the game.

Q: Will Diablo III include support for bots and/or mods?
A: No, for a variety of gameplay and security reasons, we will not be supporting bots or mods in Diablo III, and they'll be expressly prohibited by our terms of use for the game.
