Not true at all.

The same thing was said about the RMAH going live on May 29th. May 29th came, and the date got changed to June 12th. There has been nothing official from Blizzard guaranteeing that as the definitive launch.

And it also has less to do with server stability and more to do with the fact that the gold auction house is buggy as shit. Peoples items and gold disappear for days and days on end with no explanation other than database errors.

If they have just a small percentage of the problems they have with the gold auction house occur with the RMAH then they will open themselves up for lawsuits.

Not to mention the numerous accounts being hacked with and without authenticators, and Blizzards blanket denials of it being from exploits to their servers. Forbes has even run articles on this at this point in time. What happens when you have your card linked to the RMAH and your account gets taken due to one of these exploits and someone else runs your credit into the ground?

In short, Blizzard can not afford to open the RMAH at any point before they fix the nagging problems with the game stability, the gold auction house, and the security of their systems.
