Blizzard has just posted a brand new patch for Diablo 3, this time in the form of update 1.0.2c, which takes the game to version 1.0.2.9991 and introduces the long-awaited Real-Money Auction House.

UPDATE: Patch 1.0.2c is also available in Europe but, unfortunately, it doesn't bring access to the Real-Money Auction House.

Diablo 3 has been released for almost a month and developer Blizzard has been working hard on eliminating the array of errors and glitches found in the game.

After posting quite a few patches in quick succession, the studio has now released a new one, in the form of update 1.0.2c, which eliminates a particularly nasty glitch that caused game crashes, while finally introducing the Real-Money Auction House (RMAH) to the dungeon crawling game.

Check out the full list of changes introduced by patch 1.0.2c for Diablo 3 below.

General The real-money auction house is now live! To access the real-money auction house, click on the "Auction House" button on the left-hand side of the campaign screen, and then on the button showing your region's currency in the upper right-hand corner of the auction house interface.

If the authentication service is busy, the login checkbox will now wait at "Authenticating Credentials" until a player's login attempt can be processed. As a result, players should no longer encounter Error 37 when logging in.

Achievements have been granted to players who previously completed their objectives, but were not correctly awarded completion credit.

Bug Fixes

As of right now, the patch is officially available only for North American copies of the game, but Blizzard is expected to release it for European and Asian ones in the very near future.
