1Up.com is reporting today that Blizzard has announced an Auction House app for World of Warcraft. A Blizzard employee called Bornakk made the announcement on the official WoW forums, stating:

“While there are still plenty of details to be worked out, we’re designing the service to offer auction functionality similar to what’s available in-game. Players have been requesting – and we’ve been hoping to implement – a feature like this for a long time, and we’re excited that the Armory and the game have evolved to a point that makes it possible.”

Bornakk then goes on to say that some parts of the app will be premium-based.
Until now, WoW players who are addicted to buying and selling items in the auction house could only do so when they were playing the game. Now with this sort of on-the-go access on the horizon, their families may never see them again!
