Very soon. GGG is working on implementing the final system as I write this.

I think you guys will be really excited to see all the different rewards available. This goes way way beyond just getting a few beta keys. I know I'm definitely excited for some of the things that GGG will be offering.

Note: The online shop will not be initially enabled with this patch. Once this patch is deployed, we will test the online shop for a few hours and then enable it for the public. Until then, clicking the button in the Microtransaction Stash will not work.
