I am curious to see how the trading feature would be working between cities, what we would be able to trade, and how that would increase our cities growth.
Building an awesome city also looks like fun too.

I'm looking forward to the competition that Cities XL will bring. I was always a proponent of the Sim City franchise, however after playing you got the sense that if the computers were actually human controlled it would take it to the next level. I;m interested in the political aspects that human to human interaction will bring up.

What I am really looking forward to is the true inter connectivity that this game is promising. Being able to actively engage with your neighbors, while still having a great time developing you own city.

I'm looking forward to visiting other cities and then using that as inspiration to build something unique with friends ideas!

I'm a huge fan of simulations, and I'm curious about every nook available for me to explore. If I had to pick something, it would be city building and watching things evolve.

Always a big fan of mmos and sim city series, so I guess I can't miss on a mix between the two, I am particularly curious about commerce between cities in XL

I'm interested in seeing how the whole sense of global community works out. The management and trade aspects of making your city work with others in providing and acquiring goods is really cool. I can't wait to try that out.

I am most looking forward to having a building game wrapped in a pseudo-MMO shell. Looks like pure heaven.

I'd be interested in how this will link to the real life art world gallery systems.
