Who isn't looking forward to being able to wander through your cities with your friends? It's going to be awesome. Come check out my pimped out town center :P

I'm looking forward to the online aspect about CitiesXL. It's a bit like Youtube or LittleBigPlanet: Create, Share and Participate

Looking so forward to this game and hopefully a beta key to assist where possible!

I would love to try out this game.

I'm really looking forward to the trading aspect of Cities XL.

The city building aspect of the game is of course interesting, as a fan of Sim City (etc.) of course the game interests me, but I think the most interesting aspect is the interaction aspects of the game. Social interactions along with the player based economy (most interesting).

Many are looking forward to the competition, but I'm looking forward more to the trading and coexisting with thousands of other cities in the world, and the ability to make my city look unique compared to the others.

I have to say my favorite portion, and this may seem ridiculous, is the ability to zone complex polygons rather than squares. In SimCity your creations never looked truly living because you were confined to blocks. I'm looking forward to winding roads which intertwine with no rhyme or reason :)

Really want to see the graphics capabilities first-hand

I've always loved city building, but I am extremely excited about how they integrate it in MMO. Very much looking forward to it.

I'm interested in a new kind of player progression that hasn't been tried before. The whole game progression and player interaction should be very interesting

I would have to say the most interesting feature I am looking forward to is the player to player interactions. Not only building the cities, but trading amongst other players and hosting events sounds quite entertaining.

I can't wait to build my own city!

sad i misssed 1st round of keys, plz tell me you have some left :)

I am looking forward to the interaction with neighboring cities and how that will affect your own city.

I'm most looking forward to seeing how an MMO Sim-like game addresses the concept of virtual economy between players as well as how it attempts to tackle the challenges of presenting itself as a social platform as opposed to just a bunch of hermits sequestered in their own territories building pretty cities. Also I really just want to romp around and play in it.

Building a city and interacting with other players -- I think its a dimension that can only improve a sim type MMO!!!!

I think the vast expanse of therience. world, and the subsequent plethora of connections (social, political, and economic), which can be made in such a place will make this game a constantly evolving experience.

C'on gimme the possibility to try this beta game !! it hink it's awesome !! gg team !

I'm interested to see how the social aspect of the game will come into play, and how trading / economies will form. Game looks awesome! Let me try it, pa-leeeze!
