Multiplayer Sim-City? Hells yes. Being able to socialize with your neighbors and manage local issues in a MMO style environment is too good to be true.

I'm really interested in this, a city-building game, with the community and connectivity of an MMO. It's great to see new ideas put into action!

I'm really looking forward to the economy/trade aspect of Cities XL. I've always felt that it was an underdeveloped tool in city building sims!

I'm enamored with the entire thing! A sim city style MMO game equates to a possible addiction problem

I'm curious how well done the actual building of cities is and if it compares to Sim City (and I'd like to see some trains!).

I would totally dig one of those keys. Game looks totally sweet.

The GEMs look to be the coolest part. I just hope they can pull off having a full featured city building game and full featured tycoon style games without having to water them down to save on development time.

I'm looking forward to see how your city will interact with the cities of others (maybe like in Sim City 4 where each "region" was interacting with another).

I cant wait to build up competing cities with friends of mine helping each other out with their needs etc.

Really looking forward to how other cities interact as well as just checking out everyone's cities and possibly incorporating other peoples unique ideas in my own city.
