Thoughts?

The Diablo III Hardcore mode, Clan Support, and Automated Tournaments are the three I'm looking forward to the most.

I agree with Xios. The Tournament feature should be a real success like the arena one has been in WoW. Hopefully the matchmaking enhancements are spiffy and efficient also. The one thing that I'm really hoping Blizzard deliver on is the anti-cheating measures. Blizzard proved with WoW that they were able to keep cheaters at bay for the most part so I'm holding high hopes for them with D3!

Well, there is allot of advanced management, I always find it useful when you can manage things as deep as possible , friends list etc, it will be something like my space ) nah but its great ^_^ more management more better oh and avatars for the win !

Anti cheat is something that really needs to be greatly looked into, D2 hacks and cheaters werent fun at all. Legit characters take time and effort those people who use hacks dont get the full satisfaction of getting a character to level 99 without cheats or hacks.
