Is this an open ended game? Or a strict mission-based game? Is there a trading system and economy (i.e. trade goods to make money)? Are there factions which you can improve/degrade throughout the game?

I haven't bought this game, nor will I even buy a game that requires a CONSTANT internet connection (for various reason ... just look at the XBox debate that Microsoft eventually caved in on). Please don't support titles like this. I was hoping to pick up a really cheap "bargin bin" version once the price went down ... but that led to other questions. If the game requires a constant connection, what happens when Blizzard stops supporting the game? Will I not be able to play it anymore? Or will they eventually release a non-connection version? Such a disappointment.

That was probably the most boring intro that I've ever seen...
