Path of Exile is a Free-to-Play Rougelike game, similar to Torchlight and Diablo. I would go so far as to say that it far surpasses the likes of Diablo III, and features many ideas that I feel bring a great deal to the genre.
The game is of course Free-to-Play, but the developers are strong gamers themselves and have managed the balance VERY well. The game does not require payment to complete, and paying does not give you a major benefit. It is incredibly well balanced, and incredibly fun.
You can run the game through Steam, or you can run it through its own launcher - either is just fine. Check it out here:

I've made a guild that we can all use, if you just send me over your character name I can add you to it! :)
My name is LadyDazz. Feel free to add me as a friend, and I will add you to the Guild!
What is on the options for buying in-game? Also, how would you compare this to Diablo 2?
I would say that this is a great spiritual successor to Diablo 2. I'm not far enough into it to tell you how it compares deeply, but it is greatly improved over 3. There is a lot more customisation in the skill tree (it is VAST) - you should check it out.
Payment wise, you can see all items here:

Things that range from account wide alterations to single items.
I might have to look into this then assuming we can get 1 or 2 more people in this guild. Are Spriters Resource people in on this?
I've posted a thread there too. I'm combining both sites into the same guild to save effort :P
Alright then, I'll see about making some space and trying it out some time.
Much smaller than I thought, didn't have to make space. Downloading now.
Hey Dazz, can you send me a friend request? I am currently working on math but when I'm done, I'll hop on.
Sent ya a request.
What kind of gameplay is it? (Birds eye, 3rd person, etc)
