basically, you no longer get gold in game, you do not have to pay for merc resurrections, repairs, or health pots, but gamble will still cost you actual gold.
you get gold from daily voting and/or purchasing (although it is not a requirement to ever buy gold)

alot of higher end farming that is better than battle.net (imo) with inferno areas, worldstone event, tristram, dreamlands, inferno cows, culthulu, lich king along with the 85+ areas that was standard leveling fare in D2 (i might have missed a few areas).

like i said, most will help here or in game, just holler
