I'll check out the beta, even though it seems fairly closed atm. It looks f*cking awful though, but what do I know. Feel free to PM me if you know how to get in somehow, or if you could lend me an account for a couple of days  Just judging from the name 'aoe online' I get the picture that you're on a big ass maps with tonnes of other players, kind of like world of warcraft, but RTS.. kind of sounds ridiculous come to think of it. What's the gameplay like? | ||

With all the different resources and upgrades, it was made to be a single player game. Sort of like Rise of Nations. lol :S AoC is one of the most online rts game played. Now World Clan League is running with 7k dollars for prizes (www.aoczone.net for more info). Also you can play at www,voobly.com 2500 people playing everyday. | ||

What's the gameplay like? I said it before in this thread, but I'm going to say it again: Don't bother, it's a waste of time. This game might be called "Age of Empires", but it has nothing to do with the great games of the series. Gameplay amounts to dumbed down mechanics, tutorial missions and a STRONG sense of deja vu every time you open up a new mission. There is no real multiplayer for hours after you boot up the game and the multiplayer that does exist feels like they killed AoE2 and through evil magicks resurrected a hideous abomination from its carcass. So, in short: This game is horrible, WILL tank horribly upon realease, and the only purpose it serves is to feed a bunch of incompetent game developers and their families. | ||

That being said, I personally enjoyed it for a little while, but the simplification of the controls wore on me. Maybe I've been spoiled by Starcraft 2's fluid and precise unit movements, but the absence of important unit control buttons like stop and hold fire are very frustrating. | ||
