Steam Winter Sale!

The wondrous Steam Winter Sale is on! Age of Empires III as well as the rest of the series are all on sale, grab a copy while they're amazingly cheap!
Sale ends on 2nd January 7PM CET. You may consider buying some for your friends or family as a Christmas present :flowers:

(Click on image or here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/105450/)

If you already have/had the game installed and would like to use this opportunity to obtain a brand new ESO account, here are the necessary steps to do that:
1. First you need to remove your old CD-key from your system. Run this registry script appropriate for your OS, found here: https://www.eso.com/101.aspx
2. Run vanilla AoE3 (must not be any expansion)
3. You should be asked for a CD-key now. Enter your new CD-key (you can find it on Steam in LIBRARY -> GAMES -> select AoE3 -> click CD Key on the right)
4. Vanilla AoE3 should start now as normal if you typed the key correctly.
5. Connect to ESO, choose Create New Account, fill it and you''re done.
6. Now you can use both accounts freely.

No reinstall/reboots are needed.

tbh, squat bootys are worth a topic tho. :)

on topic: the hard but 100% working way is to deinstall everything, remove all remaining files / clean registry, re-install from steam, create online account with the steam code of the version you just bought.

Weird. Can you tell us more about your situation:
I assume you had the game installed previously from a non-steam source and now you bought it on Steam?
When you downloaded and ran the registry script, did the game ask for a key next time you launched it? And you put in the CD key of your newly bought copy from your Steam library?

So you had the game previously on Steam, and now bought a new copy? So you made a new Steam account to buy the game again?

According to those Steam files, the amount of players has been growing even :o

It says the peak was 5.392 in past 24h while yesterday (from what I've seen) the ESO peak was about 2300. This means more than 50% is playing singleplayer, LAN or the campaign. Though it's fully understandable since most of them just bought the game because of the Steam Sale. Why would you play multiplayer if you haven't ever played an AoE3 game in your life XD

Awesome!

That's a proper way to go: SP -> MP. Bear in mind you have a lot of awesome campaign scenarios to finish!
Nonetheless, that's indeed great! :flowers:
