Age of Empires: Online Returns!

  • Quote

Post by n0el »

On July 1st 2014 a community was destroyed. Microsoft shut down Age of Empires Online. AoE:O was the newest full release in the AoE franchise and offered an innovative take on the franchise with several new features. Since then, a dedicated community has been working to bring the game back online. This weekend Age of Empires Online comes back!

ESOC is proud to announce their new partnership with the Age of Empires Online community.
We will be adapting our site over the coming weeks and bringing on AOEO community leaders to provide the same support to AOEO. That means tournaments, ladders, streams, and a home.

Make sure to tune in at ESOCTV, as a showmatch between top AoE:O players will be held on Saturday at 22 GMT!

AOEO Players:
We have spent the last three years serving the AOE3 community and are excited and ready to add another Age game to the list.

We like to keep busy. I'll call your attention to a few highlights:
1. About ESOC - links to many highlights of our work
2. 3 Years - 4 Major Events, 6 Special Events, $5000+ in prizes
3. Our most recent finals
3. 230,000 post, 10,000 topics, 7000 forum users.
4. Community built strategy wall
5. We have started an AOEO theme for the site. Get started with it here

AOE3 Players:
AoE:O returns as a free game, so give it a try! Many of the top AOEO players have returned and are ready to show off their abilities. PvP is releasing this weekend. That is the time to get started.

FAQ:
1. What is Age Of Empires Online?
2. To install the game.
3. Keys for user name creation will be readily available upon PvP release. Check the AOEO discord link provided here to be up to date.

For all the latest news, check out the official ESOC Age of Empires Online forum section. The latest news regarding the PvP experience as well as other great discussion will be going on there. ESOC and the AoE:O team both have great things planned for the future, so stay tuned!! Additional discussion and information can be found at the AoE:O discord channel.
