pvp hype

split of the community coming in again

You should give it a shot. Maybe you can beat Stanley in AoEO.

We won't be having any degradation of the Aoe3 experience that people expect. This will be incremental to our AOE3 work, not replacing anything! :)

Lol the game seems to be so fun
Does h2o play this?

First when I looked at it I was like "damn this looks so shit" but when you get used to it it seems very dynamic and cool to play! Ill give it a try.

I played it back in 2011-12 a bit.

Incredible work on today's stream. Seriously, I can't imagine how the stream could have been more professional and amazing than it was.
I think the way we had one experienced AoEO caster and one AoE3 caster worked really well to bridge the gap between our communities and answer many questions on peoples' minds. The players were also apparently chosen well, as the series ended with an intense 3-2 result.
It was just great. Thanks to everyone who made this possible; the organizers, the casters, players, helpful people in the chat and of course the mighty devs themselves!

So what about balance & maps?

I assume the people behind the servers of AOEO will also be playing a role in that regard?

Ya so with the release of pvp we actually had our first balance patch. It was a small one;

War Elephant: Speed reduced to 7, from 9.
Priest of Set: Conversion range reduced to 28, from 32. Insanity rate increased to 16, from 10.
Hunting dogs upgrade changed to 100wood and 50gold, from 150 wood and 50 gold.

We wanted the first one to be real small, we have a good balance team working and making sure we are all on the same page before making any changes and only making changes that are necessary.

Wow can we hire you guys for ep?!!!

How do you guys think about the current player base? How many players can it reach again?

So hyped :O, aoeo was what brought me into aoe in the first place! Thanks for bringing it back and esoc for helping the game!

well it's still in closed beta so everyone doesn't have access to game

I can at least get a competitive game on aoeo faster than on aoe3

That's nice of course, but I think the question is for how long. Any estimation about the maximum amount of players AoEO should be able to reach? Of course I hope as many as possible!!

i cant imagine that aoeo surpasses aoe 3 in user numbers. Its an unofficial release of an already old game that wasnt even succesful aka cant benefit from a large playerbase that wants to play it.

The community is rapidly growing again. We're doing our best to get many of the old top players back, and succeeding. As of now, there are 1500+ people in the discord, and 1000+ people who have used a key and are playing. Ofcourse only a fraction of those people play PvP, but it is already at the point where people can get games quite easily.

I gotta say that the amount of people on Discord is impressive. 1000 people who have gotten the key seems to be good amount right now. Hopefully, people will stick around so it will actually grow even more.

i wonder where those 1.5 k on discord are. Im actually in the group and there are 345 members. Oh and i also got a key, played 5 min and decided to never do it again :)

Yeah 345 members who are online right now. Probably the amount of members that have access to the Discord is 1500+

Indeed. It's 1750 now, and 1150 keys used.
