Yeah pretty much. Though I am on Twitch, Youtube, Twitter, Steam, here and the official AoE forums already. That's pretty much all except Reddit. Reddit is something I don't have much experience with tbh.

But imo it's not our job to fix (tech) problems, mainly because we don't really have the knowledge for all problems. That's why we need everyone! :kinggreen:


I love Reddit.

Musketeer9529 is the moderator over at the /aoe3 subreddit but he isn't terribly active there. It would be nice to have full ESOC/Reddit integration (with a stickied post on the top of the subreddit linking this website) but that would be up to musketeer which he may not want to do.

@tilanus is a mod there as well, there's not much to administrate there to be honest, but I saw recently his activity when it was needed :!:
But yeah, it's a nice site, it's funny when you're the pro one and there are no colonels to give noobs advice xD

Well, as a media team, you should operate around other AoE3-related sites, like Twitch and Youtube, which as far as I know you already do, but also something like Reddit, Steam, official AoE forums. Get to werk, Dutchies! :coin: :coin: :coin:

Yeah that happened to me and my friends didn't bought it because everyone on stream were saying ESO not working this and that...
Since now we have good stable new servers we should all post our reply there on steam so people would know everything is going SPLENDID !!!

Downloading now.. At Nepal speeds.. few hours to go. Looking forward to a game or two later. Most likely 1 v 1 to prevent lag. Maybe I can pull team games.. Have to wait and see.

What is the current community numbers looking like? For both Nilla and TAD if anyone knows.
Also- I wonder if the stats will be shown regarding the amount of new purchases over the sale period. I hope it is at least a few hundred.

AoE3 on sale is like a volcano that explodes. We see it every year again, a gamebrowser that's filled with conscripts that host password protected games :?: also the steam forums kinda explode with questions. At the moment there are 3407 new accounts made in last 24h! But it's logical... Normally this game costs €37,- and now it's 80% cheaper: €7,39. The majority of the people wait for this moment and buy it.

As for the online stats:
- The majority plays on TAD. Mostly there are about 100-200 more players online on TAD than on Nilla.
- During Steam Sales we will likely reach an ESO population of 2000+.
- Normally there are about 700 - 1500 people online.
- Note that an online count of 2000 players doesn't mean that there are actually 2000 players. I guess it's more like 10.000 unique players that are playing actively on ESO.

Whoa what's the monastery like? Why are you there? Is it cool? I've always wanted to go to one but maybe that's because I have an idealized image of them from movies.

Yeah, I'm a mod there. The reddit already has added ESOC on the right side navigation (2nd entry at Resources). @sircallen I guess with "stickied post" you mean a link like "Buy on Steam, ELO Ladders, Steam Chat Room, Mods"? That should be easy to do. Gotta write me a reminder for this. Or did you mean something else?

It's surely a good idea to time certain reminder posts on reddit with steam sales. But actually, if there is an event here, people usually do post links on the AoE3 reddit. Seen a couple of folks here posting there. :geek:

You can have multiple accounts on the same PC. Creating them is a bit of a trick though. Most people reinstall the game with a new product key to create a new account, but I believe there is an easier way to do it, I just don't remember what it is.

There used to be a tool on the Eso.com site that changed your key without reinstalling. I also think you can do it manually in the registry files.

I already have Nilla. If I bought the complete collection can I just install the expansions and still have a different product ID?
