So, the servers will be offline for 25 hours. Everyone, download GameRanger if you haven't done so yet.

awesome news

[Garja]

And this will have exactly zero impact for the players lol.

Players will be able to reset their passwords much easier

[fightinfrenchman]

That's not even true...

[Garja]

Well unless you reset your password once a week I don't see any tangible difference ahah

Oh wait maybe it will take 0.5 seconds less to refresh the game browser page. OP.

[forgrin]

Well I think the hope was to reduce the need for weekly maintenance/dramatically reduce the time the servers are down. That affects players!

[Akechi_Mitsuhide]

I think reducing maintenance time is quite a cool thing. But I think it would have been far more important to do something against those cheaters on RE patch.

Yeah I wondered who tested the new servers? Anyone from ESOC? If not, then still there's a ton of people playing AoE3 not knowing about our site, and as it was announced on AoE Facebook page, they might have got quite a response.

Word was that there were usually 1 sometimes 2 people online if you'd try it lol.

[pecelot]

So were they publicly available or one had to sign up to test them?

They would just send you the instructions how to play on the new servers if you had signed up.

[forgrin]

I actually couldn't sign up for some reason, site kept giving me an error

[illusioNtEk]

I tried beta and everything was the same... didnt notice a difference..... no major programming is being made... just updating old servers from 2005.

Let's make a few post in the Official Age of Empires Forums and let Microsoft know our thoughts on aoe3 and how to improve it so more steam sales continue.
