New official forum?

It seems Microsoft realized their forum sucked after the entire AoE3 community left...

I wonder if it will really be any better than what they have. What do you guys think of this?

I wonder if this kind of investment in the series means something bigger is coming.

But really... Why would they spend any money/time on dead forums/forum upgrade for "dead games".. Hmmm

Yea it might just be extra support for that Castle Seige game. People do use their forums to post about that game.

Maybe they'll do something in 20 years for Windows 18 compatibility.......

I've been on that crappy forum for a year, but when I saw this forum I moved. In the beginning it was a nice forum with a lot of people but every month less and less people were active. Now the AoE3 section is almost dead and that applies for AoM and AoE2 as well. The forum had a lot of bugs and even the email notifications didn't work.
However, I'm curious to see the new forum and at the same time it's nice to see some signs of Microsoft about caring of us, the community.

Forum end of days? http://www.ageofempires.com/Forums/yaf_ ... ays.aspx?=

Pointless

musketeer925 · Post by **musketeer925** » 02 Jun 2015, 14:22

Yeah unfortunately it probably is just for castle siege. I'm not sure whether to hope the forum oa good or bad, though... If good, it could threaten to split the community.

I don't think so. In my opinion ESOC members will stay loyal since they appreciate all the efforts that have been made so far.

Goodspeed · Post by **Goodspeed** » 02 Jun 2015, 18:04

But it's for the most important market in the world: RTS players
