I nearly left Aoe3 after playing (only Vanilla & only team games on GameRanger) for like 4 years.

Once I got in touch with the community, it lifted my spirits. Seeing tournaments, top players, also encouraged me to play TAD and also 1v1 games. Enjoyed watching streams, and Rec is the section which I love the most. I love to watch @Mitoe rec games

Dont really have words to be thankful for the develeopment team for rest of the things like XPMOD etc.

I'm happy that this community has XeeleeFlower. It is always a pleasure to read Xeelee's posts and I think contributions like this thread are more important to a small community like ESOC than people may realize.

I already pre-ordered, so please don't consider me for the little lottery.

[ROCK]

A very nice initiative :).The community has made me meet lot of people and made my years joyful by playing with them. Thank you :)

[HUMMAN]

I appereciate @deleted_user4 and his existence in the community.

[chris1089]

@BrookG has been very friendly both playing games with me back in the day and giving me advice since I took up being a mod.

[TNT333]

Thanks to everyone in the community, you guys are really special to me. Ever since I was a kid I loved aoe3 and finding out about esoc and similar people who also loved the game, I was thrilled!! I'd like to specially thank @Challenger_Marco for inviting me to his discord and introducing me to amazing people like RDX, Ungurs, Ace, etc., also thanks to @Cometk for his highly entertaining walls of texts, as well as his use of the English language(I topped English in school, I know what I'm saying). Also thanks to all the pros who keep this amazing game highly entertaining with new strats, and to the map makers for their contributions to this game. @deleted_user4 for being another great and funny person, really love your sense of humor. Floko, nick and lukas, the treaty gods who helped me improve my treaty gameplay, Garja for his Aztec guide which boosted me to pr20, and because he is Garja.Also Ear who I will continue to support till he becomes a mod. Really just wanna say that everyone in the community is amazing, keep it up guys.

[aligator92]

I am just gonna link viewtopic.php?p=469409#p469409 and also mention @Garja for creating the first ESOC maps and accepting his fate as the most persistent meme on this forum.
Also, october 12th is actually my birthday xD
As I surely cannot run DE, please just donate the money to ESOC if I am picked.

[Victor_swe]

My birthday is october 11th. So im older than you hah!

Is it possible to gift games internationally? I think steam restricts that. The reason being that, for example, you pay four dollars in turkey for the game. If everyone paid 4 dollars, there would be no way for the game to make a profit.
In my country, the game costs 24 dollars.

I would suggest gifting the games to players from developing countries. Maybe Indians they have it rough already with the coronavirus raging through the country. Also, if you give if to a player from a developing country, you can gift the game to 6 players instead of 1 player.

You might be able to gift money through steam so they can go and buy age three definitive edition with the money you give them.

I have the suspicion that you are older than me no matter which day your birthday is on

I think that what I most appreciate about the community is the positivity - yes there’s a vocal negative minority. But, the majority of ESOC’s population is positive. They enjoy the game, they enjoy posting about the game, and their positivity and welcoming attitudes is what drew us all here in the first place - to the point that even if someone makes an account for one day to ask help for even just one issue, they normally get helped within minutes. Would a community that doesn’t care about other people do that? I don’t think so :)

It’s proof that this is still a good place to be. Credit is due to the mods, the EP devs, the map devs etc who’s hard work we benefit from constantly, and who take our occasional (lol) complaining in their stride. Credits due to the average ESOC civilians, without their posts and game chat this would be a pretty quiet place. Any time I’ve made a thread about the game, despite it being a 15yr old game people reply and discuss away almost instantly. And credits also due to the lurkers - they may not post much on the forum, but they love the game still and help to keep it going. In many ways, everyone’s continued love for the game has convinced Microsoft that it’s worthwhile making a DE!

I don’t need the gifted game, but I just think threads like this is a good opportunity to remind ourselves that this is still a good place :)

Oof, I didn't even think of that. I suppose if the winner is in a location that doesn't allow me to gift them the game, I can send a gift card instead...?

[Challenger_Marco]

Ye gift card works ,1 guy sent me a gift card from usa to india.

[Le Hussard sur le toit]

I want to shout out to @Mitoe for being great at everything and nice to everyone.

I want to thank @dansil92 for his amazing work on maps.

I want to praise the light side of @Diarouga for helping us noobs with strategic considerations (your vids were super nice too !)


(Also as a PhD student I'm super rich so don't include me in the competition. Just wanted to collaborate to the general wholesomeness and positivity of ESO !)

Yes, that should work.

1) You must have a Steam account
2) You must be willing to share your steam account with me so that I may gift it to you if you are chosen
3) You must post in this thread something either positive about this community or an individual in this community

1) I have a Steam Account
2) I'm not willing to share my steam account with you and I don't want your gift
3) I just want to take advantage of this moment to say that since I let @jesus3 get into my heart my life changed for good, and now i'm happier than ever before. He told me he loves Kanye's music just as much as Kanye loves Kanye.

[harcha]

itt: ppl spamming their "thanks" while not even participating in the giveaway. rude af ngl

Also thanks to everyone who keeps posting interesting stuffs on the forum and supporting the development of my involuntary habit to check the forum for new posts. Also I've already preordered, I think that goes for most of the ppl you'll find on this forum.

[Lurker]

I'd like to thank the ESO community for keeping the aoe3 scene alive for a long period of time, and specially big thanks to the amazing players bringing new life in the already determined pvp meta, and as well thanks to Eaglemut for guiding me to the right people when I needed them the most.

That's unusual. Aren't PhD students usually paid the minimum salary ?

[sebnan12]

I think he was being sarcastic
The second part is definitely serious (him not wanting/needing the key).
