Guest Gaminglord28 Posted August 11, 2011 Has AoEO been released or only beta still? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crixler Posted August 11, 2011 It's being released on the 16th, but some people got early entrance into the game, distinct from beta. Plasticcaz (Oops, I mean Plastic, as he goes by here) I think had his access given to him by someone who somehow got 2 access codes, some people had to enter contests, and then there were a few people that didn't even really do anything specific and just got in automatically, like me. No clue why. ... Earlier, I said I wasn't really feeling Egypt all that much, but I think it's starting to grow on me. I'll be focusing on Greeks though, since I preordered the retail package. And @Plastic Yeah, I haven't seen you on there yet when I've been on, but I have seen a bunch of the big names around, it makes me feel small. XD hahaha. But yeah, I sent you a friend request! You should totally accept it, so I can do the visit a friend quest, since my beta buddies (alliteration ftw!) didn't get into the pre-release. And stuff.

Guest Plastic Posted August 13, 2011 @ Crixler: I'm in Australia, so if you're in another place (such as America) you may not be on at the same time as me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crixler Posted August 13, 2011 Yup, I'm in America. And yeah, I realize that haha. One of my really good friends is in Australia, don't get to talk to her all that much. Time zones are lame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandalore 61 Posted August 14, 2011 I might play it, I'm not sure. It's a good idea, but I wish there more civs available at the start (I think there should be Roman as well as the others). And paying for AI skirmishes isn't great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crixler Posted August 14, 2011 Roman's will probably come eventually. But I love having tons of civs available to me, so yeah, I agree that more would be nice. But each civ is pretty expansive (that was not a pun-ish typo!), so as long as you're not one of those freaky hardcore players who plays 24/7, you should be able to focus on one civ at a time, and you might not even really notice you've only got 2 options to start with. By the time I'm done with Greece and Egypt, the Celts and Persians will probably be out. The highest level I reached in the beta was about 27. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandalore 61 Posted August 14, 2011 Cool. I'm probably gonna mainly go with Greeks, if I do play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Plastic Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah, I reckon the game is worth a go, especially since you don't have to pay for anything. Paying has it's upsides of course, but it's pretty good even without paying in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paying has it's upsides of course, but it's pretty good even without paying in my opinion. Many ftp MMOs are fun without paying but are unfair towards free players. There are some really good ones though (LotRO and DDO for example) so maybe AoEO will do ftp right? We'll just have to wait and see... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crixler Posted August 16, 2011 Ingame chat has exploded with the release! Looking forward to picking up my retail box in the morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Plastic Posted August 16, 2011 Game has launched! It's worth a try, so I'd suggest you download it if you are an AOE fan, or like RTS's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
