I am an Age of Empires player from way back. I still remember creating an AOE level called Robin Hood that some German company took and put on a disc and sold worldwide. I didn’t even get a thank you, let alone a copy of the disc. Bastards. But that is a story for a podcast. Fast forward 14 years later and I am still excited about a new iteration of AOE. Turns out its some kind of mashed together RPG, MMO, RTS strapped onto a flight simulator. Hoochee mama, sign me up!

Age of Empires Online effectively infuses its conventional real-time strategy gameplay with massively multiplayer online-style loot and leveling mechanics.
