I like Age of Empires Online

[:1]I really like this game.

I like ...
upgrading my gear
opening the chests
leveling up
thinking about the tech tree
building my home city
the graphic style
playing multiplayer
how new players are introduced by the missions to RTS concepts and tactics
improving my buildorders
adapting the buildorder to the quests and my techtree
playing an unranked game and winning versus a higher level opponent
improving my timing
reaching for a higher score in defense of crete
exploring the world

I will like ...
playing pvp at level 40 while ever looking to optimize my gear
choosing new civs and leveling them as well (I just love the little boxes)
exploring new content

I do not like ...
waiting too long for a multiplayer or a coop game
strict NAT warning

I think the game will be even better with ...
replays
better matching (faster global matchmaking)
auction house
less lag in some matches
skirmish modes

But I enjoy this game right now. Keep up the good work!|||Me too. A lot ;)

I agree, especially with the strict NAT thing. I have a fine internet connection, i can play almost allgames with it, but AoEO wont let me play with everyone. I dont know if this is a problem from their side, but i know many are having issues with connections to each other, so i really hope someone looks into it if possible.

This game is good, but not perfect. I really hope it just had an early start, but will catch up sometime "soon".

|||+1|||What a refreshingly positive post in a sea of adversity: thanks for that! This is a good post - useful remarks with likes and dislikes.
|||The NAT problem isn't purely the games fault unfortunately, well from what I can guess. I used to have a problem with it on myXboxparticularlyplaying Halo 3, it takes quite a bit of messing to fix it and some guides are not always helpful at fixing it, but it can be fixed withpatienceand common sense :)|||i agree with your list
|||My husband and I are enjoying it too. Of course we have moments it is very frustrating, but this is the real world, populated by imperfect people (all of us) and imperfect situations. So far we haven't encountered anything worth giving up on the game for.|||

i can help with your nat if you want. it's easy, but could be harmfull if you dont have a secure computer

great to hear you like the game though :D

likewise

add in voice party chat

taunts (quick text messages)

sandbox mode (private matches, custom rules, cheats allowed)

faster gameplay

a complete game, with 1 reasonable price

|||Its great to hear someone that has a positive thing to say, and imo the bug fixes must be on its way, and I'm happy to say that i ave encountered few to none errors ;)
|||

I like this game too.

But I think a great portion of the game and marketing was mismanaged that it has hurt the community by driving lot of people away.

|||I'm really enjoying this game too!

Little problems but nothing big enough to bother me.
