I would LOVE to see Age of Empires return back to the scene. For me, that game was one of the best PC strategy games that one could play. However, the developers couldn't catch up with the technology that was advancing at the speed of light. Still, many people think that this is the one game that shaped PC strategy games! Till the very moment, I still play that game, but because the multiplayer server was shut down, I had to use some third-party websites to play multiplayer and I was shocked by the large numbers of people still playing!
Of the entire series, AOE The Asian Dynasties was my favorite, as it had the best graphics. However, I still like and play The Conquerors, as it embarked my love for the series.
The AOE online was not comparable to the rest of the series though, it was not even equivalently good in any possible way! It was a failure which sealed the faith of the beloved series. As written on the game's website on the game's final day, "All good things must come to an end, and that time has come for Age of Empires Online,"
I truly miss this game, and wish it would return. Any AOE fans here?
