Is AoE III DE dying

[TheLiberator236]

We should help the game in somewhat of crowdfunding tournaments, promotions or something
To show Microsoft, Worlds Edge, Tantalus and Forgotten Empires, that we the community love and care about AOE 3

Esoc events are crowdfunded/ boosted by subs. Probably the closest thing we have to a premier league. There are often several smaller events going on at any time; Freefoodparty is doing a revolt only event for example. Esoc autumn event to kick off september 6th but unless you follow Esoc no way of knowing this.

However, there is no promotion of these events via WE so its only through word of mouth which means a lot of people will not even know about it. I wish they would at least allow some promotion on the steam page

The management has no idea what the game is about or what is going on with it. They just follow some basic routines indifferently while they clearly show passion for the other games.

I don’t know if that’s true. The visual updates they did last year were amazing and completely free, and no one really asked for them as far as I could tell. The devs seemingly just did it out of their own passion for the game and its time period.

[ArrivedLeader22]

That was a long-requested feature though, but it is true it’s not anything urgent or essential.

Shame that the company gives zero acknowledgement to such dedication.

My guess is the devs working on aom is the same group of people working on aoe3, so they are busy with aom

[Dubycapbra]

People already know that for more than a year lol a bit of a late guess

The developers did that, not Microsoft or World’s Edge. And even then the last update was in January if I’m not mistaken.

Is AoE III DE dying?

The game is as alive as a newly reanimated zombie.

Yes, a few days ago the Spring Championship matches were uploaded on ESOC TV…It can’t be that it costs them so much to announce this on social networks…

that’s true, but wouldn’t they need permission from the higher ups to do that? They could have made the devs allocate that time and resources to other projects, but instead they let AOEIII have the content.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of hoping the higher ups care about this game. Even making it free to play felt like a way of diverting attention from it.

They put out an official notice on the Official AOE Discord about the upcoming ESOC Tournament today. There is still support for this game and community at WE and Microsoft, even if it feels sparse. Just have a little more patience; we know goodies are coming.
