Man why all the hate towards Voobly? So what if they ask for 30 bucks/year for gold membership. These guys been with AOC and have continuously updated AOC features..Some of which I have disagreed with but in long-term have worked out great for the community. The whole staff at Voobly should be thanked for keeping AOC alive not attacked. Steam offers a pretty simple and interesting matchmaking system but it's far from perfect. I say far because it's exactly as Elusive said, the team that created this HD remake will be assigned a different project. Even if they create a legit matchmaking system, Voobly will be 2 steps ahead of them. Why? Because Voobly actually gives a **** about AOC. Look at how many improvements we have had through Voobly and what have we received from MS let alone any other client? GR offers simple gaming as will Steam, but Voobly takes it up a notch because their team reviews community comments and comes back stronger with the updates/features/patches. Last thing you want to do is give Voobly the image of being a villain of AOC because through my eyes, Voobly is a ****ing hero. What I hope Steam does is introduce more players to the game and market AOC the way it should be since Voobly is financial incapable of doing so. However we as a community should not bitch about 30 dollars for premium/reso patches. If you can use a computer then you should be able to generate 30 damn dollars for Voobly and for the community. You feed Steam you will get bones in return. You feed Voobly and all will eat.
