Sorta true although I don't see why playing for rating wouldn't be classified as "fun"?community should follow where the best players are, where are them? on voobly, but why there is no 5k players on voobly then? becouse players of the other clients are usually random noobs, they dont care about top players and probably dont have the desire of becoming really good, they play it for fun, with friends, so why would they move to a ranked place with alot of competitivity and bad people?
Almost everyone on GR and Voobly is playing AoE to win games. May aswell do it rated, right?
I'm using both clients, although I definitely prefer Voobly.
Rating, more and better (active) people. Being able to see countries is a plus aswell. A (way) bigger forum than on GR. It has almost everything GR has and more.
