I started in May 2008.
First game I played was TG Arabia.. I made a lot of spears around my base, thinking that I am fully protected no matter whats coming... but when it came, it was a big fail.. :lol:
2010
I was actually looking for ways to play counter strike online.
after i found it, I was like, hey if I can play CS online and so can
age of empires as a side game too.
then some months later, I quitted CS and became full time Aoc player.
2009, 2 years on GR and 1 year voobly now
I still have some of my first games played online xD
I like looking back at them and seeing that I've improved since the days of 1tc, 40 vills and 45 min imps
2007, when I found out that GR was made available for windows. I miss the days where I could say "brb, dinner" mid-game, and come back 30 minutes later, without my town being destroyed and our team still having a fighting chance to win the game.
I guess it was 2000. I never played the campaigns or anything, just against the AI and online from the start. I played ror DM cho wars online for about a year, and finally got aoc in early 2001. I probably spent more time playing ror in that one year than I have aoc in the next 11 years. I was actually pretty decent at it too, but recorded games and AI scripting were more interesting than actually playing the game at the time. This is the reason why I still suck at aoc today.
1998, some friends did a LAN of aoe I didnt get to play in but they loved it and talked about it all the time, so we all bought it. we played IP games, then RoR came out and we continued. When AoK came out I had it pre ordered and went on the MSN gaming zone right way. Has AoC pre-ordered too^^
Started AoE in 99 offline (i would of been 8-9 years old). Started AOK in 2002 offline. Started AOC online in 2004 as a CS player. Started playing regular Rm in 2010.
I'd never owned any Age of Empires game until 2011 when my friend lent me a copy, though I'd played at friends plenty times. Hearing about Voobly on Mr Danish's Youtube channel let me play a 2v2 with my house mates and now I use it to keep in touch with some old friends.
I saw aoc for the first time on my friends computer around FeB 2009. My immediate reaction after looking at farms was wtf is this **** :P.
After that I was doing a night out for an exam in his room and I got bored in the middle of night, So I opened aoc and played 1v1 against easy comp for 3hrs 11111. Thats how I made the biggest mistake of my life :P
I started playing on voobly last yr when I was at home .I played most of my games on my Uni lan(single digit ping ftw).
1 april , 2011.....i started aoc and i was so scred to attack anyone those days.i dont know why.lol
never attacked my enemy for like 2 months since i started playing and never made more than 40-50 vills from one tc.... i was like......no new tc ...no blacksmith upgrades....no lumber upgrade nothing...after like 2 months someone told me what is the use of blacksmith and about upgrades :S
when i started taking it seriously....
i really enjoyed AOC ....since i started learning it.......trying new tactics and all.,,,my rating was around 13xx
THEN i found NOA and that realllllllly helped me a lot.....damnnn i really love NOA <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
i remember a random game on zone 1v1 iike year 2002 and after getting easily beat by my oppanant he suggested playing a game specifically to help and instruct me. He told me to build more than one town centre as thats all i used to do, and then said i should put farms round them all as i always used to settle with just 6ish farms. obviously this changed the whole game for me and i never looked back. Would love to have that game on record so i could watch it back and see what he said. would be so nice to have my LAN recorded games form ten years ago to look back and see how bad i was.
i would be interested to know how far back people have recorded games of themselves and how noob they were!?
Bah...old ppl! I started march(?) 2011. I still remember how proudly i went to play my first game since "i could beat a moderate computer" believing that would make me an average player 11. 14xx skill ftw 20 vills all game and 5 knights to kill opponent! 11 Great times :D
