Anyone here still playing? What can we do to drum up more attention?

I am the only other person on this board who ever gave a shit about Online. I'm sorry, it is time to let go.

I love the core gameplay and all the units and civs and the general music is 10/10 but I absolutely can't stand the battle music that forcefully plays with every civ on every battle it's just a chore to listen to.

No one is poor enough to be unable to afford AOE2DE. Online has no reason to exist.

AoEO has working pathfinding, fully unique rosters and soundtracks for all civs, etc.
The only people playing AoE2DE are thirdies whose childhood was spent being too poor to get a PC capable of playing 3D games.

AoEO is free so you have even less of an excuse to not play the best AoE.

It was in the steam top 10 from it's launch to it's shutdown. It's actually really good. Everything is free now on the private server and they added new content.

I find that really hard to believe. If it was the case, a lot more people would have came back to the game when project celeste started. I have entered the discord of PjCeleste and they say they literally have around 200 daily unique players. No, not 200 peak simuntaneous playercount, but LITERALLY ONLY TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME at different times during the day.
I even would play it if it had an average of 1k playercount like AoE1 or something. Because I actually played a little bit the original one and Celeste seems to be so much better. But the playerbase is so low that you probably are going to be in trouble to find a game unless you are constantly asking on discord for someone else to queue when you want to play

Anon, we're talking about the Steam playerbase. They probably don't know what a file is, let alone being able to find out about a real PC game you need to download from a dedicated fan site and install by yourself.

The stats they're citing are for the biggest RTS on Steam (not biggest game), though. I remember the BiliBili video that charted it.
