In a phone interview with Bigdownload, A Microsoft spokesperson revealed that Age of Empires Online will be completely free to play with hundreds of mission and content available for everyone. The game will instead sell Premium Packs that will give players access to the entire tech tree, increased inventory space and access to more powerful gear for your units. There will also be smaller booster packs that will give players new missions and ‘additional game features’. Similar to the traditional Free2Play MMO model of selling booster packs and vanity items. Robot Entertainment(former Ensemble Studio staff) are developing AoE online to be similar to Age of Empire 3 with each player having their own home city and a lot more emphasis on playing missions with friends. Two civilizations confirmed for now, the Greeks and the Egyptians. It’s currently in closed beta, and will be available later this year. Oh and it requires GamesForWindowsLive client.
