Age Of Empires Online Now Completely Free To Play - Except Microtransactions


Which makes their previous insistence that it's free to play rather confusing. Gas Powered Games, the developer behind Age of Empires Online, initially released new civilizations as paid content while 2 basic civilisations we always free for everyone. Eric Williamsontold, design lead said "We probably turned off a lot of players who would’ve kept playing had they been given the option to earn a Premium Civilization". Free to play now is still a misnomer, as Gas Powered Games now has made all content and civs available for everyone, except a lot of items are now available in the in game store. You use Empire points to purchase stuff and to entice new users, they are giving out 100 Empire points for newcomers. You can get Age of Empires Online here.
