Well just wondering.i've been playing since december of 1997 when AOE came out,good thing i got it for christmas.I was still wondering whether or not to buy civ2 and i just walked right past AOE.As for ROR,i just shrugged it off after learning only 5 techs,5 units,a few maps,and 4 civs were added,and a couple of minor changes.I only got it after it went on sale,and again i praise my luck for that sale,it was worth it after all!

I've been playing AOE since November '97. Been playing it ever since and I'm still not bored yet.

From my poll (121 answers of skilled players). The poll is still going on.
Question 1: When did you start playing the Age of Empires series games?
8% Before October 1997
22% October - December 1997
19% January - May 1998
21% June - September 1998
16% October - December 1998
13% Year 1999
In other words half of the players that consider themselves skilled have started before June 1998.

I started around April 98. My cousin downloaded the trial version and then bought the full version. He got me addicted . It's worse the cocain! Oh well, I got RoR first! :P!
December 98. didnt start doing MP on regular basis until May. How bad is a 14 minute Bronze anyway?

I'm not too certain but I believe I purchased AoE in either Nov 97 or Jan 97. I still remember my first games were with Dave (Vodka_A), Hunter (an old aoler friend) and Thrall (loses to me in war2 commonly =D). I remember the transition between AoE and War2 was difficult at first for me and my games usually had clubbers all over the place (GOD, I was AWESOME back then *sarcasm*). I also remember making huge booklets of War2 strats, hehe. Once I got AoE rolling one or two months later Dave would CONSTANTLY complain about me getting starcraft. It would be like:
Day 1 Dave: "So Tura you got starcraft yet?"
Day 2 Dave: "So Tura you got starcraft yet?"
Day 3 Dave: "So Tura you got starcraft yet?"
Get the point? I think he's less annoying now though, just for the record
