No. You obviously don't play on the net. There're still plenty of regulars playing every night on the Zone.
I know lots of people in RTWH are reading this, and those who aren't noobs like ace_general, who registered only a few months ago, should know that I played RTW and posted a lot there in the past. It is a great game and great games don't fade away. If you like RTW (I do), do you want it to die out 5 years down the road? Only idiots who don't know how to appreciate the beauty of a game they like do that.
Anyway, like CBH, old forums like AoEH have produced a community of good friends dedicated to the game. Reason why CH was closed was because there was zero activity in every forum, the Seraph ET has been hospitalised for a few months already, and the regulars either don't post there or had nothing to say.
A few months ago I saw a post by Jayhawk (in OD or somewhere), replying to a dumb thread like this one. He said that CBH is still intact because he likes the forum. Coming from there, I like it too. AoEH's the same. They're both nice, friendly, mature, and don't produce noobs and smurfs like RTWH.
I love RTW, but reason why I make only 1 or 2 posts per day now in RTWH is because I've seen lots of stupid people and stupid posts in RTW. I'll laugh my ass off when its closed in 5 years' time, while AoEH lasts into its 13th year.
