  CD-ROM Matchmaking To Be Retired on MSN Games

Age of Empires matchmaking on MSN Games has been retired – thank you so much for playing!

We’d like to offer a big “thank-you!” to everyone who has played and enjoyed Age of Empires and Age of Empires II on MSN Games. Some of the top players in the world have challenged each other here, and we’re proud to have facilitated those games.

As of June 19, 2006, we have retired our CD-ROM matchmaking service. You can continue your online multi-player matchmaking experience through GameSpy.

For more information on Age of Empires III and other new games from Ensemble Studios, please see the Ensemble Studios website.
