Unfortunately I play TAD+TWC but I'm sure you'll find plenty of vanilla players if you look hard enough.

Giskard: BrianManahan = Tsar_Ivan_VII. It's no longer a question.
Giskard: Isn't BrianManahan liable to be banned anyway for being the smurf of a banned forumer (Tsar_Ivan_VII)?
BrianManahan: I'm not sure who that is, Giskard, but I see what you is trying to do. I don't smurf >:O

Quite a few vanilla players still, but for the most part the competitive players have moved on to TAD.

Welcome to Age of Empires 3 Heaven, RealmHunta!

I swear these forums are as far from dying as they've ever been, the new forumers are coming in in droves.

Don't be such a pessimist dude
Look at the glass half full
In the future these new forumers can get better and then make more informed posts.

Cool, I'm impressed that there are quite a few people still playing vanilla around here!

To summarize, here's a list of everyone who has replied so far, including current 1v1 ELO/PR rating to get a rough estimate of skill level.
AoE3H user - ESO user - ELO/PR

somme - Pcfreak8 - 2170.0/30.8
droideka_11 - CPC - 1912.1/24.8
Malavir - Captain_Malavir - 1764.5/19.6
Vive Le Roi - HG_Ichbinian - 1691.6/15.2
Arcane Ranger - Arcane_Ranger - 1767.1/14.0
Jamtheman - Jambon - 1657.9/8.3
RealmHunta - RealmHunta - 1701.3/14.0
Thrar - Thrar - 2028.9/24.9

For the newcomers, don't take these points too seriously, they change all the time anyway (just look at the inconsistency between PR and ELO).

PC's PR is only as low as it is because he's decayed.

I'm not that great either (rank wise), cause over half of those games were me in my nooby days playing "nr" games.

Droideka, I'll convert from being an atheist to a Christian (no offense intended at anyone) if some new forumer becomes as godly as Ender Ward or someone of that level.
