Empireslegacy.com is the new matchmaking service that's being developed by programmers and players, and even programmers that play!!!
It will support: Age of Empires, Age of Empires: RoR, Age of Empires II: AoK, Age of Empires II: TC.
It is a chat lobby server, that WILL launch your games just like in the zone. That's their main goal.
They are trying to be the biggest server there is, already joined forces with huge sites like DesignPlanet, XFG, vGo, aocgroup argentina, and ansego.
More are sponsoring the project.
Only the 3rd day since its launch and it has over 700 members.
Join now and help out by joining the contests for designing the applications and websites, great prizes too.
They estimate their release in June 1, a few weeks before Zone CD-ROM closes.
