Thats right, AOE is going the MMO way. At first I was worried. I though this would turn into something like Farmville or Travian where all you have to do is click on a few things every 24 hours. Thankfully, this is not the case.

The MMO part just has some persistent online stuff. PvP gameplay is not clear yet. But one good thing is that your base/cities won't be destroyed if you forget to log in for a few day.:clap:

Anyway, here are some gameplay videos

Great AOE FTW
Used to play AOE on Lan in College .... Long games 4 vs 4 :p .....

In office so cant see links... Is it like WOW ?
 
It's a proper RTS, but can only be played online. The MMO aspects of it are not clear yet. They haven't explained how other players will affect your game. The only thing they have said is that you can trade with them.

Also, the art style is interesting. It's been lifted straight from Zeus:master of Olympus.
