Hello!
The title is a bit wrong because the game's never been Pay to Play before.
A better suited title would be: “Age of Empires Online” Game has been released as Free to Play".
Just pointing it out. :)
And about the game, I played it for a while, encountered some limits like:
- Can't equip some Uncommon / Rare items.
- Can't make ranked pvp matches. No big issue here, can still pvp unranked as free account.
Other than that, the game is very enjoyable at best, I like it. Oh...and the graphics are nice! Cute I would say.
