| Rediscovered this game a year ago, and am absolutely loving it. The r/aoe2 community is also generally welcoming and helpful. |

| I also really like to play 0 A.D. Similar game but open source, looks great, frequently updated, runs on Win, Mac, Linux. https://play0ad.com/ |

| It's kind of crazy how nice people in multiplayer are. Nobody says anything about my mother or what kind of content I'm downloading to cause lag. Everyone's got the personality of, like, a chill dad now. People are more interested in a good game than just winning. It's really nice. The other day, I was playing a noob game where one opponent on the other team was way better than the rest of us and rushed. His own team came down on him after. |

| ▲ | tomwojcik an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Maybe because most of them actually are chill dads! See this one of the top posts by score on r/aoe2 https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/s/X7TgxJetMp I am a chill dad and I rediscovered aoe2 a few months ago, after being addicted to Age of Mythology. Previously it was Songs of Syx, Foundation, Farthest Frontier... I think we're just a different type of gamers. | |
| ▲ | its_magic 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I don't play a lot of games but one thing I've noticed over the years is that the best games with the best communities are more niche. Like Xonotic for instance. It has a fair number of players; there's always at least one or two servers going in the evening. Everyone is friendly to each other. I've never seen any kind of trash talking in there. Same with other games like Quake etc which are long past their heyday. Wherever the masses are, that's where the toxic assholes are. When they move on, things just get a lot better. | | |
