Answer 1

Age of Kings was available to play online against fellow gamers on the Microsoft Gaming Network, so that you could test your wits against other gamers. It was a very popular game having figures of over 100 people in a room at any one time constantly. Gamers had created their own Custom Scenarios to which they would challenge other gamers to pit their wits against each other. Scenarios such as Castle Blood Auto, Soldier Store, Empire, Radical Blood and Archers Advance.

After many successful years on the MSN Gaming Zone, however, as of June 2006, the Microsoft Zone retired from hosting games, which left a great number of players disappointed. Gamespy was proclaimed as the official successor of the Microsoft Zone, however it was soon realized that not many players decided to join Gamespy. Instead two prominent websites were advertised in the Zone game rooms: Empires Legacy, and Gamepark. After a huge "battle", Gamepark managed to get more players and in the end the two websites agreed that Empires Legacy would link to Gamepark. Gamepark has at any given time about 100 players playing Age of Kings (however up to 1000 players can be found playing Age of Conquerors), equaling the Zone in popularity; Microsoft, though, still supports Gamespy. Other matchmaking AOE clients are, the fully operational GamePark Client, and the soon to be finished IGZ Client.
