The release of the Summer Update has been confirmed as June 12th

This is the one that will make the game fully free to play. You earn Empire points by playing and these will be used to purchase content - civs, boosters, etc.

Full details and patch notes here.

The "Summer update" went up over the weekend and there are a few issues.

Hopefully they are sorted soon.

The new Alliance Wars is pretty cool though.

The second patch since the "Summer Update" went out atthe beginning of the week. I've only played a few quests so far, but it does seem to have fixed the majority of issues.

Ace.

Babylon civ and Fretile Cresent booster pack are now available. The Anniversary update is pretty cool.

The game has now been out a year, unfortunately it suffers from low player numbers.

You can now also get AoEO avatar gear (a step towards Windows 8).
