Well, I have been playing the Age series since Rise of Rome. I played that, AoE2, and The Conquerors for 100s, probobly over 1000 hours. If anyone could somehow give me their alpha copy if they arn't going to play it it would be greatly apriciated. I am sure there are plenty of people clamoring for it to so I doubt anyone will give it to me. But there is no harm in asking.

lol.. alpha era of AoMH forums passes the "anxiety period" and reaches the "desperation period". by analyzing historical data, i'm pretty sure the next step is "senseless mass destruction period".
Mr_floopy4, i am wondering WHY would some1 subscribe to a (buggy, crashy, 'incomplete', bla bla bla, etc.) alpha testing and then does not play it??
ps: The_Avenger772, i totally agree with you ;o)

you would be surprised. Most people who get betas don't play more than a few games and then they are gone for good. Of course those sorts of people don't frequent forums either.

A couple of things:
1. Icebrain, not everyone who got the alpha actually applied for it. The MVP selections were made from the user list at AOKH/AOMH. So people got selected whether they had applied or not. I know of at least two people who were selected, but have no plans to play the alpha.
2. Floppy, you might want to post this at AOKH as well. Since the two forums share a user list, some people who aren't interested in AOM and haven't signed up at this forum are receiving the alpha.
Of course, you probably should have done that when the MVP emails first went out, since even the MVPs had to enter information after they were selected. So some MVPs probably didn't bother if they weren't interested.

No one will give you a copy Mr_Floppy4. I don't think ES would allow it without their consent.

The MVP selections
It's VIP.

I missed the sign up. But got the "MVP" selection.
