Hey new to this site, kinda. I used to be a member years ago. I have been playing AOM since it came out. I am 28 years old. I work for an IT company and I got my hands on a hp ml350 g5 server. I am wondering how many people still play. I want to turn the server into a dedicated AOM Server. I hope I am not out of line by making this forum. If so I am sorry. I would like to get an idea of how many people would be interested in this. Feel free to comment.

I am playing the Extended Edition online all the time on steam. Why do you need a server? The game is still supported.

Part of it is I have 7 or so old college friends who have the old extended edition and I have a server sitting in my house I am trying to find something to use it for. Can you play custom maps on the steam version? And do they still have a ranking system like they did in the old days?

Old extended edition? Aom on Steam still has the ranking system, and yes you can use the custom maps on the Steam version. The others will simply get a prompt to download it. You can create a server for the Old Aom I guess, but there are still people using the voobly.
