Find old Age of Empires II friends & teammates
Age of Empires II (AoE2) lobbies on the MSN Gaming Zone and beyond were where clans formed and rivalries simmered over countless team games. Post the nickname and the zone or clan you played to find an old teammate.
Often it isn't the game you lost — it's the MSN, AIM or Xfire that shut down, the old forum or IRC channel that got deleted, the Skype or ICQ that no longer exists, the TeamSpeak, Ventrilo or Mumble server whose IP stopped working. Usually a nickname is all that's left — and that's enough to start.
Post what you remember
The nickname or character name, the lobbies and clans, and roughly which years — small clues are often enough.
The community helps
Anyone can share your post or recognise the player. A Cores bounty rewards whoever makes the connection.

Finding old Age of Empires II friends — FAQ
How do I find someone I used to play Age of Empires II with?
Create a wanted post with the Age of Empires II nickname or character name you remember, plus the lobbies and clans and roughly which years you played. The post is public and searchable, so anyone who recognises the player — including the person themselves — can respond.
I only remember their username — is that enough?
Often, yes. A distinctive Age of Empires II username plus the server and era is frequently enough for someone to recognise. Add any memory you have (a guild, a team, an inside joke) to improve the odds.
Is it free to post?
Posting is free. You attach a bounty in Cores — XCORE.GG's internal points — which is paid out to whoever helps you reconnect. Cores are not money and cannot be withdrawn.
