What is Voobly?
Voobly is an online gaming platform launched in 2007 that focuses on classic real-time strategy (RTS) games. It allows users to easily find opponents and play multiplayer matches of games like Age of Empires II, Rise of Nations, and Warcraft III.
Some key features of Voobly include:
- Multiplayer lobbies and matchmaking system to find opponents of similar skill levels
- Global and local rankings and elo rating system to track players' skills
- Tournaments and leagues with cash prizes and expert commentary
- Game statistics and analysis tools to review match replays
- Active community forums and clan system to engage with other players
- Anti-cheating measures through game moderation tools
- Support for user-created game mods and custom scenarios
By focusing solely on classic RTS titles and building features tailored to those communities, Voobly has become the go-to platform for players still engaged with older games like Age of Empires II. It has succeeded in extending the lifespan of games that are no longer supported by their original developers.
