Age of Empires :International Gaming Zones

1.What is International Gaming Zones?
IGZ or International Gaming Zone provides a client oriented method to play many online games(including Age of Empires).

2.How to Play Age of Empires?
First and foremost you need to sign up for an account with International Gaming Zones.Then you need to download the client.

3.Joining a game
After downloading the client provided from International Gaming Zones just connect using your username and pwd.Then join a lobby of your choice according to the type of game you want to play(RM,DM or CS).After you have joined a lobby,you will see many players already playing a game or waiting to launch a game.You can join any game of choice or host a game by clicking on quick host.

4.Ranking
When you start playing on International Gaming Zones you are given 1600 points.As you keep on losing or winning games points are added or subtracted according to the rating calculator.As you can see,different points are given for different types of games.The Best player in IGZ currently is L_Clan_Chris with 2504 points.

5.Connection Problems
Common connection problems encountered are
a)Firewall Problems:-If you have this type of problem then you cannot even connect to the International Gaming Zones.To tackle this check the ISP to see if it has an integrated firewall.If yes then disable it by contacting the ISP.Some anti-virus also consist of firewalls which can be configured in order to allow International Gaming Zones manually.

b)Launching Problems:-This problem occurs when you press the launch button of a game or when the game is not launched.It occurs due to non registered version of AoE or older version of AoE.Download the latest version of AoE i.e. AoE1.0e and launch the SETUPREG.EXE file to register the Age of Empires to your computer.

c)Unable to connect:-This problem occurs when the router through which you connect blocks the ports required open by Age of Empires.To solve this problem you need to know something called as port forwarding. You need to specifically know your router name and model to perform this.Once you get this info then go to portforward.comand identify your router model.Then select Age of Empires II and do as said by the site to open the specific ports.

d)Lag:-Lag either occurs due to a slow internet connection or busy connection due to downloading.Do not download anything else while playing and close unnecessary processes to tackle this problem.

e)Connection lost:-While playing the game might hang and you get disconnected to the other players.You should always choose the option save n exit or else you will lose points.This happens when you have lost your internet connection in between.

6.Why is it better than hamachi?
Unlike hamachi where you need to connect to a specific server to play a game,International Gaming Zones allows you simultaneous access to many lobbies.Also you can join a game of your choice and play with players of your level.The popularity of IGZ has steadily increased over the previous years with more than 1000 players playing at peak hours.

Any more queries regarding International Gaming Zones are most invited.

  2. "e)Connection lost:-While playing the game might hang and you get disconnected to the other players.You should always choose the option save n exit or else you will lose points.This happens when you have lost your internet connection in between."

    That is not true, you always have to click "continue game", no matter what happens
    Check http://www.igzones.com/banningrating-policies

    "-> Refusing to continue (on the voting screen after a player disconnects) (-150 points):: Refusing to continue: The act of holding a game at the voting screen (for a period of 5 mins or more) by either forcing all players to save and exit or resign in an effort to avoid a loss. This is done by picking save and exit or wait instead of continue. Proof = Screen Shot of voting screen (using www.fraps.com) and recorded game.
    .:: If there is no match link, then provide screenshot from rated room, so we can clearly see that the game was played in IGZones, preferably before the lobby is resumed or request the assistance of a moderator while the game is still in play and who can verify the game was rated. A warning can be copy and pasted from the moderator to the game screen in order to achieve a resolution::."
