Member Pluses are people who are available to help with problems on Voobly; problems may include harassment and offensive language. Member Pluses are identifiable in game rooms by the plus (+) sign next to their name. They are there to make sure Voobly is a fun place for people of all ages. Member Pluses have the authority to remove players from game rooms if deemed necessary. Voobly usually promotes new Member Pluses from the Most Valuable Players (VSTARs). If you are interested in becoming a VSTAR, please see the following article. Who are the Member Pluses?

A clean Voobly.com record (Short term toolings, such as mutes or kicks, are somewhat acceptable). At least 18 years of age. A 6-month old Voobly.com account. A nickname that is not affiliated with a team or clan. The only way to become a Member Plus is to follow one of the two procedures above. There is no “quick way” to become a Member Plus: Don’t let anyone fool you into giving your login information to Voobly.com or anywhere else. Voobly.com does not need your account information, and no legitimate staff member will ask you to do so. If you have given your account information to someone, change your password immediately.

The committee leads determine when enrollment or nominations occur. However, they only give 24 hour notice for enrollment. Nominations are only announced to Member Plus.

During nominations, certain Member Plus are allowed to nominate one person to become a Member Plus who has shown a positive and helpful attitude toward other players. These Member Plus will then send in their nominations. Note that during nominations, the Member Plus who is nominating you will need to have contact with you so he/she can gather the correct information to send to their committee lead.

On enrollment days, applications are accepted for 24 hours. Then, your application will be reviewed. If you are selected, you will be sent information via e-mail, and you will receive a privileged account.

You can become a Member Plus in one of two ways: Enrollment or Nomination.

To allow for a more equitable enrollment process, the Voobly community team will hold enrollment days with a 24-hour notice. That is, approximately 24-hours before Member Plus interest forms are accepted, an announcement will be made on MPHQ detailing the time for enrollment to commence. Open enrollment is paused until further notice – we will resume soon and post details to MPHQ. Again, for those who would like to participate in the Member Plus program, we are currently not taking any interest forms at this time. Check back often to learn the exact date and time of the next enrollment. When Open Enrollment resumes, only the interest forms received during the designated time will be processed. Upon completion of an interest form, you...

In order to keep your tournament host status permanently, the following must be true: (1) you have organized more than three tournaments in the past 12 months and (2) you agree to organize at least five tournaments per year. You will keep your “%” before your name and you will be recognized as tournament host in all game lobbies. Even though you are not part of the Member Plus program, you agree that you abide by the Member Plus protocols and orientation documents.

Depending on the amount of players that will play in your tournament, we are willing to offer free premium prizes to you. This must be requested well before the tournament starts.

As tournament host, you will receive a “%” before your name, and you will have access to most of our tournament tools. However, you will not be recognized as tournament host or receive any privileges outside of our function rooms. The % token will disappear once your tournament is over.

All tournament lobbies are function rooms, including spur tournament rooms. As tournament host, you will receive a “%” besides your name, and you will have access to most of our tournament tools. However, you will not be recognized as tournament host or receive any privileges outside of those function rooms.

No, you are not allowed to do that. However, you can request to have your tournament prizes approved by Voobly. Please keep in mind that this must happen before the tournament starts.

Please fill out the application form in order to become a Tournament Host. Please keep in mind that your status as tournament host will only be temporary until the tournament you are hosting is over.

Most Valuable Players (VSTARs) are volunteers who help keep Voobly a family-oriented place. When necessary, they remind players of the Voobly rules and etiquette. The Most Valuable Player (VSTAR) program recognizes Voobly players who voluntarily assist other customers in member-to-member online services. VSTARs come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions, yet they all share one key characteristic: a willingness to give time, expertise, and advice to enhance other Voobly members’ technical skills. MVPs help make the product online service areas invaluable resources for peer assistance. We usually obtain new Member Pluses from the VSTARs.

Back in 1996 Microsoft acquired a web site called “The Zone Village“, which later was renamed to the MSN Gaming Zone. More than 20 years ago, back in 1999 I joined this wonderful community and even decided to become a (voluntary) System Operator who was providing technical support to the community. While many of the volunteers were focused on Card / Board games, the younger generation, including myself, were playing the CD-ROM games on our beloved Zone, e. g. Age of Empires II. In 2002 something terrible happened from our (the community) point of view. Microsoft has released a game called “Age of Mythology”, which was the first game that was not integrated with Zone and was using something Microsoft called an “in-game match making...

Community Patch v1.6 is the next iteration of the userpatches from Voobly. It adds new balance, new graphics, new maps and a lot more new features from AoE II Definitive Edition. It is a free-to-use mod available at the Voobly mod center. This web site and project is run by the community playing on Voobly. We are not affiliated with Voobly, nor are we affiliated with the User Patch or the Wololo Kingdoms project. We are no Microsoft haters, but we hate their subsidiary company “XBox” for what they have done to the Zone community more than 15 years ago and doing the same to the Voobly community in 2019. You may read the full story here. If you are new to Voobly, learn how to play.

In our Voobly community we communicate mostly in the English language. Most of our work is done in English, but we hope that all Voobly documentation, software and installation will be available in every language one day. We are constantly working towards that goal, however, many obstacles are still ahead. Voobly consists of volunteers, and we are generally looking for new volunteers who have some technical knowledge, an interest in gaming, and some free time. You too can help Voobly; take a look at the Enrollment info page.

When Microsoft started working on AoE II DE, they promised us that they would do anything to unite the community again. The bottom line is, Microsoft did the same thing they were doing more than 15 years ago. They forced the community into their “in-game match making system” without any social gaming features or the ability to chat and interact with each other. Even worse, they removed the ability to create LAN/IP games and “destroyed” all other community projects, including User Patch and Wololo Kingdoms. You already destroyed our Zone Village, isn’t it enough already? Read more
