I used to play aoe original online a lot from about 2000-2002. Excellent fun.

I think if you go in with an open mind, AOM and AOE3 are pretty fun. People moan and groan about imbalances, but they rarely decide a match, and are usually just a scapegoat for whiney people in general. I liked AOE3 and its expansion. I played the majority of civs around 1800-1900 level and rarely looked back on imbalances for losing.

On a more general note, I think it's weird that WC3 dominates the RTS world. I mean, it's cheesy graphics, small ball warfare, and sorry, but gross, nerdy fantasy BS to me. Guess I'll check out company of heroes as someone else mentioned.

No it doesn't dominate the RTS world, that's still Starcraft.

I liked AoE2 a lot online at the Zone (msn.)
Played some other RTS's but could never really get into most of them.

Starcraft is pretty damn good, I played that briefly on a LAN at school w/ friends. SC gameplay is perfectly balanced it seems, but, eh, something about it is weird to me. The graphics are a little weak, "blurred" almost, and I never really liked all the air units. SC is very straightforward.
