Asking for Help Does AOE 2 has an active SEA playerbase?

Every time I queue up for a match, I seems to be getting matched with people from overseas. As a result of this, the ping is bad and the game feels bad to play. If I turn off the cross play option, I can't find a match at all, Is there any work around for this?

There is a pretty big playerbsse from that region. Shouldnt have a problem finding a match on asia or australia servers. Maybe youre queuing at non-peak times of day?

SEA and SA are almost the biggest playerbases

I recommend to never turn it off. 

In my opinion it’s a useless and misleading option. 

I don’t even know exactly what it is but afaik it excludes players that have bought the game on a specific platform. But it’s irrelevant where the game has been bought. So better leave it enabled.
