I'm a huge fan of AoT online...just wondering how I can get back to playing it again with you good folks

Is the easiest way to do this, to buy the game from say amazon and use a universal key of some sort?
Thats my worry the key not being valid/out of date or what have you? I have tried to download AoT and got a nasty virus so I would much rather buy the game this time, but is there a universal key that does work? I've heard rumors.


Thanks a ton !

well. showing I am a little dumb here, most of us play aoe. I am not sure what aot is about.
