Before delving into answering and addressing readers' questions about how to play Age of Empires on the new Garena 2.0, Mytour would like to mention that currently Garena is releasing two versions simultaneously: Garena Plus with the version you are using called Garena 2016, and another version called Garena 2017, which is still in beta testing and cannot officially replace the old version of Garena yet.
Garena 2.0 is the latest version with many exciting and professional features. However, for Age of Empires players, the focus is on how to play Age of Empires.

In reality, the new Garena version is still in the testing phase and remains very limited in features despite adding many new features in subsequent updates. However, the Lan gaming feature, which is crucial for playing Age of Empires on the new Garena, has not been included yet. Therefore, if you want to play Age of Empires on Garena temporarily, you still need to use the old version with the instructions we mentioned above.
It's unfortunate to confirm that currently you cannot play Age of Empires on the new Garena and still have to use the old version to play. However, Mytour believes that Garena will soon add this feature, quickly completing it for the release of the new Garena. In the meantime, continue playing Age of Empires on the old Garena if you're an empire gamer; other games are unaffected whether you play the old or new version.
