Age Group (POLL RESTARTED 12/9 - PLEASE VOTE AGAIN!)

[dpawtows]

45; same as my twin.  Odd coincidence.

[avelworldcreator]

Been in the same age group almost the entire existence of the game. :p

[Turjan]

As old as dirt here - and I feel happier knowing there are so many of us grumpy old geezers in rocking chairs on the porch muttering about ye goode olde days 

[Perfidus]

It just goes to show you what we lost. A community that spans all ages pretty evenly. You don't see this kind of thing very often.

[Glass Goblin]

I'll be 53 in about a month (but currently feel much, much older).

[Globetrotter]

In the top of the top level.

[johnrobey]

I'm 52.  I knew plenty of players who were older yet.  Many of my friends who played were 30s to 50s and a couple had moms in their 70s who played CoH.  In a couple of the SGs, the parents had kids who also played, ranging in age from 11 to low 20s.  I knew at least two grandfathers who played.

And you weren't 10 when you started ?

Indeed, this sort of thing isn't all that well-understood.  My parents still don't get that people their age play video games, let alone an MMO

I've mentioned this a couple of other places, but my son was going to get a paid account for his 11th birthday, last month. He's not here, though. He's thrown himself into Sonic and Ponies.

My Friday night group ranges from 18 to 45, the 18yo being the son of one of the older guys. None of the rest of them are here, either.

My 13 year old nephew played on a free account at the end of the summer holidays, we were going to get him a month's sub over Christmas

Well, we're actually all still here, so the community isn't lost - just it's rightful home

[Vivace]

I was 18 or 19 when I started playing. Just turned 27 on Sunday.

[dwturducken]

So, in the Hobbit tradition, you gave NCSoft your favorite game?

(Too soon?)

[Perfidus]

But we aren't all here. All the people I spent the most time with, aren't here. The community will survive here - but it's not whole. It may never be again.

[Copper Cockroach]

45. I'm so freakin' old I remember when Night Driver was the most thrilling video game concept anyone had ever seen.

[avelworldcreator]

I'm 45 too. 

[Steelclaw]

43 years old... at least I am physically...

Psychologically... not so much.

[BobMc]

My wife doesn't do the forums thing. She's 71.
She missed the game a lot. We played most days I had off from work, and hit 38th level on Plumb Bob and Patroller Pat (one of our many duos) on shutdown day.

To grow old is obligatory, growing up is optional
