45.  Just got bifocals. 

And get off my lawn!  :P

45 and getting my bifocals tomorrow.

I feel old.

My co-workers say it's about time I stop wearing two pairs of glasses.

I say, "Wearing two pairs at the same time makes me quirky.  Wearing bifocals makes me old." :P

Ahh well.   :roll:

To grow old is obligatory, growing up is optional :)

To quote a colleague even older than I, "Old is good!"   I think it beats the alternative.  ;)   While I'm not thrilled about the physiological aspects of aging much past the early 30s, I still enjoy getting older.  Re: bifocals, you might consider graduated lenses; either way, they do take a while to get used to from single vision glasses.  Good Luck!

My age? Well, Don't Panic folks...I'm always sure to bring a towel. You could say my age is an answer. THE answer in fact, to life, the universe, and everything.

Now, what was the question? ;)

As for "growing up", I have a few quotes for that...

4th Doctor: "There's no point in being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes!"

Amy Pond: "I grew up."
11th Doctor: "Don't worry, I'll soon fix that."

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Level cap is still 50, folks.

Once you hit that number, all you earn is influence. ;)

What about Incarnate XP?

Well, Yay!  Finally someone admitted to being under 18.   ;)

You know, if I'd known that many players were 'over a certain age' I would have teamed more often than I did: I was always 'ticklish' about it because of the ridiculous frequency and urgency with which I often had to call for 'bio break'  :roll:

I just think it's indicative of our playerbase. Those who are under 18 are much less likely to be as attached to this game as we are. They'd just move on. They wouldn't be here with us.

While I know that there were plenty of younger players in game, it isn't hard to believe CoH has a higher-than-average age for MMOs. :)

I am not persuaded that the Under 18 players had less attachment or devotion.  At minimum, two wrote on a private SG forum about how much City of Heroes and the SG had meant to them.  I think it's because few under age 18 are interested in reading and posting to forums.

Besides just the kids, I know of plenty of adults who soon after 8/31 went looking for another MMORPG to provide an experience similar to what they'd enjoyed in CoH.  Most are still looking....
