Been remembering. way back in the day.  about 7-8 years ago (I remember being in Hawaii at the time so at leas that long ago.) recall someone I teamed with for a while said they were 68 and retired.  That would make them around 76 now I guess if they still played.  in any case 68 is the oldest I recall anyone claiming in the game.

Welp, since I dinged 40 last Sunday, I figured it was time to answer this poll. Funny that it seems to be the predominant age range...

Well...golden age of superheroes I think.


Under 18 <- Dunno what type of Heroes (a mix of 'em all?)
 
18-25 <- Ubar funky looking Heroes (would be modern, but modern becomes golden and silver again - you get the idea)
 
26-35 <- New Age Heroes (bronze and modern crossed?)
   
36-45 <- Silver/New Age Heroes (bronze and modern crossed?)
   
46-55 <- Silver Age Heroes
   
55-65 <- Silver/Golden Age Heroes
   
65+ <- Golden Age Heroes

If I remember the timeline correctly. Might be different. Please ensure to deliver all rants directly to NCS

46-55 <- Golden Age Heroes

Yeah sorry, had to ninja edit it . I made a mistake with Golden Age/ Silver Age. Because everything above 50 in the internets -> Silver surfer*

* And no, I'm not kidding. It is called that way in the netculture. But I can just give sources wich are written in german :/.

not so ninja edit:
Found an english source, but it looks a bit odd O.o

The teams I usually ended up with always asked how old people were because of the types of comments thrown around. Since I usually play a blaster, my snarky ass comments where about the floors of Paragon or the mobs standing on me trying to look at my outfit. 
I am 44

I'm 16.

I usually prefer to keep my age hidden in any kind of online interactions outside of social media, since I normally expect others to immediately deem me immature, or not someone to be taken seriously.

However, from what I have read, you all seem like mature adults, so I'll go ahead and share.

I loved CoH just as much as any of you did. I even have quite a history in the game. I started playing back in i7. Yes, that young. It was pretty interesting toy to play with back then, as I had little experience with MMOs. Actually, no experience with MMOs. Thankfully my parents didn't actually realize it was ~gasp~ an online game, as they probably would have prevented me from ever playing it.

I'm excited to see where this project is heading, because I really have been missing the game. It was my backbone game, my go-to game, when other games didn't seem so appealing, or I needed something casual to play during the swim season.

So yes, not everyone who visits the forum or played the game is someone of advanced age. Us young'uns play as well.

Fixed that for ya.

Our household has 11, 33, and 42 year old players. I could only vote once, though.  I voted for 33 since that's me. Most of my friends in game were older than me, a lot in their 40s, one in his 60s.

[Absolute]

If the same poll was done around issue 1, I would interested to see the results.
I would expect the majority to be the young. We're quick to jump on new games and don't typically last as long as those older than us.

That, combined with the age of the game (Young vets are now 18+), the fact that most young people never even used the forums, and most have already moved on = Majority slanting towards ~40


It's worth noting all these things; I wouldn't want polls like this trying to justify why City of Heroes didn't appeal to young people. It certainly did, and I would bet even more so than adults in its inception.

Only while you're mowing it! 

[SirKittles]

Darn you, retributive ancient ones!

I kid.

...

As long as you don't make me mow the lawn.

You sure? It's real easy like. We even got us one of them fancy sit-down mowers.

[SirKittles]

Well, gee, sir, that is mighty tempting. Hyuk hyuk.
