How Old are YOU !!

[maggers]

Quick poll to see the age range in Ryzom.

It seems a lot more Mature players play this game then many others I have played.

[neppy]

I don't like being 18 years old and classed in the same group as the 13 year olds :P But I shall take pride in being one of the "baby" gamers amoungst us ><

[maggers]

I didnt put any titles on the age groups for that very reason.. Im not going to class anyone as a Baby or anyone as a Senior Citizen. I was interested in the fact that we *May* have an older player base than some other online games out there.

/points at neppy and shouts BABY !!!!

:D

Oh BTW Im 37 .. and yes Im OLD !!! as my kids keep telling me.

My Favorite saying is. "Dad arnt you a bit old to be playing games ?"

:P

[aluinie]

almost 30 here yikes

[shrike]

Oh my.. wouldn't have thought so many old relics are playing. 28 here, btw :D

[ayne31]

40 - any higher bids? :D

PS: its nice to see that past 35 it doesnt matter anymore :p

[webbear]

Oh no. Not this old chestnut!!

[sledge11]

Ahhhh, so far I take the lead at 55.

I have been playing computer games for a number of years and find them very relaxing and it is always a pleasure to meet new people from all around the world.

My wife also plays computer games although I have not yet convinced her to try MMO ones.

The kids are grown and on their own and some of them also enjoy the MMO world.

When you look at the large number of games available today and the massive number that are underway for release within a year, MMOs rate as possibly one of the largest hobbies in the world.

[eriedor]

neppy : me too heheh ^^

[erandor]

I'm 54, been gaming since '82.

[andreaw]

34 :)

I must admit I'm surprised at the outcome of the poll so far. I knew the player-base was older than other MMO's but not that we were in the majority. Yay!!!

Love from Euginie

[ayne31]

With 57 votes so far more than 90% are over 18!

I'd had never expected this o_o

[Nirvy]

Just 26 here.

You guys make me feel young. Thanks ;)

13-17 yr olds dont have credits cards. Most MMOG's i have played have had very few teeneagers. Cept the ones who sweettalk their parents

[kaetemi]

14 here!! :D

[rugster]

erm... thats not a fair vote you know, its says 35+ and the one before says 26 - 35 which one do 35 yr olds vote? i did 35+ i guess all the girls did the 26 - 35...

[rugster]

34 :)

[p46985]

Hmm... I thought at 24 I would be a bit too old for this game :D Still I love the game and I'm happy to see that not only children have a desire to be a part of the beautiful, addictive fairy tale

[tiomet]

53 =)

Been playing since MUD1, when I was amazed and delighted to find multiplayer games and that pleasure has not yet faded.

[mboeing]

I'm not in the old timer category (yet). Yay. Well another half year and i have to change votes =P

[aliera]

44 and loving it! MMPORG's I mean and Ryzom in particular atm.

A mental flash of me and others in about 50 years in the Retirement Home:

Nurse: Come on now Granny, time to turn off the PC and go to sleep!
Me: Noooo, not yet, I can't leave my buddies, we have to kill all these mobs first and get the artifact! You young people nowadays...you know nothing about loyalty and adventure!

[maggers]

Wow nice votes..

Nice to so many "Mature Kids" out there :D

Now I can tell my Children to stop hasstling me as a lot of other Oldies play this game :P

/group hug for the "Oldies" :p

Thanks a million for making feel young in an online game. My 24 usually tops me on the veteran scale ;)

Hmm, no wonder I am enjoying Ryzom as much as I am. Not a single c3wl or l33t around. Amazing!

A friend of mine, although I am ashamed of calling him that ;) Usually uses the following approach: OMGHI2U!oneoneoneoneoneone

Highly annoying, but rather fun.

[borg9]

36 going on 104

Neun

[pcheez]

Jesus K rist, im amazed :). well not really. with the low level of flaming and pointless immature babbling in ryzom, no wonder the quantity of sub 20 players is at a record low.
Oh im 17 btw :D defying society's morals by running around in full armor but no pants ;)

[liath]

22 :D

[trollbod]

29 here :D
I'm not so old finally

[kamagi]

54 here.
Why only 35+?
Bit low for the cap :)
Need some higher categories so we get a better picture of the age spread.
Keep it going into the 80's.

[jmaynus]

I just turned 31 on Aug 27th.

[miths999]

27. 28 before the much anticipated Patch 1 (!oneoneoneone!??? - I hate leet le3t, 1eat, whatever :), even more than I hate all those damn smilies I have started throwing around every other sentence I write on the net), if Nevrax buy their calendars and watches the same place most other game developers seem to get theirs ;) (damn, I did the smilie thing again - someone stop me please).

[mdeyoung]

Family here.. 39 (hubby) 37 (wife) .......... and 12 (son).....

A family who plays together stays together :)

[shazzy]

34 and loving this game. I to have noticed how mature the people are in this game. It's great! Makes a refreshing change from the likes of DAoC that's for sure. That's coming from someone who plays on the roleplaying Percival server on US DAoC also!

[tleilaxu]

23 and a FULLY abashed convert to Ryzom. After an initially rocky start in OB where I had to try 4 different computers before I could get SoR to run properly, the retail version has run as smooth as silk. Kudos to Nevrax for pumping out a great product

http://www.minyatur.net/cieran/cieranbanner.jpg

[ankan]

I'll be 21 in a few weeks!
Wee!

[pcheez]

hehe house tleilaxu is weak :) long live the sardaukar !!!!

[bullough]

18 here :)

[deitrich]

34 here. But I have a grandson so I voted as 35+ because I feel like I'm that age ;)

[t41nt3d]

20 Years young (15 Mentaly) been playing games since dads sinclair spectrum was new when I was about 6 years old :D (even got a photo of it)

[caleinia]

14. I'm a kiddie. ^_^

[rik1972]

as you may be able to guess im 32.

[spazzlad]

Um...."what's my age again?"Oh wait, that's a Blink182 song.

But I'm 38 chronologically. I'd say...oh....16-18 mentally.

I just started mmo's last year (or year before not sure). This is the third one I've played extensively (dabbled in a couple others free trials).

I was old school PnP gamer for years and years and years. Started in the late 80's playing computer games on my Commodore 64.

No kids, but my dog looks at me funny when I'm fighting Gingos or Ragus.

I never learned 'l33t' speak. I have an english degree, writing no less. So I tend to use whole words and sentences. Egad! :p

[Heilsbringer]

Oh no, it really IS a granpa game!

So every little Tryker girl is a granny in RL? Ah, that sucks... :o

[pinguini]

LOL.. well I am 23 soon to be 24.
But concerning your comment, it seems that a hell of a lot of guys are mere crossdressers in the retail version.

[hivewasp]

LOL.. well I am 23 soon to be 24.
But concerning your comment, it seems that a hell of a lot of guys are mere crossdressers in the retail version. eheh... just a thought, why is it so hard to understand that men may want to play women characters? How is that fundamentaly different than say, playing a Tryker, or Zorai... it's all about playing something that you are not in real life.

Could we generalize a bit and say that too many people are projecting themselves in their characters; associating them with 'me' and thus could not consider even playing the other sex?

Are you all playing your online ryzom alter ego; or a fiction character that lives in that world, and following his/her evolution?

Maybe I'm going too far on the dissociation philosophy when playing my chars... I play them the way I see them, not necessarily how *I* would react if *I* was on Ryzom. It's like reading a story about someone, except you're taking decisions and watch the evolution

[pcheez]

Ryzom is my first MMORPG and i was quite surprised to find so many RL men playing female charas. A bit strange at first but i got used to it as it is quite an interesting concept. I rolled a toon female character, but it just didnt feel right. Maybe in wow.....

[novax]

Well im 17 and proud lol :P

LOL.. wasn't expecting to get a such emotional comment on my comment.
Anyway, what kinda surprises me is that men tend to play female characters more often than the other way around. And the part that actually does bother me from time to time is the Roleplaying part they try to do with it and play their female character they way some men like to see them.
Maybe it comes with the way I have been raised, but I do tend to dislike the whole wanna-be-female talk, which actually turns sometimes into something offending for me.
Other than, of course everyone can play who and whatever they want. No problem with that. My comment was merely pointing to the fact that there are relatively few male characters. :)

[glipe]

For the person who said they thought that guilds for older people would be nice: It seems from this survey that guilds for older people will be almost the only guilds!

I'm 27 and I play games. all the time. For a living, for fun, since a very early age. My life is games.


Sad really.

[pcheez]

sad , i admire/agree :D

[danadita]

Heh - I'm 52 and here I thought I was the oldest! Ryzom is my second MMORPG - Earth and Beyond was my first (heavy sigh). Sometimes it feels strange to be the only one, to my personal knowledge, at my age playing games like these.

Count me as one day being one of the grannies at the home playing on the computer! (ha! just thought ya wuz gonna KS me, you whippersnapper!)

http://hometown.aol.com/ttdanadita/images/somacardfnl02.jpg

[maggers]

Nice ... 52 .. good going.

I hop eim still playing games when Im 52.

[pcheez]

Its the terminology like whippersnapper, yungin, and winky, that gives the 35 + players away ;) . We know who u are, and we are proud to be gaming alongside you guys :D

[tangie]

here is one more " baby " gamer :p I am 18 too :)


Mia <{O_o}>


Hi Mia yes its Tangy :)
