There is dirt that is younger than me. Okay, fine, I'm 39. I've already decided to disappear on my 40th b-day to avoid the inevitable black balloons people seem to think are so hysterically funny. Haven't decided yet whether I'm coming back or not.
Yeah....about those black balloons and "Lordy lordy, __________ is 40" routine: I made some...umm..."friendly" threats to friends and family members who thought that that might be fun to do on my 40th b-day. After I planted images of boots up asses and unending (semi-malevolent) practical jokes in their heads, my 40th b-day went off without a hitch.
LOL, I think there should have been a few more categories past 42+....
Yeah. The poll could have at least had a "get off my lawn!" option after 42.
More like "get of my server". I don't care about the lawn.

Thanks, I better start making those threats now, then! But I still might pull a disappearing act, too. I need peace and quiet to contemplate which country I'm going to take over as part of my midlife crisis.
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.
25 here but dealing with going back to school has severely cut down on the amount of time I have to play MMOs. Actually that's an understatement I haven't logged on to any game in almost 8 months. Sad I know, but I'm an addict so it's either all or nothing for me and school + my addiction to MMOs was a disaster my first semester.
I'm really looking forward to this summer because I will in an internship program and be back on a regular 40 hour a week schedule again. Hopefully something good will be out by then to grab my interest for a few months.
I raided 5 nights a week in EQ1 with two people that were over 60, and that was like 6 years ago already.
My ex husband is 45 and plays WoW about 40 hours a week, my mother is 59 and plays WoW at least 20 hours a week, my father (also 59) was the one that introduced me to EQ1 in 1999, and he also plays WoW now.
I play EVE, waiting for GW2.
You don't stop playing when you get old, you get old because you stop playing.
Cant say Im really excited about it. Goodbye 20s. : (
I still get carded for cigs or beer though. Even had cashiers argue with me that I dont look old enough. So I guess thats good. I do kind of look like I could be 20 or 21.
It's awesome to see that so many older people are playing! Where I come from everytime you mention gaming people tell you "aren't you supposed to quit doing this at say 13". Turned 30 this year and am looking at many, many more years of gaming ahead of me. Hell I will probably create a retirement home guild when the times come, I hope. Great poll, OP. I hope many more vote.
LOL..now I feel better, knowing I am not the ONLY oldster playing..started mmo's when Lotro came out..HAD to get it, love the books! Found out there are a lot of older players there..you would be surprised! (Well, maybe not..lol..)Got my grandaughter started,she turned 16 this year..me, I'm 62..not EVER going to grow up,LOL!! Too much fun being a kid. Btw, got started to video games with Pacman etc. on a rebuilt Atari back about 83,got it for my 2 kids(Really, I DID get it for THEM..LOL)
35 years old. Started gaming with my Atari 2600 back in 1982 when I got it for Christmas and haven't looked back. Started MMO's with EQ1 in 1999 (Just recently re-subbed to it and having a blast too!). Just took my daughter Homecoming dress shopping this past weekend! (Will be 15 December 15th). Where does time go? And is it just me?...or does it seem to anyone else that with each year it flies by faster than the last?

How about a catagory for err OLD?. My daughter is older than that.
If you are interested in making a MMO maybe visit my page to get a free open source engine.

I'll be 30 this coming year.

You don't stop playing when you get old, you get old because you stop playing.
I'll be 30 in 15 days.

I'm very surprised at how evenly spread this poll is. Even if there should be more categories.
Waiting for: GW2
eighteen, and i'm not very surprised that the majority falls in the 30+ area.

someone said 18 damn I got toe nail clippings older than that
What bothers me is you've kept 18+ year old toe nail clippings. Thats very......different.
PacMan and Crossfire on an Atari 400.. EQ1 was my first MMO as well.
