Poll....

Simply wondering how old the  players are.  At 46 I always felt I was playing with kids.  My corp in Eve however was 30+

And my guild in EQ was the average age of 27.

    Well, I'm a very young gamer, I'm 13, and have already won some cash with playin Tactical Ops, at a Lan Party. However I'm more intersted in MMORPGs now, but I don't want to pay for it, I'm too young for a job.

    I hope I'm still gameing when I'm 46, I think nothing is wrong with that, however most of your age are playing games like The Sims, 'cause there is (almost) no violence in that kinda' games. But I think you are great, you show that we must keep on gaming!

    Are you smoking the wacky herb again?  Where are you getting this information.  I know a lot of "older" people who still kick ass in FPS.

    I'm 26 and can still run circles around people in any FPS.  I just don't like those types of games any longer.  I'd rather play a good RTS, MMORPG, or another type of game where I have to think and not just blast my way through the levels.

    Also pretty much, once a gamer, always a gamer.  I've been playing games since 1983.

    From a Dutch gaming magazine, well, maybe it's only in Holland then. But what do you think is old? I think like 40+ is quite old in the gamers world. But if you know a very good FPS or Fighting Game 40+ player, then please say it.

    Please say what?  Their name?  I was in an "adult" clan playing Battlefield 2.  We had some 30+ year olds.  Just because you're older doesn't mean you can't play "twitch" style games.

    Ok then, whatever, you've won this batlle. Now something else. On a docu about the WCG, they followed GO (Greatest Ones), a Korean StarCraft clan, one of the best SC clans on the planet. They were saying that most pro-gamers reflexes are getting slower when they reach 25. So they are getting slower in the game, so do you know some 30+ pro-gamers?

    (I don't know if they're right anyway, if you train alot on your reflexes, you can still be good at shooters and stuff...)

    I don't know any pro-gamers over 30.  Most people over the age of 21 have full time jobs and a life, wife, kids, car, house, etc.

    That is why most pro-gamers are around the 18 years old age... where they don't have anything but a part-time job and usually school.

    Once people start to grow up, things change.  I wouldn't doubt in my mind for single second that there could possibly be someone over 30 as a pro-gamer.

    im a teenager but i hope that i never loose the incentive to play a game here or there. I hope that gaming doesnt affect my health or education hence resulting in my career as well all know without no cash theres no games regardless of were you get it.

    So to all you "mature" gamers i bow to you.... and to you younger gamers i say...we are the next generation..lets pwn these noobz

    Interesting results, but I can quite imagine its skewed a bit. I know there are more gamers under 20 out there than 40+ Perhaps the kids simply dont tend to subscribe here? It would make sense

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    Or you have a lot of kids that think it's funny to vote for the 40+ option to make us believe there are more. I find it hard to believe by reading the majority of the threads on these forums, that the majority of people aren't under 22.

    Yeah!  The 40+ group has 24.1% of the votes!! 

    Oh, I'm 41 by the way.
