Originally posted by Aelious But the research suggesting MMO players were 25-30 was done about 8 years ago. I remember reading it and thinking "thats me!". These days however, it must have increased, as all my friends still play, and we are now mid to late 30's. I'd think it would be 25-35 now.

I think GW2 is perfect for adults with jobs and/or kids, because it is very casual friendly, and that's why I think it will attract more mature players. |

Originally posted by pacov lol, what school did you go to? My high school not only required a lot of home work when I went but from what I understand it currently assigns quite a lot of home work to students. |

If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s FF-XIV. |

Originally posted by Sovrath Seriously 8 years ago when I was in highschool I did so much homework. My fingers were numb at the end of the day. I have a lot more free time now. Work 2 16 hour shifts and 1 8 hour shift a week with 4 days off. I started Security after I got out of the army I don't really have to do anything and the hours are great. Just like the Army thou Your Experience May Differ Bassed on MOS and Assignment. |

What's interesting to notice is that the 30+ crowd is equal to the 1-30 one. 30+: 50.4% 1-20: 49.6%
Originally posted by timeraider In my opinion, one becomes "mature" when he leaves the parent's basement and protection and starts to earn his own money and pay his own bills and taxes. Before that, one doesn't have a clue about what being mature means. No offense meant by the way, it's just that there are things which must be experienced to understand fully. That has nothing to do with social behavior. a 13 year old can behave very nicely, while a 50 year old can be totally antisocial. This said, younger people (adolescents) in general are more socially disruptive than adults, social behavior is also something most learn with age. We were all adolescents, we know how it is... ;-)

I'm in the core 1.6% baby! No wonder they don't make any MMO's I like.
