Anyone 40 and over playing EVE...besides me :-) Hopefully in another 40 years by the time I end up in some "old folks home" it'll be common place to see us geezers playing whatever evolves from MMOs instead of still cards or checkers.

47 here. Been playing computer games since the late 1970s (a game called bomber, written in FORTRAN, played on a mainframe). I can't imagine life without them now. Any 'old folks home' that I wind up in had BETTER have good internet access!

would be interesting to see the actual demographics of this game, age wise, but i would hazard a good guess that a large percentage of the people that play this game are those that are the over 30 crowd ( i am 43) and, if you took the ages of all the people that get keylog scammed they would be the under 20 crowd :)

I hear the PC gamer demographic has an average age of over thirty these days. When you've got U3A (Universite du Troiseme Age - they're all over retirement age) running LAN parties in the local community school, it's going to help push up the mean. And that was 5 or more years ago (my dad).
EVE especially is a niche game. Some of the attribtes that it takes to stick with it are less frequently found in school-age kids than in the mortgage-age section of the kid market, notably "the cash to buy PLEXes" :)

I will be 52 in november.
My first online game was the old Star Trek MUD on the compuserve servers waaaaay back, running an apple II with an amazing state of the art 300 baud modem. Before the internet was born to the public at large, i also ran my own 4 node BBS utilizing my homebuilt modem rack, where i offered forums and various text based MUD games. I remember adding RAM to my first 286 machine, upgrading it from 64k onboard to a whopping 1 megabyte via soldering the ram chips onto the existing on board ram piggy backed, only after throwing several alligator clips into my freezer for a while to use as heat sinks while carefully getting on and off with the solder gun as fast as i painstakingly could. I also pulled my first overclock on that 286 by swapping out the timing chip and thus going from 8mhz to an amazingly fast 12mhz making me state of the art!! LOL
Awww...the good old dayz :)

the old guys like us literally invented computer slang for you guys :)
also, I am 99 % positive the guys i ran with , when UO first came out, way back in 1997 invented the term "asshat" for after ganking people on day 1 release we would take our characters pants off and sit repeatedly on the dead guys head before we cut him up and deboned him.
those were the days allright.../sigh

Most enjoyable games, æLord of the Rings on the SpectrumÆ, Power Monger and Elite on the Atari, and all the Lara Croft games (was the reason to buy my first Playstation ).

Ah the heady days of cracking games on the Speccy... I got round the lenslock by resetting the clock, then the 'random' code was always the same :)
I also remember writing a little code that sat in the printer buffer, and executed a 'save' so I could make backups of games without using the amstrad double tape deck trick.
I also had a ZX81 with the 16k rampack and wobble :(

Will soon be 50 here. My then 20 year-old son was the one who recruited me to Eve back in 2004. Now, I think I'm a bigger Eve addict than he is.

I think maybe you guys forgot Space Wars (Wiki link). Quite possibly your first spaceship PvP, and about seven years before Elite came out. 
In my day we had to pay a quarter every time we PvP'ed.

Edited by: Neddy Fox on 07/09/2009 08:05:38 44 here..
Started on a Commodore64, playing choplifter for weeks on end. From there to Apple II, BBC Master and finally my very own 286.. When I upgraded it with a 10Mb hardcard (harddisk that fits into an ISA slot) I had the fastest computer in town :P
I also started a BBS back in the days when the first 9600 baud modem was released.
After finding the internet it was Descent, then the whole series of Deltaforce and Operation Flashpoint until I found Face of Mankind (MMO) which I played until it died.

Elite -> Elite 2 Frontier -> Elite 3 First Encounters -> EVE Online
Sadly I'm starting to think Elite 4 will be vapourware forever

My first console was the Atari 2600, but my first computer was an Atari 800...even had a tape drive as well as the floppy drive. I had gobs of games for it. I remember we used to take double-sided, double-density disks, punch a notch in the other side of the disk sleeve with a hole punch, flip the disk over and copy files on both sides of the floppy. It was a great money-saver when you're a kid and don't have great cashflow...heheh.

From there I moved to Gunship on the Commodore 128 (dual floppies rocked!!). Been playing Eve for a bit over three years now, though real life has been kicking hell out of my play time as of late :( ------- Never argue with an idiot.

Nearing 40 myself in a few months. It is good to know that I am not alone in being an "older" gamer!
I will admit to now feeling a bit embarrassed when looking at the games in the software section of the local gaming store, and having a young employee come up and ask me if I need any help... It would be so easy to fib and say that the game is for my son/daughter/nephew/neighbor/or-some-other-child-as-an-alibi!

54 years old.
My first computer was an IBM S/370 - I remember playing something like Spacewar on the console - type in your move, hit enter, wait a few seconds while it printed an updated map taking your latest move into consideration.
And it was in Team Fortress that I used to tell victims that they'd been killed by someone even older than their Dad.
Age is fun -
Player 1: "My mom keeps on at me for playing too much."
Player 2: "Yeah, mine's the same - always telling me I should be studying."
Me: "Uhh... guys, your moms - how old are they? Are they cute? Single??"
(Whereupon Players 1 & 2 start gagging, losing it at the thought of the possibility of their poor old moms being women in any shape, form or fashion...)

Heading towards 40 in a few years here to..
I remember writing my own game on some god awlfull thing that could barely be called a computer back in the 1980's. I think it was all done in basic. It had a ship that flew from left to right while the ground went by underneath it and you got to shoot crappy little alien spaceships.
At the time it was AWSOME!!! 
Then the origional Elite came along.. everyone here should bow thier heads in respect to that game, it is because of that game we have the games of today like Eve.
I spent 20 years looking for a game that would capture the amazing feeling of playing Elite for the first time (Everything else had sprite based graphices, Elite used 3d polygons! and offered freedom in game like nothing else).
Eve is the only game that has ever equaled it IMHO.

50.
Although I'm using PCs professionally since they came out in the 80s, I never was much of a gamer. This ended when I found out about MMORPGs and joined Ultima Online in 1998. Played this till 2005 and then came over to EVE Online (I'm a strictly one game man).

Never played Ultima Online... but I am a full Avatar of the Eight Virtues. To this day I can still name them. 
Anyone else? Perhaps someone who, once upon a time, faced Mondain, Minax or Exodus?

Will be 40 before year's end.
First computer GAE was Telstar; multiple games along the same genre: tennis, handball, squash, etc.
First computer was the Commodore Vic-20; the one with the cassette tape storage device. Learned to type by banging away on the keyboard and entering pages of code from COMPUTE! magazine.

My favorite music is Van Halen and I had a mulet. I thought Joan Jett was the best female rocker and Pat benatar was the best vocalist. The 80's rock.
Dont let these kids get you down.EVE was ment for over 40 year olds that cant play FPS and dont need them cartoons like eq2 or wow.

44 here! This thread is awsome! My gaming addiction started with pinball machines. Standing on milk crates to see the playfield! One day I walked into the arcade and there was this new thing called thing called PONG! Coolest thing i ever saw (in my few years), and so it began.
WORD UP to those giving respect to ELITE. I gave many many hours to that game!

Originally by: Kezzle I hear the PC gamer demographic has an average age of over thirty these days. When you've got U3A (Universite du Troiseme Age - they're all over retirement age) running LAN parties in the local community school, it's going to help push up the mean. And that was 5 or more years ago (my dad).
This sort of thing is why the median is a much more descriptive statistic in many cases.

Honestly, the dude was awesome, he doesn't play now I don't think but i'd have to check, He even had a BattleHulk ready to go.

How refreshng to see a post like this.
40 and two months here....been playing EvE since 04. Like everyone else I started way back when it was ZX Spectrums and the like. My lad (13) still cant make his mind up whether its cool to have a Dad that is into the same stuff as him and his mates or whether he should be ashamed of me. The fact that his mates think I am star in their eyes probably swings it towards being 'cool'....but he would never admit to that would he?!
Often makes me smile when I say I like EvE and similar to people because so often anyone who enjoys what we all do is branded as a geek and they really are taken aback when they realise thats not true.
Great to see so many people posting in here.

First PC was the CBM 64, first decent game, The Hobbit. Whilst the tape loaded in the cassette player, you had time to go to shop, make dinner, eat, then wash up. And pray that it loaded ok. Level 9 text advenures, curry and a few beers with wife til early hours trying to figure out how to get out of some silly room. Hearing about something called MUD, playing from work And of course the bbc computer inspired game that revolutionised the Space Genre Game.If you have to ask the name of it, then You shouldnt be in this thread young sirs and madams
