Frazzled	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:01:00 - [1] Good evening everyone, After being whinged at by my wife for being 26, an Army officer and yet still playing 'silly time consuming kiddies computer games' I got a bit upset and told her STFU. Most FPS games I have played seem to revolve around 14 yr old kids killing everything that moves (including their own team!). EVE however appears to cater for the older gamer. I was wondering what the average age/maturity of EVE players actually is? In this way I can actually tell my wife to STFU cos all the other people who play EVE are my age... I hope! Frazz

Rana Ash	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:04:00 - [3] Is between 20 and 40 Currently between jobs, but i don't see why this game should be a silly kids game. I have a friend that is 46 and he can't get enough of Ultima Online.. Plush Bunny lyret dedreen

Rod Blaine	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:04:00 - [5] Average I think would be 22-28 ish, male, 0.82 kids and NO WIFE _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know. Rod's Ramblingz on Eve-Online Solutions to your issues.

Feta Solamnia	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:05:00 - [7] In no way is eve a 14yr olds game. Afaik, 25-30 is a possible average of the gamers. I dunno what happened with the new entries though, marketing tends to bring in trash games There was a TV newsreport about the eve fanfest saying something about 30 yr old ppl gaming 24/7... Now, on the wife matter, you could convince her otherwise... "woohoo! I podded Tank CEO today, I'm sooo hot baby".... Please contact Tank and ask him for that favor

Feta Solamnia	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:06:00 - [9] Originally by: Rod Blaine Average I think would be 22-28 ish, male, 0.82 kids and NO WIFE no wife? I'm part of a trading group, and as it seems I'm the only one not married and with no kids...

Rod Blaine	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:11:00 - [11] Edited by: Rod Blaine on 06/11/2004 18:13:40 The wife part was more advice then truth. I think of the older people most have a so called 'loved one'. (sorry for using that word, sounds awfully Dr Phil) Anyway, Eve has probabaly the most mature playerbase of any MMO out there. Altho being old doesn't say you can't act like kids. _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know. Rod's Ramblingz on Eve-Online Solutions to your issues.

Frazzled	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:15:00 - [13] I have a plan to get her playing EVE as well.... However she is not exactly a 'techy' chick and I'd have to get another PC, it may be worth it tho

Danton Marcellus	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:24:00 - [15] Most women want a hardworking man with no interests not bringing in cash to the household or otherwise maintaining it as well as being a complete blank in which she can mirror her ego. Convert Stations

Dethra	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:29:00 - [17] aye, most people I've met in this game are more mature than some of the other games; seems like most people I meet are indeed 20-40, however, I meet a number of high teens, low 20s. And about the being 26 and playing a 'silly kids game' I have a friend I met on Daoc (dark age of camelot) who is 63, and owns 3 accounts. (and Daoc has a lower average maturity) _______________________________ SF-C recruitment

Canthus Prime	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:31:00 - [19] Easy solution to the 'wife problem'. Send her back to her mothers, place an add in loney hearts, in your personal description just put Eve. Sit back and wait for the offers to flood in :) As for the age/maturity question, Maturity about 15 years younger than the age. Those of teenage years find the game too complex and want the quick fix of a game where they can kill anything that moves.

Edood	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:33:00 - [21] age is not maturity. You may get many 14 yr olds who are immature, but stereotyping all of them is prejudice.

Barth3zzzNL	Posted - 2004.11.06 18:41:00 - [23] Between 16 and 30 sounds more likely. I know a lot of players who are under 20. --------------------------- [Coreli Corporation Mainframe]

Aion Amarra	Posted - 2004.11.06 19:52:00 - [29] Well, I'm 16 years old. And it seems like EVEs playerbase is fairly mature. (I'm consciously not using the word 'old') It looks like yer more complex a game is, yer more mature is the playerbase but that's just a guess. Regarding maturity: It's not really linked to age. It would be kind of cool if you could somehow judge the playerbases maturity instead of its average age, as I know a 11 year old from another Onlinegame, who's more mature than most other people I've ever met on there. That being with a playerbase of ~26 years avg.
