Oscillation Overthruster

[1]
The demographics of this game certainly seem fifferent than most other MMOs I've ever played, and I am curious to see, by personal admission, a sampling of actual age ranges playing. I realize, sadly, that the vast majority of the players never post on these forums, but I am hoping to get a reasonable representative sample.
As for myself, I am 47. I used to think I'd be grandpa moses in this game, but I have encountered a fair many in my age group over the last 2 years while on various gangs and roams, and after quick chats we all share the same draw of the game, the complexity of it compared to other offerings.
I would imagine the bulk of players are college aged; that is to be expected. It will be most interesting to see how many old codgers like me actually frequent the forums, and are willing to honsetly answer the question. There seem to be a number who, for whatever reason, are ashamed of their age among so many younger players. Sad, that.
Thank you in advance for your participation,.

Just looked up some stats online, seems like the average player of WoW is 28 and the average player of EVE is 27. Basically its the same. It would be more interesting to compare IQ stats.

At least WoW players dont have that desperate urge to find reasons why they would be superior to other gamers. (Well i hope, dont play it myself, but really all this "we are superior" crap is getting old).

27 here, I'd honestly say, maybe more so then IQ EVE players have much more patients then a WoW player. We don't crave instant gratification, and are willing to work and earn what we get knowing fully well we can loose it all at anytime potentially.
So I think at the end of the day you'll probably find the average age for most MMO's to be the same. Just the type of ethics the people have will vary based on the game play experience.

I'm exceedingly happy to answer this... I'm 34 and decently successful in R/L... My best bud in EVE is a former USAF pilot pushing late 60's probably. (Not trying to forget any of my other friends in EVE for sure...) Haven't seen him online lately, but he's got some damned cool stories....

I am soon to be 38 and my wife is soon to be 43. We both play, although she tends to spend more time on eve than I do. Most of the people in our corp tend to be late 20's early 30's with a couple over 50. I love the diversity of people that I have found in game.
Although I have to admit that at times on vent I feel like screaming out "Get off my lawn".

I guess I missed the T2 BPO whines from those who don't have them... the warp to zero whines from pirates losing their easy kills... the Doomsday whines from everyone involved... the "buff my race as it isn't an I win button whines... the ease of ISK generation in Empire and in 0.0... the skill queue for those who cannot tell the ****ing time or use EVEMon... Character attribute respecs... reducing each bloodline to nothing more than a cosmetic difference... the "I cannot compete because I've not played as much" whines.
Actually, we're a lot closer to certain games and gamers than I think most people would care to admit or realise.

24 myself today  ! been playing 6 months.
In the end it shouldn't matter to people their age. I find more important the individuals actions. Some younger people Ive met in game have been a lot more mature compared to some of the raving manchildren Ive encountered. I do agree though its good to see a mixed bag of age groups in this game. Keeps it interesting.

Some(probably most) 0.0 corps have much lower average ages than the game in general. Not little kids at all but mostly early 20s.
But most of the successful ones have leaders a bit older.

One number was provided by the company running the game.
The other number comes from some internet dude surveying just over 1000 players with no clear information on how bias was avoided.
I think I'll take one of those numbers with a bag of salt.

There was a study a few years back which showed the average gamer to be around 32 if i recall correctly.
It only seems like lots of children game because they never shut up.

i'm 22 myself and have played Dark age of camelot, warhammer online, WoW, LOTRO, and i can safely say, in all those games mostly it has been some who had that mentality and some who didn't. Even for EVE that mentality is around, i've only played for about 3 weeks, but from the experience i have gathered so far from the mmo world. Also age =/= maturity, there are young players who are way more mature than say a 40y/o. But that overall age around 28/27 seems accurate.
Ther will allways be those around trying to show their e-peen and prove that they are better than everyone else etc. That stuff is unavoidable, and the fact that many non WoW players talk **** about WoW players is bull**** imo. There are nice wow players and there are awful wow players, there are nice wow player and there's awful eve players. Keep in mind that in a MMO you got a virtual society, that means you will also have good and bad personalities in that society.
If you don't want to be around those that got a ****ty attitude, then go an play a singleplayer game, but if you're playing a MMO, get used to being treated bad at times for now reason.

I'm 26 and agree with the OP, it's the complexity of the game that drew me in after I took a serious look at it (I knew of EVE peripherally for years). The depth and freedom of play have kept me subscribing even if I duck out to play something else for a little while. Despite its flaws, the game has an extremely long term appeal and requires a certain level of patience that I think a lot of younger gamers haven't found yet. I can't wait to see what the next generation of sandbox MMO looks like, be it some fully-evolved version of EVE+DUST or something else.

started eve at 18, im 27 now, no signs of stopped yet.
tryed other games, got instantaneously hacked off with silly chat/vent and poor group play.
eve is for the (generally) smarter, older more mature gamer.
it does make for some classic rude smack on occasion too, rather than the "your a poopy face" you might see on wow or whatever.
In an eve meet holiday to America i met some nice guys, one a decent player with alot of ingame sway, some 60 years of age and going strong! He had the best storys too

Personally I would find it more interesting to ask the youngest age group, and see if there are any decent amount of people less then 18.

From being a member many different 0.0 corps.
Im not saying every corp is. But the majority of them are. probably most of the long term successful ones have older average ages.

I'd been in the marine corps a few years by the time I had a chance to play pong... it was new. I play eve because its' the only game i've ever found that wasn't ruled by immaturity and i'm a scifi fan. Since i'm 59, only a month from 60, have a great rl, and some time on my hands now.... you can forgive me for being a loyal eve player I hope. I'll be staying because in that whole time its the only scifi game i've ever found that is 'not' ruled by immaturity. Thats gets on your nerves when you get to be an old codger like some of us.

I'm 22. Been playing since 06' though. EvE really is the only MMO I can handle, everything else just feels so... trivial.

49 here.
Probably the PvP people has a lower average age than the total demographics of EVE.
More interest in the adrenaline rush and an easier time playing at odd hours.

I'm 16, and have played EVE since just before my 14th birthday.
However, I have been told I sound like I'm 20 on Vent and post like I'm 40 on these forums.
Age isn't everything, I can say that.

36 which makes me older than most in my corp but still quite a few are older, which is my general experience of playing the game.
Given the large amounts of alchohol that seem to go with pew pewing on the weekends not sure there's much difference in the youngsters than the older players and often time in game seems a better guide to maturity than actual age. It is somewhat self selecting because at the end of the day everyone playing is someone whom eve appeals to, and most of the players I meet have been playing for a year plus.

Kill it!!!! jk jk. I do wish they'd put a Mature Rating on the game so nobody under 18 can buy it without parent's consent though. However I dont think that'd work due to it being sold online *shrugs*. I for one am 24, been playing since I was 16 (Beta). I'm a private commercial pilot in my real life.
Somehow I think if you remove people under 18, grieving, ninja looting, suiciding, general unacceptable forms of pvp or immature attitudes would decrease. Or... you know, we could always require an IQ test to be taken prior to account creation :) That'd help for sure! Although, somehow I imagine that it might make it worse because then we'd have a universe filled with abnormally intelligent people all with skills to wtfpwn everyone else in things such as Tactics, Market Manipulation, and fleet warfare.

I'm 32 and one of the reasons that I love EVE is because this game is so hardcore and complex that the typical "derrrr mash 1 for fireball makes me **** hot!!!" crowd usually leave in disgust.
I keep MMO hopping, and everywhere I go I keep running into kids that seem to have just learned the f word and can't form a complete sentence without dropping it at least a dozen times. The reason that I have never quit EVE, or actually one of the many many reasons, is that I can always log on here and expect a much more mature community.

However it makes me feel alot younger to see all these *ahem* old codgers *ducks* posting.
Best game EVA.
Also, compared to other nefariously popular MMO's (C'mon Adidas, ping me for that one!) - EVE's playerbase is amazingly aweosome.
