Ptraci 3 R Corporation The Irukandji. 1885	Posted - 2015.01.18 01:31:00 - [31] - Quote One of the best FC's I've met was a kid around your age. I've also known some pretty good PVPers in their early-mid teens. Like others have said, it's not really about chronological age its about maturity. If you act like a spoiled brat you'll be put in your place (unless of course you are the leader of a major alliance where acting like a spoiled brat is mandatory).

Vyl Vit 1012	Posted - 2015.01.18 05:11:46 - [34] - Quote And, there's your unqualified "maybe." Fact is, EVE players (as is true for all mature gamers) have no tolerance for kids. So, you get a lot of "it all depends." What it depends on, if you haven't figured it out yet, is if the kid's behavior resembles theirs. That being said, I have to add: I've never been exposed to a more immature group of adults than in MMOs. Anyone with any sense has already left town.

It's not the age, it's how you behave. And please don't look at my portrait! Oh don't mind me, Mr. Naharis always peers upwards through the posts. But you are exactly right. As long as you behave well, keep a calm head on your shoulders and don't get overtly whacky or whiny or any of the unsavory stuff that we despise, you'll do well. And if you squeak? Well, use a voice editor.

Solops Crendraven Solops Inc 52	Posted - 2015.01.18 07:33:19 - [38] - Quote Jimmy Ronson wrote: I recently got into EVE about a month ago and have been having a whale of a time. Recently I started doing some factional warfare and the more I look around the internet, the more it seems that joining a corp is the best way to get the most out of EVE in general. The problem is, I am only 14 years old and most online gaming communities hate teens. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but the vast majority of corps seem to have comms as a requirement. This makes me a bit cautious about joining one so I'm wondering if most corps in EVE are against having an adolescent among their ranks due to the sound of their voice or a bias. Adolescent boys are widely considered to be one of, if not the most, sought-after demographic by game development studios, but the uptick of female gamers could be a signal of changes to come. Mobile ad firm Flurry Analytics found that on on the whole, women presented a much larger value proposition to game developers in terms of revenue and brand engagement. Bottom line I have no Issues I feel the more CCP Can Cater to all sorts to gamers age and Demographics the Larger the Playerbase will be at this Point Eve Online is really in the need of more Players such as yourself.

I think you will find your group. We have someone who has squeeky squeek voice in TS at the times. So do I when I start to sing.
Amarisen Gream The ArK's Hammer ArK Alliance 61	Posted - 2015.01.18 10:45:19 - [42] - Quote You seem more mutate than a guy in the alliance I am in. As someone stated before, I think he falls under the late bloomer effect. And as stated by many before me - it isn't the age that matters it is the maturity. xoxo Amarisen Gream
Yarda Black Militaris Industries Northern Coalition. 535	Posted - 2015.01.18 10:57:46 - [43] - Quote Sylveria Relden wrote: I don't think physical age is relative- it's mainly maturity (or the lack thereof) that people are concerned about. This basically. Also it leads to stuff like; "REKT" and such. Most established players already raised kids. Including teens. Having to do so again in a virtual environment they're looking to relax in, is rather "unrewarding". If you want to be a teen, join a teencorp. If you're looking to play EVE at its finest, behave like an adult. Then laugh at adults behaving like teens.

Pok Nibin Filial Pariahs 456	Posted - 2015.01.18 14:41:47 - [47] - Quote You have to admit, it's sort of confusing visa vis what is meant by "behave" in EVE - the place where the most treacherous, vile, immoral and murderous behavior is a social norm. What is meant by "behave yourself" in EVE? I'm really very curious. Does it mean don't say anything naughty in local, fleet or corp chat? (Don't bust a gut yet, there's more.) Does it mean only post relevant and polite things on the forum? (The chortles fly!) Does it mean don't cheat your corp mates, or steal from the corp? Does it mean always do what you say you're going to do, and never be deceitful? PLEASE. TELL ME. What is this "BEHAVE" you expect from KIDS but not from YOURSELVES? HMMMM????? Really. This thread is hilarious. Dont fight it; Rejoin your Amarrian patriarchs; You know you want to.

You have a better chance of not making it an issue by not bringing it up at all. I agree, age is not so important only if you can show restraint under fire in combat. However one must be careful as was already said about child predators maybe around preying on the innocent among us. So better to keep quiet about your age and not make it public knowledge.

This thread is hilarious. While I cannot speak for everyone else, I'll speak for myself- I treat others with respect, maturity and dignity. Does that make me "better" than or "less" than anyone else? That's subjective to the person who's interpreting it thus. I live (IRL and in-game) by the principle of treat others the way you'd like to be treated. It's really not "rocket science", folks. IMO we're all in the same boat, IRL and in-game- we're all trying to make a living, all trying to "get ahead" in some form or fashion, and although I'm not "ambitious" I don't begrudge those who are.

This thread is hilarious. To me: Don't do to another what you don't want people to do to you. If you are upset when people call you names, don't do it to another person too. If you want to do be a pilot that does "commonly less accepted activities" that's perfectly fine. But don't rage to people if something doesn't go as you expect it should be going.

DaReaper Net 7 1704	Posted - 2015.01.18 22:28:07 - [54] - Quote I had a few 14 years olds in my corp over the years, it really depend son the type you are. i had two players who were 14 and they would not shut up. I did not use voice cooms so it was all txt, but it was irritating, instead of typing a full thought they wrote in broken lines. So like instead of saying: Hey reap, i think i might be ready for a drake, what sort of setup do you think i could get and what type of targets should i shoot? Also are we going to pvp soon? it would be: Hey Reap I think i'm ready for a drake what kind of setup should i get tanget here etc It gets bothersome. But they were alright people so never bugged me. I had one that was a complete **, annoying as **, and i wound up kicking him. One was mature and played till 18 then went mia for a few years. I've also had a 17 year old that by his voice i swore was in his 40's so it depends OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Really. This thread is hilarious. Thanks for asking, the expectation is the same for young and old: generally be more of a fountain than a drain. This covers humour, chatter, responsibility, patience and self control. PS Hilarious means something's so funny it wrecks your mind and your life, so that you have to sleep under a rock somewhere with poop and leaves in your hair. Overuse of it is draining. Goggles. Making me look good. Making you look good.

One of my oldest friend in EVE started playing when he was about 14 or 15. Basically if you're a good person to talk to, keep your promises and don't talk too much bullshit (some is OK) then you're good. We see the things you say and do, not your birth certificate.

Mr Epeen It's All About Me 7594	Posted - 2015.01.19 01:32:32 - [58] - Quote I see a lot of prejudice in this thread and I'm not sure why. Most 14 year olds will come into a game like this and kick your ass. They've been gaming since birth. They live for the kill. They're not worried about losing ships. Nor do they cry in the forum when they don't get their way. Unlike the 'vets' in here, they adapt and continue making the oldsters look like a bunch of useless tools. They didn't grow up on MMOs like most here. They grew up on FPS and have no fear. The first thing they do when they start their first character is undock and shoot something. In my opinion, CCP should be actively reaching out to younger players. They are the future of this game. Not the whiny, semi adult players coming from other lame MMOs and spending the rest of their EVE career crying over every little thing, like most of the vets that I see in this forum. It wouldn't take much for some teen equivalent of Something Awful to put together the next unbeatable alliance. The only reason I'm guessing it hasn't happened yet is because this is a subscription game. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!
