Jimmy Ronson State Protectorate Caldari State 0	Posted - 2015.01.17 22:36:56 - [1] - Quote 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.
Sylveria Relden Relden Enterprises 57	Posted - 2015.01.17 22:43:59 - [2] - Quote I don't think physical age is relative- it's mainly maturity (or the lack thereof) that people are concerned about.

Marsha Mallow 1855	Posted - 2015.01.17 22:58:58 - [5] - Quote If you're not an annoying screecher no-one will really notice. If you are, and use your age to justify being annoying, people will remark that you are an annoying screechy teenager. It's as simple as that, really - and for some reason this seems to be the case for female EvE players too. Plenty of the decent folks have kids (some of whom play) and are reasonably tolerant. Avoid the intolerant ones, don't take it too personally etc. You don't have to tell everyone your real age either btw. Maybe your close friends or corp leadership when you join. Otherwise tell them you're a late bloomer and prepare for some teasing. If people go out of their way to torment you over your age, shoot them and say it was an accident. In a really high voice. DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!
Concord Guy's Cousin State War Academy Caldari State 358	Posted - 2015.01.17 23:00:19 - [6] - Quote If you're a mature 14 year old most corps will be pretty accepting, if not you'll get short shrift. The age range that plays Eve is pretty broad; it goes from people your own age to some that are in their 70's or older.

Dracones Tarsis Inc 37	Posted - 2015.01.17 23:05:45 - [7] - Quote There are some corps that are 18+ only. So check up on that before you look to join. Many corps run open fleets and/or there are open fleet opportunities all over Eve. I know FW had open fleets all the time and the people there would recruit if you were a good pilot. You might consider trying out some open fleets and if you can follow orders and show discipline, you'll get corp invites from people who will vouch for you.
David Therman University of Caille Gallente Federation 58	Posted - 2015.01.17 23:06:10 - [8] - Quote I suppose it just depends on the corp really; during my time looking through the recruitment boards, as well as looking them up IG, I've spotted quite a few that'll list maturity as one of their requirements. Sometimes they'll be quite specific about the age, and sometimes it'll be more general. I wouldn't say most online communities hate teens; rather, it's the people who're crass/immature every time they type into the keyboard, or those who just flame for the hell of it... and that's not a group exclusive to teenagers. As to finding a corp that not only accepts you, but you actually feel comfortable in... well, that can be quite tricky. From experiences elsewhere, I'd imagine those sort of operations would require you to be on comms for the sole purpose of listening to the FC, you probably wouldn't need to talk much, if at all... if they use it to talk/exchange banter then you'll need to see where things lie and whether they're comfortable including you. As Marsha said, you may end up with a couple of rotten apples, but don't let that put you off; every game has those. All I can add to that is good luck!

I have a person in my chat channel for months, only recently I learned he isn't even the legal drinking age here in The Netherlands (which is 18 years now). Before that, I would have estimated him well in his 20s. So, age isn't usually a big thing for other players, it's how mature you are. Any EVE player would rather play with a mature teenage player then with a childish and bitchy person in his early 40s.

Last I heard it lasts a year, frrom birthday to birthday. 14 lasts about 1/14th of your life, 50 only lasts 1/50th. So proportionally speaking, 14 is much longer than 50. As for the OP's question: there are corps who refuse to take minors (anyone under "age of majority" or whatever) simply because they don't want to go to gaol for talking about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, and thus being accused of "grooming" a minor.

Marsha Mallow 1857	Posted - 2015.01.17 23:57:10 - [20] - Quote David Therman wrote: I've spotted quite a few that'll list maturity as one of their requirements. Sometimes they'll be quite specific about the age, and sometimes it'll be more general. I've done recruitment for a few corps and I can honestly say some of the best players I've ever recruited were teenagers who explicitly broke our 18+ or 25+ label. We let them in because we liked them, as people (and despite a fair bit of teasing, they gave as good as they got). An awful lot of 'vets' are suspiciously young too IRL especially when they've played the character continuously. We just put that age minimum into our recruitment to reassure people we were mature (which was a complete lie, old people are disgraceful at times). There is perhaps a justifiable concern about longevity in this game along with personality, but otherwise it's just intolerance. Whenever I see a corp description announcing "no drama" I take it as a "no women, aiiii" sign. After a bit of study it appears that they have enough drama queens already, and can't cope with the competition. @ Jimmy anyway, good luck with the search, and as previously mentioned - take it in stride. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right corp, but the friends you make along the way are worth it. Use ingame channels and the forums to get in touch (and stay in touch) with likeminded people. There are some mouthy teen players who have been fairly high profile, and trolled to hell over it, but persisted. So stick with it, even if you mess up. One of the richest people ingame informed me of his age a while back, and when I worked out his starting age was close to yours, I was really impressed tbh. Mainly because he's so much more likeable and mature than virtually everyone else ingame. But his corpies have to have known his age along the way, and it doesn't seem to have done any harm.

Aladar Dangerface Absolutely Certain 102	Posted - 2015.01.18 00:09:12 - [23] - Quote I fly with a guy who was about your age when he started playing.(maybe slightly older) Iv known him since he was 16-17 and he is waaaaaayyyyy more mature than me (he is about 20 now and I'm 30). He and I ended up as directors in a semi-professional c5 pvp corp and basically ended up running it for a good while. So like everyone else has said age shouldn't matter as long as u act mature and behave, then no one will really mind. Ps. Blod if you read this then your a ** and I hate you (told you about my maturity ) I don't need twitter. I'm already following you.**
Zimmer Jones Aliastra Gallente Federation 53	Posted - 2015.01.18 00:13:58 - [24] - Quote Eve welcomes you with open palms, no matter what your age. As long as you show for ops, and do the assigned chores I don't think many people would care. And 14 was an awesome year, but i haven't be ID'd, ever, so i'm totally biased. Not that you should do anything i did. Then again, if you're really into playing eve, you won't have much time for that other stuff. +1 for asking

As a childish and bitchy person in his 40s i can vouch for this. All i would add is that having an under-18 player on comms would modify the comms. Some corps have the 18+ requirement not because of your immaturity, but their desire to relax into immaturity, appalling language, manners.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you are, and use your age to justify being annoying, people will remark that you are an annoying screechy teenager. It's as simple as that, really - and for some reason this seems to be the case for female EvE players too. Plenty of the decent folks have kids (some of whom play) and are reasonably tolerant. Avoid the intolerant ones, don't take it too personally etc. You don't have to tell everyone your real age either btw. Maybe your close friends or corp leadership when you join. Otherwise tell them you're a late bloomer and prepare for some teasing. If people go out of their way to torment you over your age, shoot them and say it was an accident. In a really high voice. Not sure what you mean by this comment.. "- and for some reason this seems to be the case for female EvE players too." In my 2 years playing Eve I've never once had an issue being teased over my voice or being a female player. It wouldn't surprize me if it does happen, but it has never happened to me. Besides, as with any social, online game everyone should be prepared for some fun and some degree of trolling and tom foolery. It's all part of the experience. But as you said, it's not meant to be taken personally..and if the intent is personal..well, you don't want to be flying with them anyways. It's not about age, but maturity. Judging by the OP's post, he types and sounds more mature than a great deal of the players I have encountered during my eve career. @ the OP...you'll be fine. Eve is a great game and has some great people in it..but like anything, there are always those "others". But yeah, Coms are crucial to successful opperations. No one is gonna type everything in the heat of battle. Look around for a good corp..try to get to know the members before you join. You'll know when you find the right one. If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..

It's been said before, but I'll say it again to drive it home. You don't write as a 14yo would be expected to write. And that is all that matters. Until you get into Teamspeak world, your only essential RL attribute displayed in game is what you say in text, and how you say it. You keep typing like you're doing, and you don't need to declare your true age, you could even lie about it if you wanted - RL is not a requirement of EVE. One of my best recruits was also 14 when he joined the game, and shortly after the corp. He said he was 16. We got the hint when he stayed 16 for two years ... but it didn't matter one bit. The one word of advice though, as you are young, be aware of the RL aspect of the people you speak with. Don't give out any personal details, etc. Whle I've not heard of any dodge people stalking people off EVE, there can always be a first. Most up, enjoy the game, and indulge. JOin a corp, see how it works out, ... and move until you find one that you work well with. I'll guarantee that you'll find much older people who are far less mature than you are. :) "Lykouleon wrote: STOP TOUCHING ICONIC SHIP PARTS"

I started playing eve-online at age of 15, and after 2 month my application got accepted to a good corp. I think those corps who set an age requirement to aply to them, are bad corps. I have seen so much far more inteligent kid then adult. So don't give up and keep try to find a good corp. I agree age is not the factor, maturity is. However, a lot of corps have age limits, such as 18, to avoid issues that may arise from any speak, tom foolery, or general douchebaggery in the presence of a minor. Just my opinion..and experience, on the matter. A lot of what goes on on TS/mumble/vent is adult coversation/language....not that they don't hear it elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't want my child hearing half of what goes on in some of the coms I've been in. If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..

Of course some people may think they have a better way of understanding things than others. Personally I began to play EVE when I was 13-14 years old which is 6 years ago, since then I have learned a lot, and it doesn't seem as anybody has found out about it. So as long as you post constructively and act mature, you should be fine.
