          Thank you for taking the moral high ground and deciding that everyone is "younger" and that it was better in the past.

          My "I don't care what other people think" attitude has been the right one for 4+ Years now. 
  Really, if a guy starts smacking local, i ignore. If a guy starts witty remarks off topic, i reply the constructive ones. Both are thinking, I don't get a response, I must have sucked. Especially the young, but also the elder. 
  This is a grown up game, I act like one and succeed.

  Its a game. I dont know about you, but I dont put on a fricking suit everytime I logg onto EVE and pretend Im on a conference.
  Sure, people who is swearing and stuff in local can be a little bit annoying.

          I seem to remember a figure of about 26 years old. The average age from MMOs as a whole is closer to 28, so EVE is on the young side if that is to be believed.

          I find it rather interesting to see so many people who believe that older people can be trusted to be nice and act responsibly when history has, time and time again, proved that assumption to be incorrect. ----------- When I was a n00b, I spake as a n00b, I understood as a n00b, I thought as a n00b: but when I became pr0, I put away n00bish things. |

          Edited by: azura nester on 21/11/2007 01:04:59 does average age matter at all? ive met a lot of older people that act more childish then their younger counterparts. and anyways, it gives us pvpers more people to shoot that "know what they are doing"

          I'd say we're probably averaging mid 20's. Game is has a lot older player base than almost any other I'd imagine.

          Although I think EVE's playerbase is older than most MMOs, there's really no way to determine it, since a person under 18 (or whenever you're old enough to get a credit card where you live) will use their parents card, thus showing the age of the parent and not themselves when CCP look up the numbers.

          I am 24. I think such a complex game fails to keep hold of young players because they just dont understand the financial side to the game and want everything given to them on a plate.
  On top of that its a frustrating game at times so Teenagers probably find it harder to not go on a rampage when they loose alot of stuff

  Not necessarily. In general, whenever obnoxious people post on forums, it drives reasonable, mature people out. Simply because EVE is growing, you are inevitably going to get more obnoxious people, some of which will post on forums, driving out mature people. This will happen simply because even if the percentage of immature people remains constant, the absolute number will increase, increasing the absolute number of flamewars/etc on forums.
