xJillianx Roving Guns Inc. RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:32:00 - [1] So, Here I am sitting at work discussing the beatuy that is EvE Online. I just received my copy of Tony Gonzales' "Eve - The Empyrean Age" and im thinking about reading the first chapter right now. Either way we got on the topic of what the average age of EvE subscribers is as our player base "at times" appears to be much more mature than our enemys the WoW tards and the Hello Kitty failures (chococat is tehgey..) So. I'd love to see a dev response to an acurate number to this question if possible.....What is the Average Age of EvE Subsribers? Thank you in Advance, Jillian....By the way im 22
Zora Community for Justice ParadoXon Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:36:00 - [2] Lucky you, I'm still trying to get a hand on my copy of the book here.. not easy to find. I'm 26, soon turning 27.... but I was 21 when I first played eve, god I'm feeling old around here
Abrazzar	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:36:00 - [3] Considering the forum it must be somewhere between 6 and 8 years. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Rhanna Khurin	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:42:00 - [5] I don't know, but most people i have been in corps with or have met are 25+ I'm the crusty age of 32 this year.
An Anarchyyt Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:42:00 - [6] The last time an average age was stated that I know of, was awhile ago. And I believe that age was 27. Anyway, I'm not 27. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
Selene Dukat	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:43:00 - [7] I am 31, and of all the mmos out there, the eve community is by far the most mature. Nothing will ever be perfect, but this is the best out there.
Zerconian Darkwave Technologies Pure.	Posted - 2008.06.25 03:58:00 - [8] Yep, I've found this the most mature compared to most... am 18 btw
xJillianx Roving Guns Inc. RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.25 04:01:00 - [9] I would say that the maturity level is largely based on the fact that we dont have silly looking avatars waving our silly swords/guns around while simultaniously casting spells and doing the pelvic thrust emote. Plus EvE is cold, dark and at times really scarry.
Laciter	Posted - 2008.06.25 04:16:00 - [10] 31. I doubt CCP has accurate data on the average age of EVE players. It seems to be mostly college age and people in their 20's. BTW, there are plenty of mature and intelligent players in WoW and other MMOs. In fact the majority of players I ran into in WoW were in the 20's, some much older. There are some kiddies running around though, and generally immature players, but you just have to find a good guild. Honestly all this WoW hatred and condescension around here I find off-putting.

I think we all hate WoW primarily because they are Hyper-Mainstream and that there is in comparison so little content in it however your standard Best-Buy nerd is all about it....plus man seriously....What other game can your character fire artilery shells from their body/ship/avatar? lol.
Togg Bott 801	Posted - 2008.06.25 04:32:00 - [12] 41 here.. and dont understand the anti-wow rage... but then again i have never played wow... eve is my MMo cherry
MidnightMatriarch	Posted - 2008.06.25 04:38:00 - [13] I've yet to meet someone under the age of 16 in-game who has played more than a month. EVE just seems to repel the average minor, especially, its sad to say, the average American minor.(Yes I am an American, and I am simply bringing up an observation about how American kids are different from most of the rest of the world, please don't edit me Mr. Mod ^^ ) EVE is a cold, dark,unforgiving world. The same qualities that make me love the game seem to be like kryptonite to kids. I guess it takes a certain level of maturity to continue to play after your first few hard lessons. Though this is by no means a bad thing, in my opinion less kids equates to a better community, though certain members of the EVE community, EVE-o especially, tend to still make a colossal arse out of themselves. BTW I'll be 28 soon enough ^^.
Tojo Chigurh	Posted - 2008.06.25 04:40:00 - [14] 28 here, and Eve is my first MMO after a 5 year hiatus. I played Ultima Online for a total of 2 months before it got too annoying. I'm here because of the economics and the politics that have evolved thanks to a mostly hands off approach from CCP. None of this hold-your-hand nanny state business you get out of the others.

TimMc Genos Occidere	Posted - 2008.06.25 06:02:00 - [20] I've had corpmates who are 14 and some who are in their 60s. I myself am 19.

Jane Bennet Alloyed Tritanium Bar And Grill	Posted - 2008.06.25 06:10:00 - [21] Yes, the average age of EVE players can be calculated after all players post their ages into this thread. All 200K+ of them... I suspect though that CCP's numbers have flaws: It's my belief that older people tend to have more accounts, on average, than younger players, and if they fill out their information correctly, this will skew the results upwards. For example, I'm 37 and have 5 accounts. If CCP counts the average player age, do they count me as 5 37-year olds, or just one?

Good point and that also brings up another stat I've always wanted to know. How many people have multiple accoundts? and how many do they have?
Tsiros	Posted - 2008.06.25 06:20:00 - [23] personally 29. in the corp we have gamers from 24-57. in a way it makes sence. most of the young ones cant be bothered with the time eve takes to get started (just think of the learning skills alone) and its considered to be a difficult game for those youths that want to pew pew for a couple of hours per day.

Gwendion Bladed Moon Zzz	Posted - 2008.06.25 06:56:00 - [30] I'm 26. Most of the corps I have flown with have been between 30-50 years old. (Even had one guy who was 72, no joke) I think the average age around eve is 25-30. Most of the players seem to be above average intelligence (at least in real life, as our IQ drops when we log in, nubbins undock already :P), and professionals. (In marketing speak, we're that elusive group of males, yarr CCP hooked and baited us good) I have seen younger players, though they tend to be the group of people who don't last here very long. As they get shunned for their immaturity. Im sure if you look at the statistics, the older players have played longer (2002, 2003, 2004) younger players are younger if they last past that 6 month retention. (I have seen very few non-children-of-other-players under 18 that play for very long) And to answer someone above.. the Anti-WoW thing is elitism. Eve > Wow. Plain and simple. And we dont mind sharing that bit of fact with the rest of the world. -----------------------------------
