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

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. -----------------------------------

Ironic seen as your post is the worst in the thread. The average age used to be quite high. It's gradually dropped over time. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig

Was briefly on EVE last year when I was working in the US, but decided to wait until I was back in the EU before starting in earnest. Unfortunately I completely forgot what my account name was and which email address I had used to create it, so I have had to start a completely new account >< Prior MMO's in chronological order:- SWG (pre-CU), Everquest 2, City of Heroes, World of Warcraft, Tabula Rasa, EVE online. Had been looking for a sci-fi MMO for a while and EVE seems to supply everything I need in an MMO. Hopefully here to stay.
Z3r0n THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS....	Posted - 2008.06.25 08:00:00 - [39] Edited by: Z3r0n on 25/06/2008 08:04:51 I'm fairly certain that the average age of the eve subscribers was said to be 27. That was in one of the dev blogs at the beginning of this year iirc. I'm currently pulling the average down from 27... I'm "only" 24. Btw. In case you care: I'm one of the youngest members of my corp.. there are about 3 or 4 others that are about my age and the rest are 30+ I think. Somehow most people I play with are older then me... But I guess thats mainly due to 18+ recruitment policy.... and luck. Currently Training: ePeen Compensation Rank (19)

Average of of the EVE subscriber? About seven months. That's been mentioned in several places. It's just one of those things I think about, when someone suggests that they'll "never catch up".

ShardowRhino Legion 0f The Damned	Posted - 2008.06.25 11:07:00 - [63] Originally by: MidnightMatriarch 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.

BTW I'll be 28 soon enough ^^. Ugh, another self loathing American. Honestly ALL MINORS OF ALL NATIONS are going to be idiots. I have met a lot of whiny American minors in another game. However the most annoying,cry baby of them all happened to be British. If I got the choice to punch one of them, it would be him and id damn well make it count. Chances are your going to run into more American minors in game because...GASP your playing in the same time zone as them! All the Euro kiddies have long been in bed or out causing hell for you to notice them. I hate whiny kids in games. I've met my share of obnoxious ones but I have also met some ,not in eve, that were able to pass for an older player or at least had better manners then some of the euro and aussie teens i have met. Theres always good and bad but to suggest that 1 group has the most is just moronic. As for me im 28. As for the reason there aren't likely as many American teens in this game is because EVE has zero presence in the game shops. I only heard of this game through a friend in another MMO. If it wasnt for him I would probably be first hearing about Eve during BSG episodes. The problem with wow is how commercial it is.Just like final fantasy 7 brought out all the wanna be rpg players saying it was the greatest rpg ever created, that same is true with wow. people that have never played an rpg or mmo have been brought into it by wow.Because they have only played wow and never another game on a pc, they think they are true gamers. You have to hear about them babble on about some fairy and sword play as though it was something unique. FF7 players that thought the series started with part 7 were posers.They caused a flood of boring,ill designed "rpgs" rushed to the market to get a peice of the action. Real gamers were then lumped in with those posers. The same is now true with those in MMOs and the wow players. Wow itself is just a slicker version of eq2 with gfx that are much more cartoon like. Its nothing new or unique. It somehow got the attention of non gamers. People that never played warcraft got into it somehow. Its all you see at the game shops. Its the warhammer 40k of mmos. BattleTech > 40k but 40k is far more commercial, therefore it must be a better game. Same is true with wow vs any other game out there. its an average game but nothing special. as for the players, i knew some guys trying it and a chick with a hell of a rack and really cute that was a heck of a flirt but half way cross country and in and out of a relationship

My first MMO was Star Wars Galaxies, back in it's Pre-CU glory days, did the Jedi thing back when it was hard and rewarding, stuck it out through the Combat Downgrade, then eventually gave up as it failure cascaded due to the New Gawdawful Experience. I love EVE because of both it's complexity and it's hardcore nature, it's the first game since Pre-CU SWG to offer me that. My opinions are my own and do not reflect those of my corporation or alliance.

I love EVE because of both it's complexity and it's hardcore nature, it's the first game since Pre-CU SWG to offer me that. I also appreciate the fact that EVE, due to it's nature, attracts more people around my age than WoW and it's infinite clones do. Nearly everyone i've been in a corp with is an ex-pre cu SWG player and for most of them it was their first MMO, and they started playing EVE as it was the only other sandbox sci-fi MMO out there. So you have to think if SWG never existed, we would have a lot less players that would never have even experienced EVE in the first place. (hmm, did that sound anywhere near coherent?)

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 Umm.........

In Eve, getting your character to what can be considered "end game" can take three or four years. I think many 12 year olds just dont' have that type of attention span. 3-5 months? I've levelled characters within 3 weeks to 70. And that's not even power-levelling just playing normally.

Takes about 10 days played to get to 70 (and that's still quite fast), so 240 hours in 21 days, I'd say that's not playing 'normally'.

But of course it's generally known fact that EVE players are more mature, intelligent and generally more successful in life than all the 10 million plebs in WoW. 99% of us are also dashingly good looking and even though majority of us already has one foot in the grave (closing middle ages), we still get the chicks (whenever one of them makes a mistake of logging into our spaceship Internet game). After we put the kids in bed and set up the Sex-and-the-city DVD for the wife, we log on to EVE and type really prfoundly deep and intelligent messages about how CCP is runing the game and just how badly nanos need nerfing.

Rpeg	Posted - 2008.06.26 07:25:00 - [129] My gaming involvement used to be such a private affair. This is my first MMO and besides trying to learn about EVE I've been fascinated by the growth of online gaming as I've observed it over the years and have been curious about demographic info as well. I myself am 26. I imagine the mean is around that number. I also heard many EVE players are programmers, engineers, IT, and designers? It seems interesting to me that gaming style may correspond with lifestyle and career choices. -- estevancarlos.com -- autechre - ep7 - track 1: rpeg estevancarlos.com

Epegi Givo Demon Theory	Posted - 2008.06.26 08:06:00 - [132] 15 here, and quite mature too. Sure I enjoy shooting stuff and can flipping, but I almost always refund the people I take from, just cause it is the nice thing to do. I have played SWG, stuck with it cause even though the NGE sucked, it was still pretty good, and some of the good stuff that was there (cities, not being focused around combat) didn't get removed. But after time I went over to WoW because it (believe it or not) was still better than SWG. But I still played SWG, and was on the SWG forums. When one day in the GAT (imagine OOP here) someone mentioned EVE. I got interested and googled EVE, found out about some basic EVE things. Now me and my IRL friend were comign up with an idea of a perfect mmo. We were thinking of a star wars (sci-fi) game where you were allowed to shoot anyone, anywhere, anytime. But sometimes it would be a bad idea to do so because police woudl come and stop you. Also we had imagined it to be all on one big server. And we imagined that it would be very player run, ultimate sandbox. Then I found out about EVE, and it nearly matched everything I had hoped for in a good game. So tried out EVE, and loved it. Of coarse I still had a WoW account and a SWG account. SWG started getting a bit better, so I decided to drop WoW completely. When I started EVE SWG just started getting painful to play, so I dropped SWG too. I have been playing EVE for about 5 months, and don't think I will be leaving anytime soon.

In Eve, getting your character to what can be considered "end game" can take three or four years. I think many 12 year olds just dont' have that type of attention span. 3-5 months? I've levelled characters within 3 weeks to 70. And that's not even power-levelling just playing normally. I just recently leveled a Paladin into the upper 40s in twelve days. Averaging a level every three to five hours online. And 34 here. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

Perhaps turning this thread into a graph of ages would be a cool thing to do - but from my experience, the majority of pilots I have met over the last 2 years have been around the ages of 16-26. The 2nd largest majority I would put my money on players 26+ years old. OF course, I met pilots of ages outside these ranges before, but probably 2/3 of the time, 16-26 are the ages of players I tend to meet. And yes, god bless EVE and its players who have some form of a brain capacity. WoW is infested with Nimrods and children - EVE is pretty much, to put it simply, very college level. Can't say that about any other MMO that comes to mind. ____________________ "All warfare is based on deception... we must seem unable...seem inactive...and crush him " - Sun Tzu

I know I'm asking for too much, but meh. Also, I'm looking forward to finally growing up and hitting 30 in a few months. My first MMO ever was EvE, I bought it off the shelf at best buy no knowing it was an MMO (or what an MMO was for that matter). Took a break to play Lineage 2, which sucked then came back. I was a bow and arrow guy in that crappy game but im a Blaster junkie and production whor3 in Eve. Dont really see the relation but there you go.
Chococat Perkone	Posted - 2008.06.27 12:24:00 - [160] Originally by: xJillianx So, 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..) That's not a nice thing to say. I am not aware of us even meeting before?

Tyler Darkwave Technologies Pure.	Posted - 2008.06.27 12:46:00 - [161] Originally by: MidnightMatriarch 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 ^^. 15 here, 16 next month. Been playing EVE for a year and nearly 7 months. :)
Ultin Harvor	Posted - 2008.06.27 12:59:00 - [162] I am 17, going on 18 in August. I've been playing since I was 15 and everyone who I converse with in game is well over 20, a lot of people who were in my 6th Form (college type place) talked about WoW and even they said it was an extremely immature game. Currently I am the only EVE player out of my group of friends, although one is going to try it soon..or so he said.

Brother Ka Minmatar	Posted - 2008.06.27 14:36:00 - [169] Just hit 29. Joined Eve earlier this month though, and I really wish I had done so earlier (so far it looks like everything I want from an mmo). Previous mmos include Anarchy Online, Jumpgate (the little older brother of Eve), A Tale in the Desert (weird mmo), World of Warcraft (had been waiting for that one since I heard about it, being a big fan of all previous Warcraft and Blizzard games (waiting for Wow incidentally also being the reason I didn't sign up for Eve when it was released)), and a few others for short periods of time. Been playing Wow on and off since the earlier beta tests. As to maturity level in Eve vs Wow: Eve seems to have a more mature member base, yes, but I think that can be said about pretty much any group anywhere.

Keitaro Baka Babylon Scientific and Industrial Enterprises Babylon Project	Posted - 2008.06.27 16:33:00 - [178] 26, playing off and on since second beta, so I was pretty young when I started. Oldest eve guy I know has grandkids, oldest is now 10 iirc, his sons all played aswell. Think he turns 70 this year. There are quite a few young'ns in eve, but I haven't met too many of 'em. For me the best part of being in a game with mostly 'mature' people is all the ridiculous smacktalk. A 14yr old knows like 20 R-rated words. In my pvp corps we can talk freely about so much filth and yet have great political and phylisophical discussions the next day, talk about work, the good old days etc. Yeah eve rules. And smacking people creatively using terms as midget p0rn is just something 14yr olds can't really do.. All the stuff above does not necessarily reflect my corp, my alliance or even me..
