How Old Are You?

Hey! Why is the german's cut of point 35+? lol

And about that bracket thing, I did realize that the numbers were a bit skewered, but the reason I set them up that way is because there's a distinct personality and mindset between those age groups.

e.g.
13- younglings
14-18 teenage, pre-college
19-25 college kids
26-30 post college, work force yuppies
and then the rest, normal 10 years "adult" span

Although in retrospect I should have gave the post college yuppies a fair chance by at least giving them the early 30s. Ah well.

Why it seems like just yesterday color TVs were the hot new item.

Bah Black n white still looks better , plus colour tv took all the magic away from watching things like snooker

Somehow 80+ just doesn't seem to really cater for us 760+ year olds

You don't count, first of all you are undead and besides of that, being hard-wired into the server might ensure good overall performance but doesn't make you a player

good grief, if you take the 26-39 age range combined, it just barely beat the 19-25 bracket.

why do you think there is drop in players from 26-30? then it goes up again? What happends to us during those years? Is there a large populations decrease, where the probablility of dying is greatly increased during those years? Mid-life gaming crisis?

It's just the bucket size, 26-30 is 4 years, while 30-39 is 9....



Edit: Well, size is a little funny, because 30 is in both, sort of...

Many people 26-30 are raising young children or have just started families. No doubt as the kids start to grow up and are able to do more for themselves, their parents will have a bit more time for playing games.

I think It'd be interesting to compare the US players to the Brits, It seems to me that the average age of US players was a bit older than what we're seeing post-merger

Hmmm - do it over Vinny? I'm a little curious myself about how many fellow amerrikans are in my age group compared to the other english speaking players. C'mon - whip out those statistics!
