How old are you?

[Eyes of Origin]

31 been playing for 2 years. My 8 year old is learning how to run around or rather away from other reds lol my 6 year doesnt have much interest though. But, hoping to be able to post 41 and playing for 12 years one day and 18 playing for 10

I'm actually surprised by the ages of the majority of players ... but I dont think many of the "kids" I know read stratics.

 

[Parnoc]

Be 70 in February, born in 1941. Been playing for nearly 7 years now. Hmmm, I'm the oldest one replying so far?

 

[yuggie]

I'm 41...and hope to still be playing for many years to come!

 

[Pink Floyd]

23, been playing 11 years, geez, that's almost half my life. I think I should go shoot myself.

 

[King Durango]

31, playing since I was 23 (off and on). That's more than a 1/4 of my life. Yikes. I never thought about it like that before.

 

[Llwyd]

Wow - 30-40 & 40 and over are running neck and neck right now. Both have 74. I don't feel like the Lone Ranger any longer. Well... maybe just a little....

 

[kelmo]

Yeah? Let me choose.

No offense to the OP (whose posts I honestly do like to read), but what does this have to do with this thread being in UHALL as opposed to the OT forum?

Lighten up, dude. Just don't read it. OT is allowed to varying degrees depending on the forum. This sort of thread pops up every few months on Uhall.

What is pertinent about this post is what age the Stratics folks are.

 

[Beer_Cayse]

shoulda popped a couple more decades in there to get a good demographic. I hadda elect 40+ but I outweigh that by a good 20 years.

It finds out the age of the player base that plays this game and posts on the boards...and it does help with talking to people in the game..Some might remember WWII some might even NOT know who President Regan was...That does help out in the playing sense...

But all in all everyone of every age loves playing this game...and posting on the boards. Hence why its on UOHall and not off topic...

 

[Astrel]

I am of the Purple Haze generation, not the music, but the stuff you put in your mouth, which I reckon to be a couple of hundred times back then, often 2 or 3 at a time, but of course I didn't swallow it.

 

[Deepwoods]

all i can say is 1961 was a very fine year around Dec.2

 

[Black Sun]

Just turned 29 a few weeks ago. I started back in 2000, shortly before my 20th birthday. The friend who got me playing was a co-worker who was 51 at the time. I actually find it a little surprising how many "real grownups" we have playing UO.

 

[Balian of Asgard]

its nice to know that the majority of the ppl here remember what it was like to roll a 20 on the balron

 

[Llwyd]

34 today!

Happy Birthday, kiddo!

 

[SetItOff]

16, started right after AOS launch 2003ish

been playing evr since! good 6 years

 

[Saphireena]

40 turning on 41 soon. And I agree with many others, it's strange that the poll options end at 40 and over. I'd have been very interested to see the rest of the age groups!

However I'm really glad to see this poll was made because it's good proof to show friends when trying to tell them that UO has a very mature crowd.

 

[Astrel]

Hawkeye, you should also do a poll on playstyle, for example, group or lone ranger, faction, pvp, pvm, craft, merchant, and whatever other styles there may be, preferably with a primary and a secondary choice (two polls in fact).

 

[Sip-n-Shine]

47 an still love playing Uo.

Excellent suggestion. Don't forget to include an "almost useless" category, for those of us who are *cough* effectively retired.

 

[Michael Wolf]

51 been playing almost the whole 12 years UO has been online. Started playing in Dec. I think.

Edit: Yep just checked, my account is 143 months old.

 

[GalenKnighthawke]

I am continually impressed by how entire families will play this game....are other MMOs like that? It's not my impression.

I'm also impressed by how many people start playing so young and yet do fine. Makes me all the gladder that I censor Galen's constant swearing in-game. To kill an imaginary orc is one thing; to learn "those" words is quite another.

[Grid]

Twenty-eight here, been playing on and off since I was seventeen. I remember that my dad got my account for me so I could still have something to do with my friends while stuck at home recovering the rest of the summer.

 

[Nok]

34 today!

Happy birthday Odin!

49 here, been playing Ultima Online for 12 years... Ultima for 29 years.

 

[SUPRsalad]

Uhh, hate to break it to ya Parnoc, but you won't be 70 until 2011.sorry...

 

[Llwyd]

Maybe it's time to call in that WWII Vet Queen Zen was talking about..

One of the oldest UO players I ever met on Chesapeake back in the day, was 20 yrs OLDER than I was. I got a kick out of him cuz he often got stuck babysitting his grandkids and he babysit with them in UO...and if they misbehaved in his home he ....PKd them out of town!

 

[Coldren]

Turned 29 in September..

But in every other regard, I'm an old man. I drive my Buick, tell kids to get off my damn lawn, and and complain about young people... That's what matters, right?

 

[lilcupcake]

I'm 29. I've been playing UO on and off since I was 17. I love this game and always will!

 

[SchezwanBeefy]

Born in 1989. Will be 21 next June. =] (But it means nothing since I'll be in Korea, where I can already drink. Bummer.)

 

[AleisterC]

ahhh i still remember getting my Vic20 in 1981 ,, sigh

 

[Storm]

ahhh i still remember getting my Vic20 in 1981 ,, sigh

I still have mine;-)

 

[Snakeman]

Looks around , makes sure Dielock isn't peeking - 52 & still having fun.

cars, what are cars ?

No aerodynamics huh bud

Oh & 9+ yrs now on UO. My kids stared with me & have grown away from it somewhat.

 

[Raider Red]

I will be 41 next month and I have been playing for about 6 years.


You Know when I was younger it used to be wine,women and song on a friday or saturday night but now it is coffee, Lady M and music from my bard.

 

[ACB1961]

48
wife is 50 & plays
& our son plays

 

[Anakena]

43. But I remember, several years ago I met a woman playing UO who was actually a grandmother playing sometimes with her daughter.

 

[Sindris]

ahhh i still remember getting my Vic20 in 1981 ,, sigh

Vic 20... lol I had a Timex Sinclair AND a PET computer. Neither was as beloved as my Commodore 64.

You've got it all wrong, my sun. Here's my favorite quote on the subject:

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

 

[Violence]

In the 20-30 range here. Oh and "Hi."..

 

[Aurelius]

Some might remember WWII some might even NOT know who President Regan was...

Regan was the possessed girl in 'The Exorcist', whilst the President was Reagan. I make no assumptions about why you confuse the two

 

[Zayin666]

OMG! I just check and Iam 33... I was 21 when I started playing.
I have recently returned to UO after a 3 year WoW break, so my account is only 10 years old...... I need houseteleporters!!!

 

[Norrar]

Going to shock a lot of people I play with but...

19 in 28 Days.

Played since Beta. Except a few years break.

 

[Connor_Graham]

You've got it all wrong, my sun. Here's my favorite quote on the subject:

I prefer:

If it's too loud, you're too old.

And yeah, I've got an 1800 watt, 8 speaker surround sound system in the house, and an 8 speaker 800 watt system including 2 12" Infiniti subwoofers in the car. It's hilarious to see how many oldsters I get rockin' as I'm going down the road.

 

[Merriweather]

So from 40 to whatever, we're all the same, huh? Don't ignore the older crowd, my friend; they are the one's who tend to have the steady jobs!

In my house there are two players, one 60 and one 28. One's a man and one's a woman. One is a tank mage and one is a pure warrior. One plays during the day and one plays at night. One pays the bills.

Any guesses?

 

[Pazuzu]

38; I'll be 39 in January.

 

[Pazuzu]

beloved as my Commodore 64.

That's why I used the quotes. By real grownups I meant people who can get a discount on small coffee at Burger King on Tuesday. You know, the ones who buy one small coffee at half price and spend 3 hour drinking it.
