Not half ... just you.It's not going to be a very accurate poll when half the people are answering the question, what age are you in years irl? and the other half are answering the question what age are you (uo) in months?
Thats not entirely true, and I can cite Albion Online as an example. In AO it a long haul through the destiny board to master skills but the game is accessible with great PvP without having to be a maxed out player. Much like UO was before Age of Items. There are many younger players playing, and enjoying a game similar in many ways to UO. They just do it better from a PvP perspective.I don't know IMO younger people these days are into instant gratification... they don't want to put in the time and effort that UO requires. They want games they can "beat" and "win"... which again they won't find with UO.
Really, you'd never guess it listening to the trash talk in general chat, would you?Not a single teenager. We're getting old, folks.
i would assume that any long term players that have been playing since Beta where probably like me 18-26 at the time.
so add 20 onto that and that should be where the majority of your players age should be 38-46.
im not adding younger players onto that cause i firmly believe this game is impossible to 'jump into' at this point. there is just too much stuff, too many systems.
*Cough*Kelmo*Cough*My daughter was that age when she was playing so that puts me in the Old Geezer age group. Wonder who the other 6 are? She got me hooked.
Shut the Pancake up Vic ( Just Helping Kelmo out here, so he does not have to get up from his lift chair and go to the computer )*Cough*Kelmo*Cough*
Older than dirt and proud of it.My daughter was that age when she was playing so that puts me in the Old Geezer age group. Wonder who the other 6 are? She got me hooked.
I'm one. My eldest daughter got me hooked back in '98... but she quit after the real world intervened and left me here.My daughter was that age when she was playing so that puts me in the Old Geezer age group. Wonder who the other 6 are? She got me hooked.
Same here my twin sons got me interested in this hot new game that was coming out.......... Been here ever since. They moved on to RuneScape, WOW, Guild Wars and now days play all the FPS junk. I tried RS and WOW and they both fell far short of the UO experience. So Here I started my gaming interest and when/if the UO plug gets pulled there will end my gaming experience.I'm one. My eldest daughter got me hooked back in '98... but she quit after the real world intervened and left me here.
Scary, ain't it? I'm 68 and been playing on and off since Dec 1998. The late Leandra (mod here and player) got me hooked on UO back then. My son played for a while way back but then went to RS, GW and FPS console junk.Wait we are all adults here??!!? ::begins reading random threads:: Are you sure there are no teenagers here??
He's talking about physical age not mental ageWait we are all adults here??!!? ::begins reading random threads:: Are you sure there are no teenagers here??
You are calling me a "he" ?He's talking about physical age not mental age
May depend on the shard, not many 20-29 on Siege but we are several 50+ who do try to PvP.If you look into the PVP players most will be in the 20-29 and 30-39, a few older foggies also killing about but not soo many anymore....
I havnt been done Siege in years, dont know the pop age but thanks for letting me know, might have to try it out again and see if my quick fingers can beat the older foggies.....May depend on the shard, not many 20-29 on Siege but we are several 50+ who do try to PvP.
Being mature do not have much to do with RL ageReally, you'd never guess it listening to the trash talk in general chat, would you?
It does now and I think it went into effect about the time Tram happened. Up to that point it was "M" for mature. I was there and I still have the T2A CD!all ill say is uo has the teen rating. lol
Yeah believe it or not I turned 30 this year. I registered on Stratics/started playing UO back when I was 13. I haven't mentally aged a day!Wait we are all adults here??!!? ::begins reading random threads:: Are you sure there are no teenagers here??
It wasn't deleted by a moderator.I guess Martell's post saying he's the only teenager posting on Stratics and he looks forward to outliving us old timers got deleted while I was trying to quote from it? If so, I guess that just confirms his belief we're hopeless.
Good to know, Captn. Maybe he had second thoughts about saying he would be glad to watch us die off - but isn't that the way teens have always felt about old folks It's all fineIt wasn't deleted by a moderator.
Sounds about right... but either way, I really am old.Just remember, you don't stop playing because you get old. You get old because you stop playing
Yeah you really are.Sounds about right... but either way, I really am old.
I started playing in 2001 at this time plus few years later still M for mature. My nephew at the time was around 9 years old, and had to watch is ps&qs, and had to acted very mature for his age. I think teen rating came in with AOS, or after.It does now and I think it went into effect about the time Tram happened. Up to that point it was "M" for mature. I was there and I still have the T2A CD!
Yes, 70 certainly qualifies as "old"... but it surely beats the alternative.Yeah you really are.
And that was around the same time UO was getting big in the European market and as they have different values then the US, EA was told to tone it down or get out of Europe.It changed to Teen at UO:R
I looked it up on the ESRB website.
It was Germany in particular, with the chopping up of corpses.And that was around the same time UO was getting big in the European market and as they have different values then the US, EA was told to tone it down or get out of Europe.
