You're HOW OLD?!

[Tynian]

Just a quick poll. I am curious about the ages of those that currently play TFC. Please answer honestly, or choose the do not wish to answer option. Consider this an improv demographics study.

Thanks a bunch!

[DarkClaw]

I'm in the 25-29 range. *blink* Oh wait...nobody
voted there yet. *wince* Damn. So much for lying
about my age. 41.

Maybe another question could be how old were you when you started?


For me it was 14! , though that was a full decade ago.

While I'm curious about that, the here and now is particularly interesting to me. :)

[Hiro]

Is 40 listed on there twice?

Nono, looks okay to me! ::whistle::

[Pursnip]

Figures...I just threw off the demographics by having turned 40 on August 11th LOL :)

[Rincewind]

28, but handsome like 40 and strong like 18, (ego has no age requirements)

And modest as well!

Started about 16 or 17. Now after several years...my game play has no noticeable improvement.

It takes a decade or more of hard work to properly suck at playing a bad character. ;-)

Hrm. Looks like we needed Tripper to log in and skew the poll a bit, then again, I don't know if we have any other players of note who were in the 55+ range...

[Xerit]

21, started playing at..12 I think.

[Otak]

im 18 now, i started when i was 10.. wasnt continuous though. probably only a total of 3-4 years out of the 8.

[hork]

26 now. started back in '98, 10 years ago. stopped in 2000, and started again last year on february as Hork.

Wow and here I thought I was gonna be the youngest starter...

[Solaron]

Started when I was 13, played almost continually until now. I'm 26.

[Elladan]

Started when I was 26 or so, stopped when I was ehm, I forget, whenever I retired. Or slightly before then anyway.
Haven't looked back ;) Just here for nostalgia. Fully roped in by WoW.

[Belsambar]

Nonono Ella, TFC! WOW sucks!!

At the very least, pick an MMORPG with better graphics ((Maybe WoW3 will meet my expectations of graphics...I highly doubt it, Blizzard is notoriously lax in that regard in my veiw...))

[eldric]

33. started playing in 94? 95? off and on over the years. I remember Zara beating me down (L18 cleric) when I was L28 Mage. Back when I worshipped tel.

Thanks a bunch to those of you that responded to the poll!

Forum responses constitute a small polling sample, but...

It's nice to test my assumptions from time to time. One assumption I made was that we didn't have very many younger players - those under 30, for the sake of argument. But, we have a fairly balanced range of ages. The message I choose to take away from that TFC appeals to a wide age demographic. Ha! Does this make me a glass half full dwarf?

Cool! We have younger and, hmm, more experienced players!

Thanks to those of you that responded to the poll.

[Ylang]

I was also surprised by the number of younger players. And strangely pleased by the relative lack of teenagers :)

[Furnock]

Hey all. Just stopped by to Lurk. I started playing TFC in my 20's. 25 I think. I just turned 40 this year. One of my kids played for a short time when he was about 14-15. He's 19 now.

[Arcanum]

my first chart was mid 97 I believe, and I'm 21 now :)
