Re: What is the average age of FFXI players?
I'm 19, most of my online friends are 20-23. My HNMLS leader is 31. A Japanese guy in my linkshell is close to 28. We don't let in people who are under 17, lol.

I think that like in IRL, the "kiddies" and the adults in this game will band together. I've seen my share of immature groups of people. I hate when you get into the parties with them, and they actually say "boobies". A buddy of mine and I were in a Manaburn, the three other BLMs, and the BRD were a group of IRL friend, who were about 13-14 years old. They were trying to brag over how much of a ladies man they were. The conversation was like....

(BLM1) OMG dude, I so totally made out with <girlfriend's name> here last time, I'm 10x the pimp any of you guys are.
(BLM2) STFU dude, I got to grab <his girlfriend's> boobies (yes, he said boobies, I almost pissed myself laughing) last night.
(BRD) Pfft, yeah right.
<Rodin (in linkshell chat)> Hey Zid, watch this.
<Zidana> What're ya gonna do? lol
<Rodin> Just watch >: )
(Rodin) Hey, brb, I need to get my girlfriend's panties off of my ceiling fan before my parents walk in and see them. AFK 2 mins.
(BLM1) 0.0
(BLM2) O.o
(BLM3) WTF?
(BRD) ORZ


My advice, if you want to shut kids up under 16, find what they're talking about, and just totally own them in the conversation. Because for some reason, kids younger than 16 years old, are like machines. Get them stuck in a loop, and they'll go on forever, until something disrupts the behaviour. ;o
