It seems like 15-25ish is the average. I just got 27 last month, but started playing when I was 24 @1 month TNB.

I've been playing for tw... two... years!!!

I'm 41 as of yesterday. FFXI is helping me survive my mid-life crisis.

No old farts here, everybody's the same age in FFXI.

I'm 23, so I fit right into the profile.

Most of my onlinf and offline friends who play FFXI or Wow run between 28-40, So that dispels the games are for kids myth^^. Im guessing that things like this will help keep us young/young at heart forever....till we croak that is^^. \I myself am 32 My daughter will be 12 soon and I'll let her play when she's about 14 ish or so. She's pretty mature for her age.

Even though she can be a pain haha.

I started playing tabletop RPGs (D&D, Shadowrun, Vampire, etc.) when I was 13 or 14 with my dad and his friends. I'm pretty sure I was a pain too.

Kind of cool that you'll get to play FFXI with a family member.

That may be true, but certainly not the oldest in the game.

When I used to be in the Caitsith server, I was partying with a girl in Qufim Island.
After a while, the WAR disbanded, and the girl asked me, "Do you mind if my dad joins? He's also a WAR."

"Sure," I said.

Then I started thinking, so I proceded to ask her...

"Just curious, how old are you?"

She says, "I'm 29."

"Wait, you're 31? How old is your dad?"

"He's 62."

Whoah... heh...

Anywho, as for me, I just turned 27 early May.

I'm 20 and I've been playing video games since I was 6 years old or something. I never really understood what's so fascinating about the streets that attract a lot of teenagers in the evenings.
