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. | wOW.. all I can say ... btut it s good to know that I am not the oldest player here..
wow 62 that is awesome !! | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-22-2006, 11:57 AM | #33 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: San Antonio, Texas Posts: 180 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 366 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 366 Donate | Re: What is the average age of FFXI players?

[e d i t] Oh yea, I also know a guy on my server who's over 50. He has 2 kids that play, one teenage and one in thier 20s. He doesn't really even bother 'playing'. He camps NMs and farms gil all day and gives large sums of gil to his kids so they can skip the more difficult aspects of the game. Lucky asses. With great power comes complete disregard for any and all responsibility.

Peer Pressure and the "need (want)" to fit in..
People take me as I am, i've never conformed to peer pressure or did things because I was goaded into it. If I dont wanna do it I dont.Period. Besides the Streets aint shiza.. Get some friends together have a video game session, or have a cookout, or shoot ball in the yard, go fishin, bikin, joggin, exporin nature..etc.. So many things to do that doesnt involve getting in trouble it's sick.
That is unless a bear tackles you while explorin nature... then it's pretty much a wrap for ya ^^    | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-22-2006, 12:42 PM | #40 (permalink) | | Necro defender Join Date: May 2006 Location: ND, USA Posts: 289 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 19 Thanked 22x in 19 Posts Gil: 1,314 Bank: 1,410 Total Gil: 2,725 Donate | 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  75WHM 75BLM 57BST 50RDM 42SMN 28BRD
