I'm 60 and I play FF everyday. I started with Zelda 1 around 1990 and have never stopped playing games, especially role playing types. I've seen changes most younger people could not imagine. Did you know that if you lost power while playing Zelda you had to start at the BEGINNING of the game because you could only shut down after saving. You may have 2 months of play time.........gone! The old games had one story line, 1 way to get from beginning to end. I really enjoy this gane and it takes a lot of stress away from RL. I usually only play an hour or 2 at a time so I don't party often but I've solo'd beast 50, warrior 36, paladin 27, red mage 15 and Blue 12 and cook 78, fish 24. I have 4 mules and I enjoy every aspect of this game. I have no complaints because I know how they used to be and this game is the best. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-28-2006, 09:32 AM | #122 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 40 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 483 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 483 Donate | Re: What is the average age of FFXI players? I see old people!!!
Including me O.O
I am 41 and I play every chance I get. I have been that way with every game I have played over the years, so I don't see it changing any time soon.
I will admit to a late start in the video gaming world. I refused to accept any change of my puritan views, claiming that pinball was and always will be the reigning champ of arcade games. Finally, in '83 I broke down and tried my hand at Galaga. Although pinball still holds a special place in my heart, I have never looked back  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-28-2006, 09:46 AM | #123 (permalink) | | Altanaの戦士 Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Fenrir Server Posts: 2,556 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 119 Thanked 269x in 165 Posts Gil: 257 Bank: 38,900 Total Gil: 39,157 Donate | Re: What is the average age of FFXI players? | Originally Posted by Nyru | Although pinball still holds a special place in my heart, I have never looked back | It was Tetris for me  Sanctuary of Zi'tah!

I'm 18. I basically call everyone older than me an 'old fart', even when they're only a couple months older or so. It makes me wonder..... Am I an old, dry, and crusty fart or a young, wet, and possibly diarrhea-filled fart?  Kametame

First prime number since 13, so I'm happy. Plus, it has a 7 in it which is always a fun number (being a prime number as well).
Other than my age and weird number favoring eccentricities, I have little more to contribute.
Good day. The Knight of Faith resigns the dream, only to believe it.

We have a few people that are 44 in my sky shell.
I was also part of a shell that had a gentlemen in his late 50's or early 60's. He was very quiet. He liked to play 4 characters alternating between them. He enjoyed playing jobs across 4 different races. Sure it was extra work but it was different.
