You're not too young! The group of us in our 30s is just happy other people our age are playing!
Hubby laughs at me with how I always have to "check on" my little villagers...he went to use the computer this morning and read some of the main strategy guide. When I went over to bring up the games, he reminded me not to let the berry bush get depleted without having tech points to get better food for them! (hee hee) Still can't get him to try a game...workin' on it.
31 and lovin' it...

OMG did I ever open a cam of worms when I asked for this poll. LOL I just wanted to see if I was the only soon to be geezer who played this. The last time I was a member of a game forum I was the oldest person on it but at least 10 years... and I was 36 at the time!!!!

This poll is fascinating. It's also interesting to see the locations of various posters.
I'm in the 50s group. Or, as we like to say around the house, the group where going to the doctor for any ailment means immediately hearing "well, as we grow older..." Doesn't matter what the illness is, that's the first thing you hear.
When I was playing EQ in my late 40s, there were many nights where I was grouping with a stellar group, with a terrific warrior "puller" who looked fierce, pulled fast and furiously, and role played as if he had conquered many worlds. After a few hours -- usually around 9 pm in their time zone -- the warrior would tell the group "aw, man, my mom says I have to get to bed...8th grade bites..."
In five years of playing that game, I never got used to the collision of the online persona/graphic and the reality on the other side of the screen. I'm guessing the poll here is pretty much accurate of these kinds of games.
Oh, I said all that to say that no one of any age should feel out of place. Heck, if I was one of the villagers, I would be elderly! Or more likely, one of my two skellies because I didn't put enough tech points in Medicine yet. (sigh)
(And if you don't know what kind of game EQ is, I just made absolutely no sense. Won't be the last time...)

If you're having fun playing the game - go for it. It may help you learn patience....or not.

I had to vote in the 20s range, but I must say I will be 30 in May, so I'll be changing soon to the most populous group. *laughs*
