I had a villager live to 101 in a game where I didn't try to do anything to increase their lifespan.

Wish I knew which villager it was!

A lot of us have very elderly ages on the stats page, I have one at 98 and another at 96! But one question I, and many others have is, did you actually see your elder working in the village prior to his death or was he a just a number on the stats page??

No the oldest I've seen working was in his mid 80's (87 I think). The supposedly really old villager died during a weekend when I'd left my laptop at my brothers house (he has a game in one of my slots).

Hi Trin, you may have noticed a few of us from RA were really interested in this whole "age" thing, gohill is still doing "trials" on this!! Keep it up, gohill!!

I don't know if you had you're laptop, whether or not, you would have seen your "very elderly" VV or not, but, it's just a question that some of us have raised.

I still think it's an incredibly rare event to have VV's in there 90's and over...and in all honesty, it's almost too painful to see them creeping around at 66 (youngish nowadays) never mind when they're in there 80's and older, haha!!!

I know it's silly, but I feel for them, trying to drag themselves around the place, taking forever to get from A to B!!

I posted my thoughts on this in the suggestions/improvements thread and also mentioned a few things on this thread (a couple of pages back) which could improve the way aging is handled. I'm certain Arthur and co. (are you listening, haha!!) will find some way to "help the aged" in VV2 and treat the elders with a little more kindness and respect.

By the way, been to Australia, beautiful, beautiful country to visit....

Yeah it gets very sad to see your formerly hale and hearty villagers doddering around...I wish there was someway I could retire them, heee!


When I was younger we went overseas for three months during which we lived in Europe. We had two weeks in which we were able to go and visit Ireland and the UK...well to my great GREAT disappointment we went to London first and all promptly got sick (from the shocking pollution I reckon) and couldn't make it to Ireland. I was really upset, it was probably our only chance to get there...well not to worry...I've got big plans to take my hubby and kids overseas one day and Ireland is first on the list (I really want to visit Dragonhill Underhold...what a thrill that would be)!

OOOOHHHH...I just became an adviser!! Woo hoo!

Unfortunately, my games crashed and burned so the research will take even MORE time. Ah vell... such is life. I'm too obsessive to just give up. I'm also CURIOUS... yeah, that's it, sounds better.

Personally, though I LOVE having a runner.. when that runner turns elderly, it's a shock. I can barely look at them anymore. I wish it wasn't so drastic, like they go from running to the normal walk instead of a crawl.

mine was 103 and my graveyard is full of seniors in threir late 90's but none live beyond mid 70's now that the puzzles have been solved. Maybe Viagra???

I agree. In one game I was going all out to get L3 farming, but when a runner I had turned 50 it was so painful to watch her moving slowly that I bought L2 medicine specially for her.

mine dided at 101
