    Speaking of age,  I was on Halls of Fate server yesterday, in EQII...I met a 75 yr old!!!  and a 68 yr old.  Yes some of us faithful old schoolers are still around..:)   Once things progress a bit more I may start talking about Pantheon to those folks.  ;)

    46, female technician from Berlin (Germany). I started with MMOs when EQ2 came up, and while the few weeks playing Horizons don't count really, I still remember the nice and friendly people there.

    There was already a really nice Poll on this subject. (I started the poll)

     

    Unfortuneately, there is no way to access it because of the website change. I hope Visionary Realms saved that information.

    45yrs old work in Oil & Gas in Colorado and can't wait to play with you folks. I listed many of the games I played back in the day. But like most (not all) I started my mmo with EQ1 in 1999.

    48 - I'm an Enterprise Data Architect in upstate New York.

    I have a home and a family (closing in on being an empty nester in a couple of years - which I am NOT looking forward to... because I love having my kids around).

    While I gamed before it - EQ was my first MMO.  The game hooked me on the genre.  REALLY looking forward to Pantheon!

    Admit to a double entity. Manouk is primarily  28, Female- looks just like an EQ Erudite without the high forehead. Manouk is secondarily a 51yr old male, looks like a EQ barbarian and is in love with my mom. He introduced me to EQ, thinking it might be fun and to share a point of reference. I got "hooked". It was his 'n moms solution to possible internet predator security measure then, and since then for all our on-line gaming it has become the defacto standard. His name is on eveything, he pays, we use. :)

    44 year old stay-at-home dad of two girls, 6 (almost 7) and 4, living outside of Houston, Texas. Both of 'em love to play games and watch (or sometimes control characters in) mmos. The oldest always wants to "make a girl" so I'll probably have a female character or two in Terminus. :)  

    I started with Asheron's Call and moved over to EQ sometime before Velious, played all the big ones since then including (but not limited to :) ) DAoC, EQ2, WoW, VG, GW2 and Archeage. Would love to make Pantheon a long term home. Maybe still playing it at 50? :)

    45 here with 6 years of constant  dealing with “twitch” gaming and the Pay To Win I would rather deal with this. . .

    Sketchy vendor: we all knew E commons, it was how you bought things, it was down to earth, and great. You had to trust …or call out the vendor.

    Meditating: Yes gems: was fun, but all of us got wtfpwnd by a sand giant while meditating.

    Envy: watching a skillful bard doing whatever he could do and outskillin you

    Faith: watching a cleric do a corpse run and paying for it.

    Captain Placeholder:..

    Kithikor runs at night

    Farming the Eyepatch of Plunder: it was fun however you got the problem with kill stealers.

    Question: did you ever drop loot on a mob out of your xp area? I remember when I started… my elf killed bees/or wasps in the starting area. Someone was nice enough to put a magical whip on it…hell I used it for about 20 levels.

    A  Chanter who could pull as well as a monk or bard.

    Falling down a hole and everything around you is + 10 levels and asking guild for help.

    Calling a gamer friend: at 3 AM yes its late however, if your epic weapon item spawns …WE NEED It. Thank you for click stick

    Actually falling asleep at keyboard, and not just saying it.

    I'm the same age as....one of the other posters above.  Not saying which one, though.  A lady never reveals her age.  :)

    For all of you that did not get to participate in the last Age Poll we had, or did not get to see it...  it was a quite remarkable graph/poll. Almost a perfect bell curve from 17 ~ 60+ years of Age, with the majority at 35'ish age.

     

    The poll was in 10 increments of 9 years, I believe. I will have to look at my notes. But I am sure they still have the data.
