abacus3 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 :roll: OK, I admit it, I'm 50+ years old & a female to boot. Am I the only old gal - or guy - playing this game? Is there any possibility of creating a few age specific servers? I've played 2 years now and haven't met anyone my age. Am I just an old sickie? I'd like to know if there are any older players out there. Abacus3 I'd rather wear out, than rust out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardmaster Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Well at least half to two-thirds of the Runescapers are probably teenagers or younger :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varda Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Most players are 11-16 years. But I've met someone who are 25++. And a friend of me know who is around 45++ So you aren't alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Noob Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Like said above. Most RuneScapers are 11-16 years old. Personally I'm 20, 21 in Feb., and I know a lot of older players (30-40+ Years old). A lot of the considered "famous" players are not kids, but older players. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacus3 Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 Thanks folks! I know most players are younger than my grandaughter. I do interact with some younger players, but mostly, I'm a lone wolf because there's not enough common ground - generations apart. However, your replys are supportive and make me feel less like an oddity. After all, it's just a game. :lol: Merry, merry, jingle, jingle, Abacus3 I'd rather wear out, than rust out.

zambontini Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 ya Most ppl are younger but I think that probably 2/3's of good players are older. Younger ppl dont have the patience i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak722 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Ive heard that Daverick (ranked 13th in the highscores) is a grandfather. I think he's 60 years old? IDK, I just read it off a post here in tip.it a long time ago... :? The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

llvllance Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 True, most are younger in this game. I am only turning 18 in Feb. and I still think that most people are imature and inconsiderate *shrugs*. I used to have a great friend who was in her latter 40s.. *laughs* I used to call her mom! Unfortunately, I haven't heard from her in quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryderj716 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Well at least half to two-thirds of the Runescapers are probably teenagers or younger :| Ah, you're wrong there, the average age of runescapers is 35. (Go pointless facts!) 1690 total and unranked strength. Headed for 1800.I like the irony (no wait, paradoxicality) in how there's a spelling error in this sig.

MadSpyder Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 The age seperation is the stupidest idea i've heard in quite a while. It's even worse than the automatic kitten patter... This game is for all ages and why discriminate people just because of their age? Besides, there IS a lot of older players out there. I knew a high level, Biffa (or something along those lines anyway) that was around 45 and female, and lived quite near me so don't see what the issue about age is.

No,its not a good idea what if wanted to meet a freind? or trade something and they are younger/older than you. Wow, incredibe. Idiots have even leaked out onto the forums. Sry, er.. mate, I don't know how many hours a day you play but I seriously doubt you total almost 3 million xp in 10 minutes. What you guys have seen is a classic example of discrimination based on combat level. Bravo, way to set an example. Although I must apologize, I didn't take into consideration the fact I would actually get a response like that. Always overestimating the crowd. But hey, I'm working on it. :wink: What I suggest is splitting up half of the worlds into three age groups. While leaving the other half as it is. Players won't be forced to go to either worlds, and Jagex will not keep a strict watch on who enters what world. If presented with a choice of weather to go into a "15 and under" world or a "20 and over", which world do you think would an older player go into? Now, s/he can go into either one, its up to them, but chances are they will go into the second one. It will be just more convenient for some players to be able to choose the more mature worlds to play in. And, of course, there will always be a few little kids running around in the older worlds and making idiotic "your momma jokes", but hey, I'm willing to take those chances. *edit* and I <3 cabbage. so green, and leafy, and good.

00 Quanta Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I'm 23 years old (about to turn 24 on January 12), i got mostly friends who are ranging from 13 to 30 years old. My friend Mistar is 34 i believe and Blueonix is around 30 years old. fed Mac is 25 or 26 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadSpyder Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 AMazeOfDeath: Immaturity has nothing to do with age. There are many mature young people and many immature older people and i can't see any other reason to have this divition between gamers besides the notion some people entertain that younger people are immature. Anyone who thinks that needs some serious growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
