Older/Adult Gamers FC?

Hi All -

I am 41. I've been around the game for awhile, but I am wondering of there are any FCs that are mostly 30-40+? Maybe with an added bonus of having grad students? I am ok with world-switching (now on Famfrit). Any leads are appreciated!

Some people I used to be in a FC with left to join The Old Timers Guild.

I don't know much about it other than the name, though.

You might have better luck with this one on the Shadowbringers FB page or somewhere similar? Folks looking for particular types of FCs or such tend to get a lot more responses in those places I've noticed.

Mine is almost all older people 30+ but we are on Jenova. I heard of the OTG before- was a member on an old game. If it is the group I am thinking of, it is nice to know they are in FFXIV now.

When you find your boomer FC, let me know where your FC house plot is located at so I can anger you guys by walking on your lawn.

Kids these days. 41 is an Exxer, not a Boomer. ;)

Yep. No one cares about us. We're not young enough to be proper Millennials, and not old enough to be Boomers.

Any gen Z’s here? :P

But we are the Elder Nerds and the First Gamerz ;)

We were the players of Pong; of the original Oregon Trail; of Zork; of Coleco Football; of arcade Pac-man. Fear our subtle hard-earned wisdom and declining reflexes!

Not declining reflexes, modern faster connections are messing up our brains which are used to lag-compensating.

I'm adopting that story and I'm sticking to it! XD

I gotta give props for some of the advances though... I just got my very first 'gamer' chair (at lvl 40... I'm so slow sometimes) and this thing is the nicest desk chair I've ever had! This thing has actual back support and I'm old enough to appreciate the hell out of that lol! Didn't have that back when I was 16 and 20 that's for sure...

There's a few of us over on Hyperion in our late-30s/mid-40s, if you'd like to hop over and say hi?

I call us "The First men" or women ;p We literally lived through the evolution of gaming.

I also live by the motto, "Gen X is gen best"

Millennials are in their 30s now. By the same standards that we are old, they are also not young. ;)

I know people in their 40s who are more youthful and energetic than people half their age. Our number of summers on this rock is a very poor indicator of how much someone has aged.

37 years old here. :3
I am at Coeurl server right now. After some adventures in marlboro, Jenova and Behemoth. In each one I've found FCs accepting old dudes like us without problems. You only have to forget the young minded ones who runs around in underwares jumping and emoting for no reason or baby crying for some selfish necessities. :P

Besides, it's nice to mix with them sometimes. A lot of laughs and jokes...

But if you find one formed only by older fellas, please respond us here which one you entered. It would be nice to know.

Well, now I really feel old... and alone. Almost 56.
(my first game was Pong, at launch)

You can't post anything on a lot of discussion sites that consists of less than ten characters (letters), so it's fairly common for people to add a variant of the phrase '10 chars' to flesh out a post that otherwise wouldn't make the cut.

Ah! Thank you! <3

I am quite old I tend to level up for my birthdays now. I think Yoshi started out as my age and then suddenly he lost a year or two haha.

I find comfort when I watch Stranger things that me and Eleven are the same age lol

As for a FC I am in a nice one with a wide range of ages and some people I have met are older than me. I know somebody who was in their 70s who used to play.

Which generation uses this?

Fear not. 58 and retiring on January 31. What out Eorzea, I'm about to have nothing but time to find creative ways to kill not only my static but DF as well.

I wish there were some fellowships that targeted the 40+ crowd.

My FC is only a handful of people 28+, but we hang out in groups of friends ranging from 19-38. Don't have to join the FC, but you're welcome to get in touch.
