    38 here. Been playing side 1.0 and prior to that ffxi since launch. I do sometime think when in parties now man I'm too old for this sh@!.. seeing all these younguns doing w/e the hell they're doing. But you know what I still enjoy it, my patience has thinned with time a little, but I still help out as much as I can I do get called gandpa or old man Bracken. In the FC sometimes, and I really don't mind it, I consider it a form of respect. I love the game and its people .... On a note had to think hard on how old I was before posting this XD.. old age for you

    Actually sometimes I wonder; "Am I 32 or 33...?"

    And same datacenter! Feel free to add me if we end up in a party any time.

    I'm one of the oldest in the FC I run. They've affectionately nicknamed me Mama Kiko. I'm only 33! *cries*

    Kids these days would have never survived in online games in the days where dial up was the standard. It required math to calculate timing and aiming to accommodate constantly changing latency. :P

    Turned 60 on my last birthday. Looks like I'm clearly not the oldest one in the room
    Use mouse/keyboard 95% the time. 5% I use a controller - controller has never really stuck with me. I've also become a fan of the computer gloves, like the IMAK one.

    Like others I play with irl family & friends but have made many friends in the game. IRL all the gamers I know less than 25 don't play FFXIV - in my experience this tends to be an older crowd anyway.
