Hello everyone! I'm interested in hearing the perspectives from the younger folks who play this game. I began playing MMORPGs with FFXI, so I'm on the older side right now...ha. Irl, I'm a professor who studies and teaches about games as participatory culture, and I'm interested in learning from gamers currently in their teens.

To that end, if you are currently in your teens or began this game in your teens, would you mind sharing? How did you get into the game? Why have you stayed? What are your thoughts on the game community? How do you interact socially within the game? What are your current game goals and progress. What do you think older gamers like me should understand about you? Any discussion on these or other questions would be great! Thanks!
