Older gamers

[Alael]

I have no idea if I'm considered 'old' in FFXIV, being 32 (but hey I grew up with FF games, at least played all of the main games except 13). But I often find myself somewhat lonely on this game; I was wondering if there are other older folks who would want to add me as a friend? Just for chatting or random duties etc. I feel pretty pathetic that I hardly have any friends on the game. XD But yeah... only adults please!

I'm on at random times, and main astro... trying to level everything else though right now. Character is who I'm posting as.

Also looking for a mature laid back FC too; but obviously need to be on the right server, I'm not planning on changing any time soon.

Hmm i think it has to do with how you interact with others and with who because i never had this issue once.

When playing ffxi there was some punk kid 14 or 15 that laughed at my wife and I for gaming in our late 20's said we where losers. I'm guessing he went on to get 3 or 4 PhDs wait nope he is likely living at home realizing being an adult isn't easy as kids think it is. Sure the amount of time gaming I could have gotten a better education but we're happy. Having a 200k house and 3 rental property we are doing ok.

Guess I'm at the far end of the age bell curve.

My first console was an Atari 2600 - I have one that still works.
First computer game was Colossal Cave on a PDP-10.
Started gaming playing Avalon Hill blitzkrieg.
Been gaming ever since. Hah.

Back in my day, if you wanted to play a video game in the dark, you had to sit under a light source to see it.

And if you wanted to "pvp" you had to connect them together with a cable.

And if one of them didn't turn on, you had to take the game out and blow in it and in the console and then try again!

Oh, and they weren't rechargeable either. You had to constantly replace *four double A batteries* inside the thing.

Thinking about people who were used to say adults don't play games... Well... An expression says the difference between adults and children is the size (and the price) of their games.

And after all, the ones who define official rules or official games and often create them... aren't they the adults?

34 here, played through every single Final Fantasy.
Can't say I feel lonely, have an amazing FC of adults.
Except they don't always behave like adults.

I feel attacked.

I was expecting you to be older from the title haha. I am almost 29. Feel free to friend me if we see each other in duty etc. I'm kinda in the same boat, my FC is lovely but most chat in discord and I am not always able to do so.

I’m 35 myself

By the sounds of it, seems like we should make a linkshell or something for the more mature gamers to hangout in, do duties etc
