any older players out there?

[Kennar]

I turned 40 last month. My knees hurt, my hair is thinning, I'm getting wrinkles (use sunscreen!), and I have no idea what the kids at the Limsa aetheryte are talking about. Seriously, youthful slang is changing faster than I can keep up with.

It's all good, though. My FC mates are around my age. We share stories about the good ol' days, yell at clouds, all that fun stuff.

There fair number of people in my FC are 35+ with a few retired folks.

35 here. Pretty sure a lot of the people I know that play are 30-40.

You have to figure, the first major arcade games came out back in 1980. For a long time the notion has been that older people don't play games or even know what them Marios are, but at this point it's perfectly within reason to expect people in their early 50s to have come up on the early games and have been playing them for 40 years. In short, yeah, there's a metric assload of them around even if they aren't saying anything to identify themselves.

Talking 'bout my generation... My dad, who was born in '49 played video games until the day he died and would still be playing if he were alive today.

pretty sure most male pattern baldness look like that.
The stonehenge of hair.
I just gave up and shave it all. xD

Good decision xD

Just turned 56!

[Hreland]

I'm 47, so I just might beat out everyone posting.

Late 60's here. Been playing computer games since the 1970's ( I worked on mainframes back then), D&D and dial_up MUDs since 1982 or so, MMORPGS since 1997. I build my own PC's. Wrote telecom software for the 6502 microprocessor.

I can't help but laugh when folks are calling 30 somethings 'old'!
