I'm 14. I'm guessing a lot of younger gamers will be playing WoW, this is understandable because Warcraft games are incredibly popular among the younger players and with the older players for good reason. Anyway, I think it will be interesting to see the ages of people who play this game. When I get WoW, I'm hoping to join a guild filled with people around my age.

I'm 34. I started RPGs in their "pen and paper" form with the original D&D when I was 8. I look forward to WoW as from the little bit I got to play of it, it's more fun than any MMORPG to date. I also started a guild for like-minded players who are looking for a casual yet mature play environment.

I'm 15, though very mature for my age, so I've been told. I might be interested in joining your guild if I get the game, Kerik. I'll probably be going Alliance, is that ok?

I'm 32 years old. Been playing FFXI for about a year. Can't really stand the grind there anymore. That's what is attracting me to WoW....having three kids and all. I played it during the stress test and had alot of fun. I am hoping for open beta soon since they posted the end of closed beta here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com

I don't feel age is a good measure of maturity(or intelligence for that matter), that's judged on an individual basis.

24 here, and finishing my last year of college. I'd have been done two years ago if I hadn't dropped out with depression that later became a dependency on playing Everquest. I'm looking forward to a game that hopefully doesn't ensnare my life completely so my medication can do its thing. (Still wondering what "endgame" will bring exactly though.)

16 here, and proud of it. Started playing as a console gamer for the Genesis, and went through many more untill I got Warcraft III, which hooked me on the world of computers. Ever scince, I've played many games, including SWG, FFXI and such. Always liked RPGs, from my console roots to Neverwinter Nights. WoW will be definitly my next game. Hey Kerik, your clan seems interesting. I'll check it out, if you don't mind.

I'm 21 yrs old. Went to college for half a year when I was 19 but quit to get a job to support the family. Plan to go back to college for art next fall. Remember, folks, the real world is tough but I'm sure Azeroth will treat me better. ;)

Pretty nice distribution between the lower teens and mid-thirties. At least no one's posted something stupid like "OMG, you shouldn't be playing MMOs if you're over 20..." Ah well, I'm sure it'll come eventually.

And, 22 on the age thing.

25 here.

Been playing pen and paper AD&D since 2nd edition... 1992.
Have played FFXI for around 7 month and mostly disapointed about it... but I still like FFIV and the later...

I haven't decided yet if I'll leave DAoC for WoW.
Neihter if I'll go alliance or Horde.

28 here. Been playing RPG's for...like since before I could read. I enjoy MMO's but still prefer the old school pen and paper ones more. First pen and paper was D&D and just about every other one after that. One of my favorite being Shadowrun.

I am 31 years OLD. I am new to MMO's. I have been playing SWG since day one. I am looking for something new. Like I said I am new to the whole MMO thing and don't really know what to look for in a MMO. WoW sounds very fun and I am looking forward to when it comes out so that I can read some more oppinions on the game.

Began Rpging about 16 years ago with a game called Star Frontiers.

I have always been into war games though, and to this day DM a campaign in the Forgotten Realms that has been alive and well for at least 12 years.

I'm 40 and been playing FFXI for about a year now. I began playing the old pen and paper D&D back in the early 80's. Married, 2 kids, and a software engineer. Mostly get to play on the weekends. I pre-ordered 2 copies of WoW so my 15 year old son and I can play together. Look forward to seeing you in Azeroth.
