I highly doubt that you are the only 36 year old buying the game. I almost always meet someone that old or older playing MMOG's.

I'm 19, btw.

30 here.

I once read some article within the last year that said the average game player NOW is 27. I am not sure how truthful that is but everyone I know around my age plays some sort of video game every single day.

Also, I havent been this excited about a game in a LONG TIME.

not that im counting, but ill be 18 in 46 days (Thats Jan. 7th, my math might be a little off).

Right now im playing the "how many posts can i have in a single day" game. Currently, 36. probably will be 50 within the hr. Bad stuff happens when i dont have work and dont have WoW.

Got you beat by a long shot - 59 - yes! fifty-nine - but very young at heart - play with son and friends who are 25

41 here.

Did a bit of research, did you realize that 41% of all women over the age of 35 play online games? At least it was according to the research paper I saw.

Thought that was interesting, I would hazard that a much higher proportion of men 35+ play online games.

I read that somewhere too, and its rather accurate based on the "women" who I met in online games. Not sure how true they were...

I myself am 21. It's also great to see those 30 and up playing. Nothing makes a game more fun than playing with those of the mature audience.

You'll find a guild of adult WoW gamers at

http://www.theoldergamers.com

I believe our average age is late 30's and the oldest in the 50's (IIRC).
