Games are for all ages. My dad really enjoys playing Colin Mcrae ,Flight Simulator, Combat Flight Simulator with me. Always fun to shoot down your dad in a game.

Back when i was in olympus i met a really nice girl. She was 26 years old, and i thought wtf?
then she told me her mother and father also played.. all in the same guild. Her mother was 54 and her father was 56

(dunno if they still play, if so, add about 1½ year to their age

)

Back when i played America's Army i had an 69 year old man in my clan, named Henk xD .. was a really nice guy... i miss him

I knew a guy who was like 67, don't think that's too old?

I knew another guy who was 48, he was cool though.

I dunno, I really don't think there's an age limit, but I think once you hit 18/21 or so, then you should stop playing computer games.

Lol I started to play at 26 and now im 27 years old.
Im a union master and most of the people in game love me

Dont know whats that age problem some of you guys have but im tired of this topic. Let people play if they want to.

Didn't read whole thing, but IMO, I there is not age limit for video games. If you enjoy it, play it. I'm in my 20s, and plan to keep playing video games. Same with my sexy wife;). My father and in-law are in their late 50's and love to play C&C series.

troy has a 63 year old (i believe) who acts like a 12 year old xD its so funny ^^

besides, imo there is not really a limit, if you can play, and feel like it once in a while, why not ?

I don't know if that's true or not, but I can beat that. I have a wife and two daughters. One is 2 years old, and the other is 5 months old. I also have a dog and a cat and a full time job. Not a lot of time for SRO, but I squeeze a little in here and there.

they think a certain age is too old to be playing games, will
end up playing games at that age themselves. this is the game
generation. when i'm a grandpa, i'll be having lan parties
with my 80 year old friends all over the world lol.

Dude, so sorry to hear about your grandfather
i miss mine so much too

as far as the main subject here, i am 50
you can never be too old to play games, it keeps your mind and soul young
SRO is not difficult to play, just to master

No Age limit BUT that doesnt mean a husband should sit all day and do nothing except play sro.

I think from 1-19 you can play all you want then you should NOT play while ur in college, then u can resume playing after u have a good job, a family and play only in ur free time

Once a gamer, always a gamer. We all play online games to enjoy ourselves, so no age is too old. It's great to think that a 60-something can interact and play games with a 15 year old. It is the games that binds us, lolz.

Just another note... average game player's age (in general, not just SRO) is around 35.

As long as you're enjoying yourself, your age doesn't matter.

Thank god there was no such thing as MMO's when I was in college. Not like I studied all the time, but at least what I was doing wasn't addictive. Well, I mean, not addictive in the take-up-all-your-time sense. You know, I'll just shut up now... :roll:

My coworker's daughter said that about me. Actually she said I'm "such a geek" when she went home that night. Her mom thanked her on my behalf. :-D

Geek is the new sexy I say.

Hm, you're never too old, I'm 44. I probably just won't play the "this requires way too much time to be fun" type of games when I hit 65 (retirement age in the States).

Both my daughters played video games, though not as much as me. On the plus side, it gives you a window into their boyfriends...for example, spawn campers or CS botters would quickly get my disapproval.

The nice thing is both my kids have moved away so I have a little more free time. I still tend to spend my weekends boating, fishing, camping, doing family things in the summertime. Winter will probably mean more time for SRO but I'm still not playing 5-6 hours per day.

However, I have been accused (and proudly so) of being a nerd/geek. OTOH, that means I make very good money in the computer field.

lol - I think these posts are so fun! Your never to old to game.

Ppl in there 30-40's where the first gamers! Why do we all the sudden have to "grow up" and stop playing games just because we got a little older? I love all games. I still play board games and sports too. How old before you have to stop playing those? I think one of the worst thing that could ever happen to me would be to "mature" so much I could not enjoy kicking some ass in a video game.

Look at it this way. When your very young or very old, you have lots of time and a set amount of money (allowance or retirement income). When your middle age, you have lots of money and a set amount of time. MMO's work well either way. Either you spend less time and buy lots of "helpers" (tickets, ect) or you less money and grind like crazy. Either way you can enjoy a MMO.

I play with my son and nephew and we all have a blast. I kick both there asses in any game we play. :twisted:
