Just Curious: Age demographic of ESO players

I can't remember what my first game was, but it was very likely something on the Atari 2600. I've also had an NES/SNES/N64/Gamecube/XBOX/PS1/PS2. I still have the N64/Cube/PS1/PS2, but I really regret losing my SNES.

As far as PCs, I was fairly poor growing up, so I didn't get a PC at home until pretty late. Most of those consoles I bought myself once I was able to get a job. My first PC was in 1997 I think. It was a Pentium 100Mhz with I think 16 or 32 MB of ram, and I believe a 1GB HDD running Win 95. I remember my dad saying "we'll never fill that hard drive" . My first MMO was Shadowbane (open PVP and fully lootable corpses). It was sometime around 2003. Then came EQ, WoW, Rift, LotRO , and several others that I tried but didn't stick with. Been with ESO since around 10/2014 off and on.

PC EU, Age 21

First games I've played: Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Megadrive II), Heroes II: of might and magic (PC), Spyro the Dragon (PS1) and Guardian Legend (NES).
Studying Information Technology at University, I've had some courses of Ludology and games. And yes, I think I'm a nerd, because computers and computing is something I enjoy.

Started out on an Acorn Electron (circa 1987. Yes, I know how old I was).

Finally got into reasonable machines with the intel 80486 based machines a couple of years later.
