poll: Age of players - Does age matter ?

40 to 50Age doesn't matter... I have met 12 year olds that are more mature than so called adults in online games.2 -

✭I’m 24 but age doesn’t matter imo I meet all kinds of awesome people in eso. And of course the occasional toxic players these types usually just make me laugh though 😂😂0 -
Aigym_Hlervu✭✭✭✭✭Regarding the age of ESO players I guess we all have to work on our communicational culture to make chat window messages more like these:
- Mr. Jenkins, good evening! I beg my pardon, could you set a camp to the east of Chalman Keep? I guess those aldmeri gentlemen might ambush us inside the main structure.
- Esteemed colleagues! Please, follow Mr. Brown the group leader!
I guess we also have to reach a global agreement to crown emperors, win campaigns by turns

Thessalia✭✭10 to 20This is really interesting! I never meet people at my own age (I’m 19) and I only meet older people! It seems that eso is not so popular with the younger audience!0

✭✭✭✭✭Does age matter with what?
If OP is asking about being a solid player then not really. I’ve seen very top raid groups have college aged to mature middle aged with grown children.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭30 to 40Mind you he will still hover over my shoulder anytime he wants me to look something up for him online.
It is largely generational still. What you're seeing is a minority group that have congregated with each other to have fun. In general, just because a majority of a group feels that way, it doesn't mean that there isn't dissent. It also doesn't mean that the minority group is necessarily small in number!1 -
vibeborn✭✭✭✭✭20 to 30To any older gamer out there, you are awesome, never give up on gaming!
I will turn 30 in a few months, and if my health allows it, I can still see myself playing in my 70s, especially with ESO (and other Elder Scrolls games since I am very new to the franchise)0 -

If your birthday is in 6 months or less, pick 70-80. If your birthday was more recent, pick 60-70.0 -

✭30 to 40Really interesting - and pretty cool actually - that there are so comparatively many 'older' people around. But honestly, no, I don't think age matters a whole lot. When I look into my guild chats I oftentimes see people who I know are in their mid-thirties like me make jokes that would work better coming out of the mouths of 14-year olds, but then there is also a 16-year old in one of my guilds who's very mature and we get along great. So, no, physical age matters little.This poor little Bosmer stealth passive had passionate friends and a big loving family!1 -
Langdon64✭✭✭✭50 to 60I will play games until I die. They will have to pry my MMO Mouse out of my stiff cold fingers before I quit.3

✭✭Pretty sure no one wants to run dungeons with a 5 year old that doesn't know how to use skills. No offense to the 5 year old.0 -

I'm 32 going on 33.
Age is kinda- eh most days? I feel like I wish I had my stuff straight like I do now, when I was younger.

✭✭30 to 40Not sure if I'm classed as just about gen x or the very early millennial. 1981. I like to think I'm gen x because the stereotypical millennial are cringe worthy.Edited by Neoealth on December 1, 2019 8:56AM0 -

✭✭60 to 70I’m old as dirt. First computer was a TRS-80 Model I (Z80 processor) with 4K Ram and 4K Microsoft Basic ROM. Also played around with an Altair a buddy had when I was in the military. Now my computer is a I9 9900K with 16GB and 1080ti graphics card. Lots of changes over the years in gaming, that’s for sure.0 -

✭✭✭40 to 50omg so MANY BOOMERS
And gen X. I am actually a unique subset of gen X apparently .
* I can operate every type of phone from rotary to smartphone.
* I can navigate DOS and have owned every version of windows except 8( because i avoided it like the plague).
* I can get magnetic tape out of the players, usually without to much damage. I can also rewind one using a pencil.
* The walkman in Guardians of the Galaxy... I owned one.
* I remember when Yahoo use to be a community hub for the internet instead of the news regurgitator it is now. It use to be really awesome.
* I know what a fax machine and the internet sound like when they are talking on the phone.
* I know what a fax machine is and how to use one!
* 56k internet was fast when i was a teenager.
* 4-8 weeks was your expected delivery time on orders and it was through snail mail. 24 hour delivery times was like flying cars.
* Search engines use to be dumb. It was all keywords and you had to enter terms a certain way.
* Some of my first computer games were on 5.25 inch floppies.
* A 40 inch tv was huge. It took 4 weightlifters and a furniture dolly to move it. I just carried one down stairs under 1 arm.
* My friend had one of the first cell phones, a car phone. It came in a briefcase you could pack enough in for a long weekend.
* Pagers and payphones. That was high tech.
* Myspace use to be an online storage site.
* I grew up in a time without social media. When you were forced to learn social interaction skills by actually interacting with people. I tend to stay away from social media mostly, its not good for you.
* I remember thinking netflix would go out of business because why would you order movies through the mail when you can just go to blockbuster?
* Malls use to be the go to gathering place... and parties but we wont talk about those.
* Paying bills was a hassle and could take an entire day. I dont even get bills now. People just take money out of my bank account when they need it. I write about 2 checks a year but can use paypal, cash app, venmo, etc.
* Texting on a flip phone sucked, but using landlines to talk to your friends really sucked.
* I owned an original Nintendo, Super Nintendo, N64, etc on down the line up to the Wii. PS2,3, and 4. Sega. I tried to go back but its not the same. Those video games are terrible now.
* My first MMO was text based in the late 90s. It was so simple. It is to ESO what "Tic Tac Toe" is to Dungeons and Dragons.
* My wife went on a business trip about a thousand miles away one time. She was using her smartphone to start our car, open our garage door, turn lights on and off and other nonsense. If you were in a house 20 years ago and that stuff was happening without you doing it, you would have called a priest.
* All of my christmas decorations are either on a smart plug, timer, or remote. i dont have to turn anything off manually. The only way not to turn something off manually 20 years ago was to let the batteries die.
A lot has changed in 20 years tech wise.0
