Odditorium✭✭✭I'm 41 and this game is perfect for me. EverCrack was my fisrt MMO. I'm a big fan of Elder Scrolls already, but I tried to get back into MMOs like GW, WoW, SWTOR and they were like dating games and they made me feel really aged and out of place. Constant flirting and generally dumb behavior. This is the only M rated MMO that I know of. It is the game I have always wanted. I love the humor in it too. Great voice acting too. Same voice for Sheogorath as in Oblivion.PC/NAAldmeri DominionDandy Warhol -|- OdditoriumOscillation Overthruster -|- Molag TrumpKira the Gelfling -|- Varag Ghoul-ChewerBuffy the Purple Slayer -|- Hostile SeventeenOTGAyrenn's ArmyAD Only0 -

Dreadloch✭✭I'm 56 and I've been gaming since the first Atari home video game system hit stores.
Love the Elder Scrolls games, and I'm really enjoying ESO. And I also have the greatest wife, who for 27 years has been so ever cool about my gaming. There is something about gaming that keeps that original spark alive, that spark when I first discovered the joys of playing Pong with friends at the local pizza hangout, then finally being able to play it at home. When I think back to the excitement of having those early arcade video games become playable on your TV when I was a kid, and watching the gaming industry evolve over time since then, you feel like you've been part of that great journey, and the last thing I want to do is stop being part of it.
And although I may not get around quite as fast as I used to in RL, and have a few more aches and pains to contend with on a daily basis, my keyboard/mouse skills have never been better. I may be getting up there in years, but you would never know it when facing me in AvA or clearing out a dungeon.
Like many of us who are in our 50's and 60's, when it comes to gaming, we don't play like an old men or women. We've been playing since video and computer games were invented.
But enough about that. Time for my Metamucil...1 -
RavensHellSoul Shriven34 here. I thoroughly enjoyed reading each one of your posts. I remember playing my first game at about 8 years old and running around my small town with a bunch of other young adventurers, with a stick as my sword and a garbage can lid as a shield . After getting my first computer at about 12 I discovered Bulletin Board Systems and playing games such as LORD, Usurper, text based MUDS - as well as offline games like King's Quest and Ultima.
I think I enjoyed reading your posts so much because I know I'm just like the rest of you - I'll never stop playing, never stop imagining. I'll be there one day the same as all of you, playing games with my children and grandchildren - unless my rockstar lifestyle doesn't make short work of me first *laugh*. Forever young at heart and mind. Very happy to share this game experience with you folks. Much respect to my elders.Edited by RavensHell on April 13, 2014 5:54AM5 -

Aricle✭✭I feel like a hybrid 'misfit' as I am older and have never played an MMO before (excepting Myst Online: URU Live), although I have played many games, coop and single player. I love the Elder Scrolls. I tried playing a few online games briefly and quit after the vulgar names I got called for not knowing everything about MMOs and after seeing people stealing kills rather than playing together.
I'm happy not to fit in with rude people, yet am interested in exploring with likeminded folks!

Disagree with people who romanticizing gaming during the 80s.

digital_illusionSoul Shriven@Accident_Prone, you're definitely not alone, I'm 40 next year, been an MMO player since Meridian 59, which was more of a GMUD than MMO.
I've met some great players over the years, young and old alike. The smacktalk in ESO is not as bad as SWTOR, but my ignore list of regular users is growing as fast as the gold sellers, I am sad to say.

I see that you are on the EU server. I am on NA. I guess that explains why it couldn't find your account when I tried to send you a friend request.

Just turned 57 two days ago. Had a great night out at the Medieval Banquet at St Katherine's Dock in London. Plenty of ale, wine, jesters, acrobats, sword fights, oaths, banging on the table and the death of the king. And maids who come running with beer and wine when you shout "Wench!" at the top of your voice.
Anyway, I quickly scanned the posts above hoping I'd be the oldest on the list - until I spotted that pensioner Windshadow! - it's not fair, I never win at anything.
Anyway, best of luck to him. Can you craft a zimmer frame in ESO?
And to Enteum: No, 30 doesn't count!Edited by michaeljones161b16_ESO on April 13, 2014 12:29PM0
