I have been playing RPG games for as long as i can remember, just recently got into the MMO stuff and wanted to know what the general age range is for this game. i have met people in there teens up to their 60s. i am in my 20s, so if you are so inclined to divulge that information i would love to know. no need for exact numbers just post it as you would post your LVL so i am 2x (i like to stay in my 20s...makes me feel young)
PS. If you want to tell your field of work that would be a fun statistic too. I am in the entertainment industry.
Thank you to anyone who replies.

job = marketing, design and comunications. .. doesnt really define what i do, right now im redesigning and programing a website, and a shopping cart, developing the database for a CRM system based on ten years of written contacts. making all the printed marketing materials such as brouchures, POP/POS materials, T-shirts etc... and writing the copy for most of the PR as well as the marketing report and business plan(i tend to be a bit more careful with my gramer and spelling then on forums). then if i have time i do B2B sales. and dream up ways of explaing the return on investment for my ideas on how to better comunicate and sell or attract investors.
then i do the same kind of stuff freelance.

And fyi the pay isnt LOW its jus tnot desirable. 45k a year for starters. Its known as the "noble" profession because most teachers dont do it for the pay, they do it cus they either like to teach, like kids, or like the job.
Personally Im going into teachign Math, middle or high school (prefer 7th grade + pre-ap kids), but Im going to get a degree in computers as well and whatever degree I will need to coach a sport there. I knew a teacher in my hihg school who was a computer teacher as well as a coach, and she had a very fun time at it. Were good friends now. I want to kinda be like that.
Anyway, its not low pay, nono, especially when you compare it to. oh i dont know.. minimum wage at McDonalds

Depends on area you apply to teach in and how the industry is doing because I've had several professors tell me that the starting salary was 30k-35k, with the exception that your salary increases slowly year by year, I know of one who taught for 10+ years whose salary is around 60k.

My kids don't live with me, and I have found out that their avaliable computers don't support the ram for the game. :( I was hoping for this to be a way for us to have some fun while being apart, but I have found other ways. I do still enjoy my time on Fiesta, as does my boyfriend (he's 24 close to 25).
Who says the older can't have fun too? lol

Im talking minimum wage through the US OF A, not a certain state or area. 12$ an hou ris not minimum wage.
I believe.. I think they UPPED min wage, but I htink now its like 5.85$ an hour. Thats what I got working as a lab assistant ~.~ It was better than nothing though since I have no bills n stuff. Got me about 100-200$ a week, plus nice little gift bonuses.

What makes this so funny is my dice are in a purple and gold crown royale bag too LOL
Anway, enough talking about this and back to the age topic... although talking about the dice is fine, the "other" game, on the other hand....
i think everyone has or had cr dice bag and back on topic three of my kids play and their ages are 13, 10, 9 and all play while i supervise

just out of curiosity, do you notice any difference in the perception of the game between children? What really got me on this kick about age was the way that i play and in a discussion with some friends we came up with the theory that age is a factor in game play. I threw in the occupation question as an extra variable.
I am very happy to see how diverse the community is.

realy they just like to kill mobs and because dad liks rpgs then they want to be like dad, and i try to teach them basic statagy tactics, this could be something they will use when they are adults, like dealing with certain situations a little stategy never hurt anyone

I think it's really kinda cool how diverse the ages can be in this game. Makes it more interesting and likely you will find someone around your own age. Just as long as people aren't TOO young, I believe I saw once the recommended age is 13 and up. Can anyone confirm that?
Nope...Not meh..Bwhahahahha :3 it dnt matter anywayz O__o

I'd imagine mid teens to mid 20s. I'm 19. Of course I've seen 10 year olds and 50 year olds in-game.
