How old is too old?

[TsjuniMon]

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.

[Grimm-.-]

There is no age limit to playing a game...

[Furious]

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

[Braka]

i know a man and wife 60+ who used to play alot, now they just bot and when i as her why she says because game is not fun anymore, they dont pvp or jobwar they just like grinding but now they bot so i have no idea why they play the game lol ohwell cart zitta i still luv ya

[Inuyasha584]

[The_LEAF]

there's no age limit

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.

[Entangle]

When my granfather comes over, he loved looking and touching my laptop, he still had it.
But he passed away yesterday :/

[Bg_DrEaM]

I have players in my guild 35-45 years old, some are families, some are fathers and sons...mother and a son also...i don't have older people than that, but i don't mind if i had

[BlackFox898]

if i'm not mistaken i'm pretty sure that nightbloom(member on SRF duh) has a kid so thats old enough right there. sorry if i'm wrong n.b. just thought i heard it from some one .

[Lum_Lum]

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.

[Swindler]

I know a guy that's 60 and his wife plays and his children.

born to play sro lol

[LillDev!l]

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 ?

[PR0METHEUS]

if i'm not mistaken i'm pretty sure that nightbloom(member on SRF duh) has a kid so thats old enough right there. sorry if i'm wrong n.b. just thought i heard it from some one .

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.

[cin]

Oldest I met 47

too old to be playing would be 17+
unless ur life Career has to do with computers.

lol are you for real?
what's this 20-ish is too old to be playing games shit?
older people, with jobs, also have to do something in their
spare time lol. i bet that all the people telling everyone
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.

/hides from GD.

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

[nightbloom]

f i'm not mistaken i'm pretty sure that nightbloom(member on SRF duh) has a kid so thats old enough right there. sorry if i'm wrong n.b. just thought i heard it from some one .

LOL My daughter is older than some of you here on the forum. She's 15.

[TOloseGT]

and does nightbloom jr play sro?

[nightbloom]

Nope, she says we're all nerds. LOL

[Verfo]

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

[justaskphil]

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.

[non ego man]

...you should NOT play while ur in college...

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...

[PR0METHEUS]

Nope, she says we're all nerds. LOL

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.

Geek is the new sexy I say.

[pr0klobster]

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.

[Amarisa]

this topic makes me laugh it was the older people who invented the games lol so why cant older people play. i plan to play games when/if i have kids and who ever i marry (probaly will be a gamer :p).

[Inuyasha584]

id rather play mmo's when im 80 than sit on a recliner watching movies all day and sleep
