Did you miss me?? I'm back with the internet finally. And I have some Food For Thought about Age.
So people always say age is just a number, and while there may be the occasional person who is advanced or matured well beyond their age, typically humans are at similar developmental stages at certain ages of their lives. As seen by a post by Misha I believe, we have quite a range of ages in this game.
One thing that makes this game so unique is the relaxed style of play. When I played World of Warcraft there was also quite a range of ages, but in that game age was no where near as important as skill. This game is based so heavily on a social aspect and so I wonder what your thoughts are about how varying ages impact the game.
The thing that made me start thinking about this is when I was sending out/leaving out invites for everyone to one of the EoT parties and noticed that several of the older players were ones who had a pretty negative response, and I thought maybe its because we are at different stages in our lives possibly. I still love to do the crazy partying while some people prefer a more calm version or have "been there done that". Or perhaps old people are just always crabby :)
Anyways, anyone notice any other instances where it seems like age impacted the game in some way?
