Just to see the age distribution visiting the new MWO forums.

Good Idea.

I wonder which Bracket will show us all the bulk of Battletech/MW supporters age and how long they have been around?


should be interesting.

Turned 28 a few months ago.

[CoffiNail]

26 years here... Good thing I have a Bloodname, getting up there in my age

[Brixx]

21 years old. I hope there are a few more to come. And it sucks that I am in the list ranging from 15 to 21.

Cut my teeth on MW2: Mercs as a wee lad. Devoured most of the BTek book series after that- the rest is history.

Bleh. 43. Don't get older, boys. Not worth it.

[Barantor]

32, I'm trying in vain to not get old Erhardt...

[Brixx]

But this is giving me some hopes for the community and in a far sight for the gameplay. As it seems most members here already have gone past puberty. So maybe we can play along in peace without flame wars and swear words.

That would be a most welcome change of pace.

I'm 21, being the high end of the 15-21 range... Played MW4 Vengence, Black Knight, and Mercs when they came out in '01-'02...

Aren't you a bit old to be so naive, brixx?

;p

I am in the range of 15-21! I am allowed to be naive officially for now! Well... theres always hopes. But honestly... theres not as much flame and nonsense as I would have expected. For now. Even the "flamers" do give proper arguments and care about grammar, spelling etc...

Same here. After getting hooked on the games, I tried to get into the WizKids Mechwarrior board game way back when with a friend of mine, but never got to actually play it with anybody.

I'm quite happy to see that I'm on the "young" side of the community; hopefully this means we'll have a much more mature group of gamers!

I just entered my second fifth of a century of bringing terror to Earth no a month ago.
Or rather, finished my first fifth, I guess. Or I wonder if that won't count until I reach 21...

[Xaks]

I'll be 37 this fall. Been playing tabletop BT since very nearly the beginning (roughly 1986/87ish). Including all video game versions, of course!

We can hope. But I think the whole 'F2P' aspect will attract the younger audiences as this grows

PS I'm 23

The question is... will they stay? I mean... First Person View Focus etc... I think and hope this game is still designed for a more mature audience despite its pay model.

I can field an Army sized element >.> multiple RCT's and Mech Regiments, as well as a couple dropships.... did I mention I have all of the printed books and most of the fiction before Darkages? Is there a Mechwarriors Annon?
