The distribution seems to follow a nearly flawless standard distribution right around 30 or so. It's good to see what at least appears to be a reasonably mature community here. At *only* 24, I actually may be a hair on the young side

Yeah a couple decades. I had the original Battletech (not battlebots) boxset and every sourcebook / mechwarrior rpg too, and fictional novels up until the time I got tired of KATHERINE Steiner not getting her comeupence.

Looks like at 60 I'm one of the oldest - started on TT and every PC game, gave up on Mech Assault. Still occaisionally play MW3 or 4 on line or go through the SP campaigns again. Just hoping that this is a success and can progress from MW to full BT over time.
Poooooooo

I'm 21 and have been playing since 1996. In 2009 I switched form Dial Up to DSL which allowed me to actively participate with the community. Found out they are a bunch of dirty old men, go figure.

I am a 33 year old parent, husband and long time MW fan, however I have never been one to get into the RP on any game and find it a little creepy when grown adults start RP'ing like I am already seeing. I look at MW as my all time favorite game, but that is it, an amazing game.
I just imagine some of you in your adult Zip-Up Pajamas looking in the mirror before you go to bed and saying, "Greetings, Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Kodan Armada." ???

I understand your fan hood, but I feel the need for Triumph the insult dog for some of your!

I pretty much always wear pajamas when I roleplay. Though this zip-up PJs idea ... hmm ... I think I saw some adult sock monkey onesies at Target. O M G that would be so cozy. O_O

Oh - also - 25.
