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

38 here. You're only young once but you can choose to be immature the rest of your life!!!!

I bought the first edition tt game when I was 11 or 12. And I gotta love my parents for holding onto my battletech **** for 10 plus years. I went through the bin last night to see what I had. ~75 metal miniatures and another dozen plastic ones. A bunch of source books.

My 6yo son got home, saw the miniatures, and said he wished he could have some. Told him they were all his if he was willing to play the tt game with me. I got the best dad ever remark. We made it through one round before it was his bed time. Good day!

Trust me, better that than the up to 45 category.......

[Sholto MacLeod]

Let me put it this way: I played MW2. A lot.

[Trixie]

21.
I have no issue being counted among the young. Eat it, gramps and grannies!

Edit: To the complaint about RPing, as long as people pay their bills and feed their families, I don't see how it's your place to judge their maturity based on what they do in their free time.

Growing old is inevitable.
Growing up is optional.

32 here. Battletech is my favorite setting since 1995 =)

[Jack Colten]

40 so my "character" and I are about the same age now (in 3048). Which brings some interesting perspective.

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 am 20 and you just inspired me to get a set of zip up pajamas for playing Mechwarrior Online in.

I've been a pretty big fan of the video game franchise since Mechwarrior 2. I kinda' petered off after four because I'm the absolute worst person in the world at RTS and the spinoffs like Mechassault make me cry softly to myself at night because they're so bad.

Found my dad's old Technical Readouts from 3025-3058, Played MW2-4, Read The Warrior Trilogy, The Blood of Kerensky Trilogy, and The Twilight of The Clans series, and am now awaiting the release of MWO!! 14 years old now, but I'll be 15 in a few weeks.

That is a parent raising his child properly.

[Thoth]

Wow, I'm in the biggest category...old but not too old.

[Joseph Mallan]

LOL I am relieved to see that at 45 I am not the grand old man I am on one of my other forums... It's embarrassing to be my age and still play Pokemon!

[Bear Shaman]

25 years old. I've been playing MW4 for ages, and I'm glad to see this game finally get off the ground. It's got me wanting to play the backlog of games... I think I'll head over the Abandonia for the first game.

[Wolvers]

39, been playing Battletech since about '91. Started out playing 2nd Edition, which I've stuck with. Also played the old PC games, Mech 2 - Wolf and Falcon, Ghost Bear, Mercenaries, Mech 3, Mech 4

[Fulcrum]

In the 33 to 45 range here... ghods, I used to spend so much time on Saturdays rolling dice with a really good group. 4-8 people every weekend, Pre-Clan, IS mechs, in full company-on-company-on company action that could stretch for weeks.

I miss the good'ol days.

MechWarrior "ClickyTech" or MechWarrior the video games or MechWarrior the RPG? Some of our inner child has been reawaken, let us have our fun and play for a little while, before we need to get back to work supporting our own families. Or in my case, before I have to go back home from work and have dinner with my family. I'm 45 now and I RP Shadowrun every weekend with my daughter and her friends (age 20ish)!!! Never grow up Never surrender!
