ZekeStenzland Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 59 here. Totally okay with still playing mmos every night. Heck, still playing d&d with the college group after all these years! Although I may need to get some large-print dice in a few years… 3

ForeverLaxx Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 35 here. I'd say I'm surprised so many are 10, 15, 20+ years beyond me but that's not surprising at all considering it was the same even back when the game was still live.

Techwright Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 1 hour ago, ForeverLaxx said: Seems CoH just attracts the older crowd by default. Or a great many of the younger crowd are just overly finicky about graphics quality. Ironic as Minecraft dominated a good bit of this last decade. As a great many of us cut our gaming teeth on 4-bit, 8 color, something like COH is something to be grateful for.

Drakwatch Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 I started playing just after launch when I was 11, back in 2004. haha. My dad got the game for my birthday not realizing it was an MMO at the time. We've always played as a family until the servers shut down, and now we're playing together again. I'm 28 now. (I knew this was a game for old people, but I didn't realize HOW old everyone was. 😛 ) 2 "All thoughts of retreat are discarded as counterproductive, there is no other course of action but to press on.

TheOtherTed Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Mid-fifties. And I say that without irony - I stopped keeping track years ago. I have to do the math these days when I'm called up on to state my actual age. However, I do know that I was 40 (plus a handful of months) when I started playing CoH, mainly due to life-changing events that happened when I was 40 (plus a handful of months). 1 1

Ukase Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 I'll say this: I'm still not clear what a pokemon is. And I don't care enough to google it. (I also don't need anyone to tell me. I like not knowing.) I can't remember how old I was when I started playing...issue 3, sometime around Christmas was when I picked the game up at Circuit City, now out of business. I know I'm 54 now. It's strange. I know my father, at my age would have never spent so much as 30 minutes playing a computer game. He saw the computer as a tool. Turned his on with a key. An IMSAI-VDP80, damn thing was 4 feet long and almost 3 feet high, and maybe 3 feet wide. No mouse, just a keyboard and a floppy disk that was actually floppy. Back in those days, the most controversial thing was the sound of a toilet flushing on All in the Family. I even remember when Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham) was the star of the show, Happy Days, and had a big brother, Chuck, who disappeared early in season 2, and was even portrayed by more than one actor. 1 1

DoctorDitko Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Oy! 59 next month. When I think of all the time I've wasted on video games that weren't City of Heroes, I feel sad. Thank the gods it's back!
