ZekeStenzland Posted July 22, 2021 Share 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!

ForeverLaxx Posted July 22, 2021 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakwatch Posted July 22, 2021 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukase Posted July 23, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDitko Posted July 23, 2021 Share 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.
