DougGraves Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Was on a PuG yesterday. Everyone was nice and the team worked well together. Someone said CoH had the best community of any game. I commented that it was because we are old. Everyone started posting their age. I was tied for youngest at 51. The oldest was 71. Then we team wiped 3 times while chatting instead of fighting. 5 13 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Myshkin Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I mean... statistically speaking the average player age based on just when the game launched versus now is likely somewhere around 38-42. If the demographic the game was "intended" for was 16-24 back at launch of 2004, we're 19 years in making the lowest point of a returning player (excluding scenarios where parents/guardians allowed younger to participate) would be 35. We all know that there was a considerable swing in the age bracket back then though and the player age ranged even then into the 70's, so I'm truly not surprised. At the latest point in the game's history (2012), we have just crested into the eleventh year (so really just a decade since "THE EVENT"), if a player were to come back now and say "Oh, I remember play this back then..." If they onboarded in the same demographic range then, that'd put them in the 26-34 range now... 1 Pylon Test Run Submission Proc Monsters (Controller Edition) Proc Monsters (Defender Edition) Pylon Test Run Results Proc Monsters (Tanker Edition) "Mad King Special" "Ceterum autem censeo Iram esse delendam" Mad King Special - Force Edition (NEW!)

Must be something about verging on 50 (hitting that benchmark this year myself) that brings out our loquacious and verbose nature because I totally resemble this remark. 🤣 Of course economical word count was never my strong suit in the first place. 1 You see a mousetrap?
