I have seen and heard both but mostly I would say you are able to find and play with people of similar age and attitude. I have had some good success in the LF Squad chat, i encourage you to find people there.

As for a direct answer to your question, I would guess >50% over the age of 25.

EDIT. How about, younger being under 25. If you are just a little older, no worries. I hear the grey hairs don't kick in for a while

I'd say the younger ones have the numbers, us old git's have limited time due to the missus moaning and kids wanting the ps3 for themselves.

I'm 44 yes that old, so i got a reason for being a crappy player.

I think the demographics are going to change dramatically once we're past release.
Right now, to be part of the beta you need to:
A) have been here since the early stages of the beta.
B) got in via the PSN Home trial-of-terror.
C) be a paying customer of the Eve or Mercenary Pack kind.

All of these select for non-childish players (and look how immature these boards are anyways). After release the F2P-model will in turn select for a less mature community.

lol, first in at 60 and a long time EVE player

Seventeen.

Good lord. I feel so out of place now.

A few years less then 15.

And no, I'm not obnoxious.

But its great to be getting all these responses. Well, i think i am the lowest stakes player here at a solid 15.5 years of age. But i can keep up with you old timers, no problemo.

But yeah, it is nice to know that everyone here is actually a touch more mature than CoD 10 years olds whose voices are so high than i honestly have no clue what they are saying, only that they are screaming their heads off

Anyways, AGE GROUPS UNITE, AND FIGHT FOR THE GALAXY!



And to the person talking about a kiddie corp...well....i dunno if thats a great idea....

That's me and as I said it ain't likely to happen, but she's not your average 13 yr old. A parents sole task is to provide guidance and attempt to mold a better person than they are. To that end do you think I'ld rather have a CoD kid or a Dust kid? If it happens would they ever end up in null, getting fat Eve contracts...not bloody likely.

But let's say Dust has 1/2 the lifetime that Eve has, if you don't think think that a pack of 18yr olds with just as much experience in Dust as you would be a force to be reckoned with maybe you're too short sighted for this game. I hope you have someone at home that encourages and supports you instead of saying "I dunno if that's a great idea". Don't make assumption on my household or the kind of friends my daughter has cause none of them list their age with a .5.

35 and getting older by the day..

No offense intended. Simply stating a belief that i had.
pardon
(And the .5 thing was a joke, as i believed it would be viewed as such since little kids do it all the time)

And for that we all thank you. Props to you, young one, for sticking with this game. Not many kids i know would want to play it.

Np and no offense taken, just opinioning back at ya. The only kids that should be legally allowed to include a .5 in their age are those that lost 1/2 a finger in some kind of horrific machinery accident...in that case I'ld let it slide.

I am 45 and have played Eve for several years..... When my son moved out my wife went the next and bought me my own PS3 so i wouldn't cry.....lol.... Once i had the oppertunity to play dust I really enjoy it. I am not the best player by far..... but I like that i can play 1 match as av, logi or assualt depending on what is needed...... I have about 14mil sp wich is prolly half what the younger players have but i try and i have fun doing it.

It's several million more than i have but to be fair, i like that SP is not indicative of skill and that SP only has a marginal impact on the game so people can't just roll over people by just having high SP.

I would be afraid of having my 13 year old daughter playing an internet game with the amount of bad examples on so many subjects out there... but then again, that's me.

Good luck with everything mate.

Celebrated the 2nd anniversary of my 13 birthday few months ago lol....Think ppl

Wow...same age as my favorite tshirt

Wow...same age as my favorite tshirt

I'm 16. And i'm proud to be my age. Fear me Lol.

30 over here. Actually, I got off work early today at 2 so I turned Dust on when I got home. I noticed teamwork was for shite until like 6:30 pm, I'm assuming it was because it was mostly school-aged kids and the demographics suddenly changed when the older folks got home from work.

I'm 16. And i'm proud to be my age. Fear me Lol.

You realize all you guys under 18 have broken the agreement you signed with CCP where they said you have to be over 18 to take part in the beta?

19 here.....been a long time pc player and primarily counterstrike 1.6, dota 1,, and been a decent CC RA2 player...

still playin fps to this day but only on my ps3 nowadays and mostly playing games on my ps3 ....and the only pc game i'm playing now is DOTA2 :D

been loving this game ever since i got in the beta...a lot of problems but fun nonetheless





P.S...i hate dudes who camp and snipe on top of a building -_-

Can't be...this is PEGI 18 game.

I'm 39, but never played EVE.

Bump to help you, also almost 13. Probably youngest player on here so far. I am mature however, so don't get me wrong.

17 Years of age here. Keeping up with the Heavy class Burst Heavy Machine gun and have been playing MMOs, FPS games, and a few mech games here and there since the age of 10.

Been playing FPS since BF2MC and from there on out, I've primarily been a guy of FPS but also liked the Armored Core series as well with all the numbers in there so its easy to cope with this game.

Coming from the 'Nes pixel-era" therefor I should be around the average age around here, 32 years young.

I was hoping to see a 84 or something pop up. I am 35, I remember pretty much the whole cycle of video games.

I don't mind snipers but I saw a dude once who was sniping with a tank on top of a tower. I think he took a dropship to the roof then called down the tank there. By the end he was 29-0. I put his name on my Watch list so I can murder him repeatedly next time I see him.

24.



Huh, I never thought of doing that. Genius.
