Post by: Vengeance on January 11, 2002, 12:52:00 pm: This is Venge. I\'m 32. I\'m the old guy. :-)

Being old does suck, as I\'m sure you\'re all thinking now, but guess what? I can get \"it\" whenever I want it. ;-)

- Vengeance
Title:
Post by: Kada-El on January 11, 2002, 02:01:12 pm: Hehehe, being old doesn\'t suck that much. C\'mon, you can more or less buy whatever you want and do whatever you want (within reason - and as long as you\'re single!). When PS comes out you will be able to play it for a week without sleep if that\'s what you wanted - no one will be telling you to go to bed (except maybe your boss! ;))

Besides 32 isn\'t old at all!!!!!! :P
Title:
Post by: Darkmoon on January 11, 2002, 02:35:20 pm: So, me and Venge are the old ones, eh? Not bad company....

...and the \"single life\" is long gone for me...

Besides, it\'s us \"old ones\" who will bring complexity and color to this game....

.....we who have rpg\'d since our wee teens.... :)

Title:
Post by: Kiern on March 31, 2003, 11:26:10 pm: it\'s almost impossible to read that, so i\'m guessing this is the answer:

That\'s how the board was set up, venge didn\'t delete it..and it should stay that way.

Well, the risk that someone would attack sweden is pretty minimal isn\'t it ;)

Post by: rainmaker on April 01, 2003, 05:41:25 pm: You\'re right freedom is overrated.

Not to kill your exectations but the boredom will eat you alive unless your only expectation in life is to get up at 6am, do mundane grunt work the entire day, and then settle for a leasierly evening of absolutely nothing exciting to do at the barracks. If so by all means become a constable, your ensured work for 15 years or so!

Well that\'s my opinion =P. (I did 10 months in the danish army last year)

N?r men held og lykke, hvad ved jeg det kan v?re du er en af de krigs liderlige typper. ;)

Scroll up to what? I read this whole page and then went back a page. I didn\'t see anything with relation to what I am talking about. What I was saying (just to clear things up) is which button do you click if you are 15-17? There is a 13-15, a 15-17, and a 16-18. So if you are 15, 16, or 17, you fall into two of those categories. Also if you are 30 or 40, there\'s no clear place to vote.

Post by: dazer on June 05, 2003, 07:40:17 pm: Am I the only one to notice that the numbers go 13-15, 15-17, 16-19? So which do you pick if ur 15?? Or if your me and your 17?? And the 16 year olds?? I think there is some overlaping groups here that are making the results kinda skewed.

P.S. good job whoever made the survey :P
Title:
Post by: paxx on June 05, 2003, 08:15:58 pm: Whitti this is a flawed poll in how you broke down the ages.

You should have used more standard demographics

5-12, some influence on parents but really no choice in what systems they have, relatively little knowledge of RPGs it is all new to them.

13-19 you start to have other issues (like the opposite sex) and start to have some purchasing power of your own as well as influence on system purchase and makeup. RPG experience starts to go up as does serious reading. (the second most important demo of this group)

20-24 independent and/or high consumers of little things, $3000 for a gaming computer seems entirely rational. RPG can become very serious and game life and social standing might be as important as real life?also most people are just starting to really start to think they can think. (the main demo of any game of this type ATM)

25-36 other issues become more important, family is usually an issue at this point and entertainment is just that?and escape, the wants and needs are viewed through the scope of if this is giving me any type of joy?these are the people with the most cares probably, but the least time, and are really just looking for a fun time sink.

37+ these are the looking at computers in a new light, or really old time computer users from when computers did little for gaming. (Monochrome days at best) this is the group that might invest more time in the game, for social things, but less time for adoration of peers, also this group is less likely to upgrade their computer every 2 years as some are. At best these would become big casual users but few from this demo would spend more then 15 hours a week at best. Also this group is least likely to want to deal with many problems.

We could split the high group more?but I don?t expect the MMOG world has reached the early baby boom generation much as of yet?it will, but I am not sure it has. The pre baby boomers I don?t see until some good and real gambling is introduced. But at that point the game would be more real world and less about high adventure.

These are just my opinions, but having 2-3 year spans till 20 and then a 10 year span tells you nothing.

Maturity levels are really bizarre in youth, and you gain nothing from 2-3 year gaps?you might as well have done 1 year gaps. The real demo of any entertainment post 5 years old is 15-45 and that is really where you can break up a lot.

As far as out target demographic?more then likely get older as we go since we as devs will age. But with an older Demo the longevity of the game is longer as well.
