Okay I realise the vast majority of players are teenagers, but I was wondering if anyone has put together a website for those of us who are older "kids" for players over 30.
Actually... if you look at say the Daedalus project, which has run surveys over several thousand people, you'd find the average MMO player is about 25 years old, and if you cast your eye on the ESA's games trends statistics it looks like the average computer games player is now 33 years old... more "mature" gamers offline, I guess, and perhaps the teens are now spending their time on Facebook.

Come to think of it, I'm not exactly sure if we should just spread word about Wowhead... Obviously it's nice to get more users and stuff, but it'll also get immature people here. The 'good' users are more likely to find the site by themselves and that way the "zomg I just ninjad this imba wep from our tank im so 1337 now lmao" comments would be left away.
P.S. I'm apparently the same age as Smacked (born in Nov '92). Hello there, fellow teen!

I'd like to say I see age independent of maturity and player skill... And, I do, for the most part. But when a hunter named XPWNSNOOBSX and is in /y begging for free gold... I can't imagine an adult seriously doing that.
Note: I'm 14 and am well-respected my my guild mates and my in-game friends that know my age.

i've been in many many guilds where everyone guesses that i'm around 25ish because i act so maturely and then i tell them after about 2-3 weeks that i'm only 13. gained a lot of "WTF!?!?!" points doing that

16. Nothing annoys me more than kids telling adults that if they're over 18/21/X AGE and they still play they need to get lives. I see it more often than one would think, I know I'm young but kids need to learn their place.

So you say that everyone who ain't a grown up is flaming everyone and can't see their own mistakes?
I'm 16 here and I think I know how to play my 25man raiding druid.
Here is a little story....
I was in BM and this arms warrior were tanking with DPS gear + shield. I was okay with that, so everything went okay, untill 2nd boss where we wiped cos everyone took huge dmg including the warrior, and we wiped. Then he starts on all that "omg l2healme ffs nub", and I was like "so you blame me? maybe you should get some tank gear and use shield block!". And then he starts with the shit "A LITTLE KID SHALL NOT TEACH ME TO PLAY! IM 30! I'VE TANKED THIS MANY TIMES!!".
Moral is, he is 30, I'm 16. Grown ups can be right as bad as "kids". I didn't said anything to him untill he started to blame me.
And a grown up like you shouldn't blame all "kids" in world of warcraft, you should know better.
In WoW its not life experience wich counts, mby a 9year kid cant play WoW, but Im 16, and Ive played World of Warcraft since release. My english is quite decent, and I know whats needed about most classes. So next time you just grouped a little kid don't start a "grown up is thousand times betters"-thread.
Adults can be right as rookie as kids. I grouped a warrior once, adult, without shield slam. I didnt blame him, but he stated he was adult and know howto play, when some other group members asked him why.
(Yes all my stories are about warriors since I'm healer and all the flames I get are from warriors).
Don't EVER blame what you refer to as "kids". Blame the rookies.
- Hate the game, not the player.
