The average age is probably much higher than people are guessing - primarily because it only takes one 45 year old and four 15 year olds to get an average age of 21. The distribution of ages probably has a mode in the late teens, but there are not a lot of paying players younger than early teens (and those are likely scarce because parents are not keen to pay for tweens to be involved in as much "grown-up talk" as I usually see and tweens are not interested in playing if they know they are restricted on chat). So, a small proportion of us older players make for an average of paying players that is probably close to 30. I couldn't guess the average of non-paying because I do everything possible to avoid their usual haunts.

Well the only problem I have with that math, is that 90% of the kids ive met in the game were 11-14 to begin with (and not yet 15 as that example states).

lets just say i'm older than zeppers...which also makes me an old fart! But age is just a number...as my friends scoff at me for playing pirates i guess it goes to show i'm youngera t heart than they are!

but to answer the question at hand...my guess is the average age just went up since school has started. I'm thinking 15-17.

Most of my friends are between the age of 10 and 21. I'd say average is 17.

Wouldn't a poll be better? With options such as age groups,
1 - 5
6 -10
11 - 15
16 - 20
21 - 25
26 - 30

And so on. The poll could be done where no one posts what they have selected or to at least wait until there has been at least 15 to 20 picks in the poll to hid who picked what.

I have wondered what the age is of some of the players cause sometime their actions seem they are coming from a 10 year old. example "plz let me steer" or the continuing of asking to go after the big Navy flag ship where they are only a level 9 on a crew of 3 or 4 which no one but myself is at least a level 20. And then what happens is I end up being the only one left on board to beat them all.

Moved on? I'm not moving anywhere... we adults were here first!

(thats a play-on-words from Tobias' post... aww forget it - young people these days just dont get it LOL )

Ok, for my current guess - on POTCO, probably 13-19 average age - on FOF here - I'm thinking 21-35 average age... I find older people will post more confidently and often.

Thats my guesses for today
