Like others have said, free accounts seem to be mostly younger kids, unlimited accounts probably average somewhere around early 20's.
I've met a lot of folks around my same age playing the game, over 30. |

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. |

I'm older than my current level (28)
I don't think I'm average though (above average yes!!). If I had to guess I would say the average age is 28, including noobs. Last edited by Sarah; 09-10-2008 at 06:32 PM.. Reason: stating age.... |

I would have to guess the average age would be around fourteen; the logic behind this is a cross between the information on this post and watching the conservations in-game. An example would further be that of the average age of military members (around 21); the spread of ages would seem to be closely related, just moved a bit further downwards.
Personally (and using my grandkids words) I'm three times older than dirt and five times as dusty. As with a fellow poster, my grandkids (vice kids) tend to "play" and I will see them running around like a chicken with their heads cut off or blasting away any remaining canon ammo while shooting at clouds when returning from a nature pause. Best of luck to all players. |

Well, I apologize to the mods, I've already listed my age in another post on this board
 ah well. But I could have written the OP's post.. I'd save average age is 14-15, going by how many people are running around looking for a gf/bf rotfl! But I think there are lots of folks who are older than that, think we are just a quieter group. And if some male pirate is following you around helping you, but won't answer anything you ask, umm.. that's probably my pre-reading son. He loves to play and I haven't had the heart to tell him that his 'friends' probably don't want him following them for an hr straight. Two nights ago some one was running around asking for ages. I politely told her it wasn't allowed.. and was then nearly beaten, tarred, and feathered for my trouble. Ah well. |

I have to say that I think the avarage age in the game has to be somewhere in the range of 11 to 16. Like another poster said ealier, you can you usually tell by the jumping around or all the misspelled words. Although I'm guilty of that alot.
My age is close to dirt and my guild has members that are very reflective of dirt and older than dirt. We have 2 members that are in their teens, but are very polite and normally ask if they can tp to you or board your ship. I don't mind younger players, but it make the game more enjoyable if you are playing with people your own age IMO. |

It's hard to put my finger on an average age... I would guess between 11-13. Although over all, POTCO has a great varied range of people of all ages and walks of life to play with.
I am an adult player, and if someone asks me how old I am irl, I always tell the truth. It's kind of creepy when you're talking to someone that you know is the average playing age and they ask you to be their gf...ew! I enjoy playing with mostly adults, but I'm sure I've got some younglings on my list. I find that adults are more respectful of your in-game time and they understand that sometimes one has real life obligations that can keep you away from the game for an extended period of time. I have this one member in my guild who hardly ever talks. He will drop in on anyone at anytime and help you out with whatever. When you move on, he'll go somewhere else. At first I thought he was a bit odd, but after seeing some posts here about way young players, it makes me suspect that he is in that category. |

I wouldnt question the age as much as i would question the maturity some of the people i have run into in the game are pretty immature most people just explode and just wanna fight and complain.
