Just wondering the age of ED players?
- Thread starter KrAaZyIvAaN
- Start date
32 here, going 33 this summer... but 12 according to some of my friends x)
Well, I didn't want to say anything...
Maybe FD should rip up the plans for space legs and seriously consider doing space wheelchairs instead.

1964. feel like a kid. i'm not very good at guessing ages, nor their significance. physically in very good shape, although quite bald since i was a teen. even so, many guess me younger. often people consider me like someone venerable, experienced. growing a discrete white beard had something to do with it. it's funny because i have little clue about anything. i'm just a kid with a beard. this being alive thing is indeed a curious experience. i'm reasonably ready to die, in peace with the idea of it, already got my stuff together, just enjoying my time, no hurries whatsoever. oh and i sometimes talk too much. only sometimes.

Frontier should also add Sanatogen, Preparation H & a certain little blue pill beginning with V (can't get past the forum filter with its name) to the commodities & maybe some Saga passenger cruise missions & special cheap rebuy insurance, too. The seemingly decrepit demographic possibly explains why the game is so anodyne.
I'm 35 & I think I'm way too old to be playing a spaceships game, really (however infrequently these days)...so much so that only my gf knows I play & why my study (aka 'gaming room' with hotas in plain view) has a lock on the door; this, despite one of my colleagues owning an Elite mug, but I would never broach the subject for fear of deserved ridicule from other staff members - I often wonder if he's on the forums [big grin]
NB: Another appropriate amendment...to the flight suits in the store...
my id gives a clue.
Remember original Elite, but only got to play it on an Amiga a few years later.
Mainly played Frontier, which is I think more the route ED should have gone and ignore the whinging kids asking for Engineering and Powerplay.
I am so glad to see a game I have always loved, being dragged into the modern age, with the graphics to do it justice. There aren't many games that all you really had to do to modernise them is just improve the graphics.

44 years
Think im 45 lol
It's currently 2018, if that helps.
Looking at the poll that was done it looks like the 70s and 80s children were the dreamers of space travel and most likely to look up at the night sky and wonder if we will ever get off this rock.
Works good for Fdev as this is a demographic that would have accumulated income over the years and would have been influenced by a lot of sci-fi flicks.
Great customer base.
I wonder if the millennial generation will look for reality show based games in their 40s.

39 here. Nearly the top of the hill.
38, wow really?
- Can we sticky this thread so frontier can understand who their audience is? Most of the community management indicates otherwise.
- While technology is in the best state its been (apart from the user hostile software environment), the only claim i have is to miss the days when using computers required knowing something more than how to find the power button. Less ruffians youd meet down the street, or at least they would be the ones you knew about and didn't mind so much.

35... meh.
Wow, I was expecting some younger people here. I don't know why. I'm probably the youngest here, 17
The reference itself puts you in a 40+ category at least till the 3rd movie gets made. Also that avatar is the only good thing about that album.
You know, I knew I’d be in the minority in the Elite community, but I didn’t realize just how much. I’m only 19.
It's a Jurassic World for sure!
With relativity in the galaxy, I do not know how old I am
