    22 year old female school teacher. I teach high school geometry and world history. I don't get to play as much as I would like, mostly weekends now and maybe an hour or 2 a day if I can get my grading and lesson planning done.

    Love the game, very pretty and lots of fun. Working more now makes me not as upset about the cash shop over-pricing because with limited time I have limited needs for heiros!

    wAIT WAIt....your 22!!...High School Teacher?! I know you must be getting hit on all the time because if I knew my teacher was 22 I definitely would! Shiiiiit. Wish I was at your school. :)

    19, working at Kingdom of Hearts.
    I was going to post a reply... then I realized, you would likely reply in anger and insult me, to which I'd most likely respond with a wittier comment or slay you with a macro and then, onlookers, seeing that comments had been made, would interpret the traffic as interest, thus earning you attention you don't deserve for your **** post. So, when you DON'T see a comment from me, THAT is me saying "FAIL" in a much more effective manner.

    I'm 50, been playing for 3 days so far so good! It's a great relaxer, only I play before I go to work. I agree there isn't enough documentation but thats part of the fun ;).

    Some interesting stats, a little old but the trend is upwards in age
    The average game player is 33 years old and has been playing games for 12 years.
    The average game buyer is 40 years old.

    38% percent of all game players are women. In fact, women over the age of 18 represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (30%) than boys age 17 or younger (23%).

    In 2005, 25% of Americans over the age of 50 played video games, an increase from nine percent in 1999.

    44% percent of game players say they play games online one or more hours per week. In addition, 32% of heads of households play games on a wireless device, such as a cell phone or PDA, up from 20% in 2002.

    46 myself, oldest player I ever came across in a MMORPG was in his 60's

    I'm 18 and am dreading starting my life of slavery :(
    We should not have to work at all, its just to make businesses and corporations richer and the poor poorer, hell i want to live out in the hills self sufficient with no one telling me what to do and following the laws of nature rather than the laws of the state, one downside in doing this would mean losing my computer but hey im prepared to do that, im sorry but i can't find happiness in slavery like most of you can (no reference to the NIN song there ;)) and if you can't see why getting a dead end job and paying extortionate utility bills (that we should not be paying for anyways, just google Tesla and see for yourselves) is slavery then i feel sorry for you, i really do.
    Rant over :p

    I just turned 26 and this is my favorite mmo by far. I feel more comfortable buying little frivolous stuff in the cash shop than to be restricted from the whole game by money, as I can be broke at any given moment. :P

    I went and bought a new laptop lapdesk that holds my laptop + mousing room, and now I play PW from the LaZBoy all the time.

    It is nice to know I am not the only person active in game/forum that is over 20, *chuckles* I turned 41 late last month.

    As for too old to play? ......... You have got to be kidding me, by the time I am too old to play games I will be entering my second childhood (senility) and have a perfect excuse to be playing games.

    26, been playing games since the nintendo days. Took a break from MMO's at the end of my college years, and now work part time in finance, and other half as a freelance photographer.

    It gets tough to play and manage time when I've got so many gigs going on at the same time, but PW is my getaway, which is a considerably better entertainment alternative than going out all the time.

    Once a gamer, always a gamer :)

    Shouldn't have to work? Then how would anything that you enjoy or that makes your life better be produced? A life of self sufficiency doesn't mean you have to live in the woods without neighbors. Besides, a job doesn't have to be slavery. Go get an education and do a career you enjoy... or start your own business so all your labor goes to you...or purchase stocks so you can share in the wealth of companies. Shouldn't have to pay for electricity? Well then who would pay for it, the government? They get all their money from the people...you see what I'm getting at. Capitalism is vastly superior to socialism.

    Awww :-) Yeah it happens a bit. When they hired me I got a lecture on how I was and was not expected to dress and act. I didn't really need it, but considering how often you see on TV about teachers messing with their students, it makes sense. Apparently in Florida though if you do... stray.. you can get out of going to jail if you look good.

    If you mean 1/2 of that and aren't a wannabe rebel... then go out into the hills and do just that. If you'd like to donate your computer to the school I work at, we'd be happy to have it. I just hope you never find out what slavery really is... that would be sad. Go follow your dream and kill your own meals. Once we all stop being slaves there wont be any food except what you get fro yourself, so enjoy!

    you are right that is slavery somehow, but running to the hills is not freedom, its just temporary satisfaction til the corporates expand and reach you...
    if you are sincere and want to make a change than stay and fight, not by destroying stuff, but make a bigger corporate and pay people well instead of making them slaves...

    Wow... what country do you all live in?

    I live in the USA and I am sooooo NOT a slave. I am doing a job I love. I save money and live within my means. If I don't like my job I can quit. If I want more money I can get more training and get a better job, or I can get a 2nd job. If I want more time off I can quit my job and get a part-time job. I'd have to alter my spending/living habits, but if that's what I want to do then I guess I'd do it.

    I just don't get the slavery bit. I have no issue with people who run corporations making more money than I do. They invested their own money and provide jobs for millions of people. They provide food and clothing and shelter. Without corporations there would be no games, no computers, no lightbulbls, no quarter pounders with cheese.

    You all should move to the USA... or maybe move to a thrid world country and find out how bad life can be, then when you get back here you will appreciate your ... slavery... how very very bleak your outlooks... life is good from the time I wake up till the time I go to sleep and even then I have good dreams. I have responsibilities, but they are of my own making and I am happyt o meet them.

    This lady's and gentlemen is a classic case of a kid thinking he knows everything. Not to mention coming up with any excuse to get mommy and daddy to let him stay in their house till he's 50 instead of making a living and produceing a family. You will learn someday oh naive one.

    EDIT: Last time I checked you don't get paid for being a slave.
