    Looking at the average posts from players around the forums, I'd say the average age of the pk server players is around 5, and and the pve server players seems to be around 18 or so.
    Main characters
    Celestial Sage Venomancer Zoe - 100
    Sage Barbarian Malego - 91

    Lets not turn this into a "PVE players are better than PVP players" hey b:kiss

    But then again I'm not suprised as in every game I've played there's always been PVE'ers who have aired an arrogance that they think they are somehow better because they don't partake in barbaric bloodshed and mindless maiming of players

    If 5 year olds can comprehend the way this game works, kudos to them. I couldn't even fully play Super Mario RPG when I was a kid.

    And I put myself down in 16-18, I'm 18.

    =\ This would be right, except the PK players seem to have the arrogance and such. =_= Why else would they say we're on a carebear server?
    Good post? d=(^_^)=b

    Lets refrain from flaming whos more immature on which server before this thread gets closed >_> cause this poll is honestly kinda interesting, and hoping for more pple to put in their clicks. For my faction at least half of the higher and actives (or more than) are comprised of pple who are age 28+

    Unfortunately there's idiots in all groups you shouldn't tarnish everyone with the same brush just because a few in a group have issues, so of course there's arrogant people in both sects be it pvp or pve.

    I hate the term carebear being used on pve people just because they don't like pvp action. The only true carebears are generally the ones who think they're uber preying on weaker players and running away with their tails between their legs when a challenge comes along, the ironic thing is they're the ones who generally call everyone else a carebear!

    Somewhat true what others has stated. I'm 25 and I hate being on this pvp server but I joined because my friend was on there and he guided me really well. And then I got my whole family to join too ...But now I wish it was on a friendlier server, lol. Nevertheless, we have fun and we have a great guild. But the pking is not for me.

    I, myself, am 20 yrs old. Most of the people in my faction are aged 19-22. Though I do know quite a few 26+ yr olds who play, and even a few 40+s.

    I'm well over 30 (over 40 actually) and I know of a handful of players who are anywhere from 40 to 70 on Sanctuary. I think many of the older ones just don't read the forums, so the counts on the older side are low.

    You put 5 options for people under 30 and one for "30+?" You could have at least put options for 40+ and 50+.

    Does it really matter when only 14% who answered are in that range ?

    I'm 6... girl.

    You are totally wrong b:angry

    Oh yea, the average age of a PvE server is a number between 1 and 99. With 1 having 0% chance and 99 having 9999999% chance. Like my math? It's teh 1337 hax.
