The age of players in ms

[jkurer]

i started playing over winter break when my 360 was being repaired. My 8 year old sister got me started, so i feel a little better knowing im not the only one over the age of 10 playing. but yeah, im 19 going on 20...

I know many many people over 30 who play.
Lots under 30 too... if you were to make a graph of it...

01-10: ===== 5%
10-20: ======================================== 40%
20-30: ========================= 25%
30-40: ================== 18%
40-50: ======== 8%
50-60: === 3%
60-70: = 1%

In that general ballpark... but really, how would we even know what the stats TRULY are? We wouldn't without the MS creators doing a server-wide poll on every single account. Even then there'd be a massive % error for the poll being incomplete still or dishonest replies. Blah blah blah... so we can only guess.

My guess is the bulk of players are ages 10-40 with a dramatic increase in numbers starting at age 10 and dramatic drop starting at age 40, followed by another dramatic drop at age 50. Another guess, there are more playing ages 40-50 than "1"-10. Of course nobody will likely be playing at age 1, I just put that as the absolute. If they are playing at age one, ROCK ON! ;)

Here's a look at the guessing-chart above in terms of majorities/minorities:

The single majority: 40% ages 10-20
The 2nd greatest grouped majority: 65% ages 10-30
The 1st greatest grouped majority: 83% ages 10-40
(Ages "1"-10 and 50+ being in the greatest minority at 10%)

Person "A" might know a lot of people who are in age bracket "X".
Person "B" might know a lot of people who are in age bracket "Y".
A has no idea about Y. B has no idea about X.

Even if "A" knows kids and grown-ups and "B" knows kids and grown-ups, what both know doesn't account for the ENTIRE Global-MapleStory.

We just don't know.

But we can guess, and it's always fun guessing. lol :)

15...so many older people...>_> The good thing in MMOs is that people can make friends with any age, because they're not going by how tall they are, how their voice sounds, facial hair, or things like that. Sure, sometimes it's hard to find someone your OWN age to relate to & crap, or especially someone that lives anywhere near you...(of course, if you live in Cali, I'm sure you'll meet a bunch of people that live around you...>_>). Most of my friends are like 17+, but I get along better with those my own age...well, some of them.
btw, Shouldn't this be in Tomato Island? o_O & uh...yay for Puberty? >_>

25-35 ??? u make me feel old... why not 25-30 and 30-35 ? XD well im 25

The graph (below) I made up is just somethin' I made up... it's not based on the current poll results in this thread. Is it just me or has each age range in the poll at the top of this thread been changed? That would make every single cast vote so far invalid because they voted prior to the change in each age bracket.

[Majal]

OMG YOUR A OLD KITTY!

I turned 12 a month ago. I'm suprised because most MS players are very bellow the age wizet thinks you should be in order to play maple. But in most MMORPG's there is no cursing.

You must have a candy-coated version of any MMORPG that is spoon fed to you by your parents.

I'm 19, odd how 18 is categorized with 19-22, thought highschoolers stick together? No?

[Taimeko]

wow a game intended for 8-12 yearolds is dominated by late teens like me...
