I'm 63 and still playing after 10 years (With a couple of breaks.) I remember when manual jump still left you 15 km from the gate. Lol

Well, we had a 67 year old as part of the Dust 514 community for a while.

My Corp had a guy in his 60s at one point. I remember one time we were out doing Blops and he fell asleep while his Sin was on a gate. He had a clock behind him that would make the sound of a revving Harley engine every 15 minutes because he was narcoleptic, but the battery died so he literally fell asleep on his keyboard.

Rattati Senpai noticed us! See you in the next FPS!

All I can say is, I can remember my father having a fit when gas prices went past .40 cents a gallon.

Now as to my age, weeeelllllll, I'm as old as my nose and a bit older than my teeth.


I was unhappy when it broke .30 a gallon!!

When I was 20 I knew I'd still be kid and nerdy enough to be playing computer games at this age. But I didn't know there would be so many of us. Pretty cool.

I can remember Apollo 11. And yeah, we really went to the moon. Funny how actually traveling to another celestial body became old hat so quickly. And with computers that had less computing power than our phones today. LOL. Any other guys here remember Major Matt Mason? One of my favorites as a kid.

62 yo here. Amazing to think I've been playing Eve for almost 1/6th of my life!

Only young people think of being old as strange. Nothing changes on the inside. You still think young chicks are hot, except you are not allowed to express it. Old ladies were not attractive when I was 18, why should they now be at 48? "Youth is wasted on the young", Oscar Wild.

Oh yeah, Major Matt Mason. He had a buddy just like him, but in a red spacesuit. My Matt Mason did a lot of astronaut training exercises. Free falls from the sky, centrifuge spinning, riding a parachute made from a handkerchief, etc.

Had one of these D battery powered moon crawlers too. It had big sponge back wheels on the back and a really low gear ratio. That thing could climb up or crawl over anything. Those were some really fun toys.

Dude, a lot of us have spent a lot of time working hard to get Attraction to Older Ladies to level 5. And then Attraction to One Specific Older Lady You Been Paying Bills With to level 2, or even higher. Do you see what you just did to us? Brutal, and reported.

Unless I'm mistaken CCP said there was an 87 year among us a few years back. Altho no idea if they verified it or if it was just going by age set on the account info.

Turning 41 here soon. Been playing since 2006.
Since starting EvE I've trasitioned out of the military, earned a few degrees, and changed careers.
Workin' that ladder :)
