I know you're joking around, but this was the point I was making about differentiating between age and generation.

The average age of p99 players is going up (I think) compared to live, but the players themselves are from a younger generation than on live. Amongst other things, I think this impacts some of the differences between live and p99 behavior...there are significant others, but I do think this is one of them.

When p99 launches its 5th iteration of green (in 2040) the average age will probably be in the 60s...but they'll still be millennials or Gen Z. The number of Gen X'ers playing in 2040 will be very small...even if the game itself doesn't change I think EQ is complex enough that you can expect to see changes in how people play it....which is kinda cool that a game made in 1999 managed to pull off that much social sensitive complexity.
