Too Old To Play What I Want

[BlackBellamy]

IMO the less play time you have the more group dependent you should be. Because if you can solo and can't find a group right away you'll go solo. And eventually you'll just be soloing all the time because people gravitate to the path of least resistance. If you need a group you'll spend some more time looking for one, but the play time you do get will be a lot more social and that goes a long way towards keeping you happy and playing long term.

Now, more than ever, is the time you need to play the class you want to play. This type of experience is few and far between.

Anyone else?

I bet the demographic age for those interested in Classic Everquest is like 35-55. In the Wikipedia entry one of the studies cited says:

• The average gamer is 30 years old and has been playing for 12 years. Eighty-two percent of gamers are 18 years of age or older.
  
• Forty-two percent of all players are women and women over 18 years of age are one of the industry's fastest growing demographics.
  
• Twenty-nine percent of game players are over the age of 50, an increase from nine percent in 1999.

%29 of gamers are over 50 years old haha....

Nah! Just pug as a rogue! Dude you will love it!

It's the most chill class, super fun and easy to get groups!! Maybe 20 mins of waiting around, chatting, sneeking around doing fun stuff just enjoying the view, then a pug group where you just stand around and stab!

You can get tons of fun STR gear, and also go for fashion! A good dagger goes a long way!

Wear some cool armor! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I play my rogue with a XBOX controller and it works great!

Is anyone else in this situation? I don't have the time to play what I want to play, so I am a little upset, but I have still come to terms with the fact that I just don't have the time to play what I want to play.

For example: I have always wanted to play a Rogue. The issue with them is that they are highly group dependant and I will be out-leveled by the population of Green quickly due to the amount of playtime I will have.

Due to that, my choice in classes is minimized to the classes that can group and can solo, leaving out some of the more interesting classes in this era of the game.

Anyone else?

There will be a lot of 'old people' m8 and rogues gets an xp bonus so just do it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why not join a guild and play with people when you can since it's not a race to the end. I only played back at launch and never made it past lvl 26 but had a blast so I don't see why I can't do the same again.

There's no age requirements, but you must own a beard IRL to play a shaman.
