EL Age Demographics

Someone made an age poll on our forums, and the results are pretty interesting.
As of the time I am posting, it will seem that people over 20 outnumber 2 to 1 those under 20.

between 5 and 10 [ 0 ] [0.00%]
between 11 and 15 [ 33 ] [10.00%]
between 16 and 20 [ 74 ] [22.42%]
between 21 and 25 [ 57 ] [17.27%]
between 26 and 30 [ 47 ] [14.24%]
between 31 and 40 [ 67 ] [20.30%]
between 41 and 50 [ 39 ] [11.82%]
between 51 and 60 [ 9 ] [2.73%]
older than 61! [ 4 ] [1.21%]
Total Votes: 330

If we assume that half of those between 16-20 are over 18, then only about 21% of the players in our game are minors.

This is not so surprising, a lot of kids come in the game only to start yelling "OMFG THIS GAME SUCKS!!1!!". Older people are less likely to do that.

Yes, I totally agree, it does look like the game is made for older people, I'm looking forward to see more people of 60+ age or more.

I think the likeliness of someone shouting "OMFG THIS GAME SUCKS!!1!!" depends more on the maturity of the player than their age.

Well, of course it does, but usually the maturity comes with age. And yes, there are exceptions from this rule, but the average older person is more mature than the average younger person.
