So why post that players are getting older? :confused:

It must be your kiddie eyes not seeing i took the ages of the birthday list from the FORUMS. not Era.
Stop comparing Era to forums. Era wishes to have an community like here.

:confused:

You realize how stupid that is right?
It'd be like try to determine the average age of people in a country by just using every birth certificate from the beginning of the records.
Thomas Jefferson is 267 this year, what an effort.

A lot of the people in the birthday list of the forums would have signed up in 2001-2002 when the game was most popular, and many of them likely don't play anymore. So their inclusion would blow out the average age of the community.
This is compounded by the fact that very few new players actually bother signing up for the forums.

That said, Chris' list from Era is bound to be much more representative of the actual ages of players.

I'm also sure that many more people on the forums would lie about their age, since there is an incentive on the forums to lie (access to the Lounge). There is no incentive to lie about your age on an anonymous survey in game.

Unless you are a compulsive liar. But other than that yeah you have a point.

Habit of lying about age (from the social pressures, etc) -- also the lack of guarantee of anonymity.
