I dont want to know why people hate me, I did not ask that. I asked why some members have a problem with my AGE, or other peoples AGE. |

Perhaps they think all old people act like you act and that's why they don't like you. Perhaps it's because they come on the internet/games to get away from adults and escape reality and you bring back some sense of it back into the game? |
Darlene, I think people use your age as an excuse to let you know about other reasons why they dislike you. I highly doubt it is solely because you're older than everybody else. So yeah, I agree with the people who said things like that.
Houdini, I also doubt people hate you for age, but rather how you act in-game. Also, Darlene, didn't you have a daughter that played Graal (Princess-something)? Just wondering. |

I think it pretty much has to do with younger people wanting to feel like they are the majority and that they are doing something exclusively. If the game is AIMED at young teenagers then the young teenagers will usually be the majority, and when this happens, they will look differently at older AND younger people playing the game.
I don't think it's an "I'm trying to escape my parents" thing. It's more of an "older people already have so many exclusive things that we're not allowed to do" thing. Younger teenagers can't legally buy cigarettes or alcohol, drive a car, go to bars, go to an R rated movie without a guardian, get a good job, etc etc etc... The list is a long one. So they feel threatened when an adult is playing on a game where they are the majority. Like "you don't belong here, go raise a family or watch an R rated movie". lol... That's just my spin on things. Back when I was like 18-19 I was playing Gunbound and someone who was like 15 said I was too old to be playing. I'm like... uhhh the game worms was out before you were even born! lol |

Hey, hey, hey! Isn't it your duty to recruit and get these kids addicted? :p Anyway, the reason it has gotten better for you is that people have gotten used to it, and in game, you're not 'in the way' of them living in their own little, adult-free, world. Now as for the forums :p I'm willing to bet more people on these forums get mad at you not because of your age, but how you show it. Not in the way you admit your age, but how you act like the people here are less worthy/mature. Basically, it's a big no-no to treat teenagers and young adults like kids. |

And you don't feel as if it's worse here than in game? |
