They shouldn't be here. They don't matter.

A very teasing age, no doubt.

Classic has an older playerbase, I guess it's those who are clinging on to the memories and have been around for a while. Zodiac averages at about 16, I'm not sure about UN but I'd say it were about the same. I think Kingdoms would probably have an older playerbase too.

There's some 9 year old on Zodiac.

IF THEY ARE LYING ABOUT THEIR AGE TO GAIN ACCESS THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE, THEY DO NOT MATTER.

YOU CAN'T PROVE AGE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE WHO IS 13.

LOL CAPS.

people that young should not be playing, they're one of the reasons we cant swear on most servers, and come on they're just words anyway. That is the number 1 thing on graal that bugs me. swear filters. kids under 13 just shouldnt play.... like on classic, have you listened to the conversations there? kids shouldnt be hearing/seeing that stuff

I'd think it should be more along the lines of, the older people should grow up a bit? There shouldn't be any age limit for Graal, if they enjoy the game I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to play it for the sake of some idiots.

Cursing and maturity is a loose link.

Stopping younger people from playing the game would pretty much kill the game and almost all influx of new players. The reason we have so many older players as of now is mostly because they are players who have been here for awhile. Not to mention that swear filters are optional server to server. Have a problem with it? Take it up with the management of the servers, not Graal Online. As far as the forums go, swear filters on forums for games is pretty common, although GO does take it way too far.

Darlene159 · #58 02-17-2007, 12:38 AM

There have already been at least 2 people in the poll that have lied about their age, just for the fun of it I'm sure.

That's not bad, if they're the only ones. There's been 65 votes up to this point.

Well, the thing is, I am only sure of those 2 (or they have been lying on other occassions). Who knows....

Tolnaftate2004 · #61 02-17-2007, 12:46 AM

I think you're just trying to come up with a reason to keep your assumption that graal's playerbase consists primarily of young children correct.

Why exactly do you think this? I think you once said you did a poll on N-Pulse or something? Regardless, it was years ago if you did.. and years ago all of us were younger.

Right now the voting is like 36 out of 56 people are over the age of 18. I really doubt they are all lying for the heck of it. I don't know why you think the forum userbase and the game userbase is so much different...

Are you trying to say that the people playing the game are like 10 years old and don't know how to find the forums?

I think your right. Most of the playerbase is pretty Young but they are mostly teenagers.

Why do I need to come up with a reason? I personally don't care what ages play, but I still personally think the playerbase consists of mostly members under the age of 16, yes. More older people play now then years ago, yes.

Have you ever noticed that there are usually more guest accounts viewing the forums then there are members? I look every day, and most of the time there are a lot more guests then members on the forums. Do you know the ages of those guests reading these forums?

Are you saying you are 77 like your profile says? Or even over 40?

Of course they are mostly teenagers.

As far as I know, most of those are search engines.

Mykel · #66 02-17-2007, 01:22 AM

The fact is, Moonie, we don't know how old the average non-poster is. But we have a decent idea of how old the posters are. What makes you think the non-posters are so much different?

I'm not saying they are different, just saying we don't know. All we can do is judge by a poll of avid posters, but that will not show the average player. All it shows is the average forum POSTER.

If I am would it count as spam?

Also I really do think Graal should hold a poll...just for fun and for the sake of statistics.

Why not limit the forums to registered users?

The forums allow classic accounts now, so I don't see how that's a horrible idea.

yes I am. I see no reason to lie. I post pictures of my grandaughters saying they are me because I find it quite amusing. The results that is.

That seems kind of unfair for those players not to not be able to see it.

well yes but whats the point in upgrading something you can't see? it would be really dumb because you wouldn't know if it was any good.

I'm sure there is a way to have a particular category (maybe even just a forum) that unregistered users can post in...
