You do know simply posting your age onto this thread is pointless, unless someone's planning to survey the average age of players by counting posts on this thread - which the OP most assuredly isn't aiming to do.

IMO, from what I gather on this forum and in-game messages, this game appeals to a wide variety of age groups, from some people (I suspect under 10s) who don't bother/lack the ability to communicate properly to those older players who you can have a reasonable chat with. Of course, there are exceptions, but generally you can estimate the age of players you talk to.

Thank you for your incredibly sensible, and not completely immature, post.

I think there are 4 main types of people on here:

1. Children under the age of 8 who play with their parents. The game appeals to them because of the graphics (like the people walking around the castle) and because they can arrange their castle how they want. If they do buy rubies, then their parents pay for them and they spend them all on aesthetic aspects of the game - changing the castle name, altering the coat of arms, buying a king's banner and/or buying decorations that look nice (instead of the best ones). These players often fail to get past level 30, whether they get bored of the game or just spend all their time doing things which don't earn them EXP.

2. Children under the age of 18 who fail to use correct grammar and punctuation, complain when they get attacked and refuse to act maturely in any way, shape or form. They like the game because they like attacking other players. They don't buy rubies, or if they do, then only buy a few and waste them on things like heroes and slots (recruitment, production, construction) without buying a bakery.

3. People between the age of 10 and 18 who play this game nicely, understand that it is a war game and all/most game mechanics (occupancy, melee vs ranged in attack etc.) although they don't make it past level 40 before getting bored of the game and quitting. They like the game for the right reason - because they enjoy MMORPGs and the main parts of this game (attacking, defending, expanding castles and outposts and sometimes alliance politics). They might buy a few thousand rubies, but nothing major.

4. People above the age of 18 who play this game well - they understand all of the rules of this game, however complicated, and often reach level 60 and buy lots of rubies. Again, they like this game for the reason you are supposed to: they like MMORPGs and this probably isn't the first one they have played.

Of course, there are exceptions - I don't quite fit into any of these categories.

And, people type like 6 year-olds because they can't be bothered tying the right words.

Why take the risk and post such a pointless, random comment?



No, of course that wasn't sarcasm.

Proof that there are exceptions - adults do not necessarily read the thread PROPERLY, and neither do some of them post USEFUL comments.

I don't think people can post useful comments in this thread. It's not like we're really talking about something specific in the game here, or trying to solve a problem. And given that the thread has gone from average age to poor orthographic skills and back again does it really matter what people post now? Within reason.

And their comment was still much more useful than many I have seen on this forum.
