Well, I'll be hitting 50 in a few months. I guess the main reason I still play is that I like the idea of making people in their 20's destroy their keyboards in a rage.
Geriatric power FTW!

Hey mate, I remember your blog. I used to have the Blurring Shock blog. Great to cross paths again. And I am 43 so you are making me feel young.

Hello Vaul - The spirit is still young, it's some of the body parts that let me down sometimes

41 y.o., 2 kids, first played WAR on day 1 after 8 hours of waiting for authorization when that stupid French company (forgot the name) screwed launch of WAR.
And when I am gone I want to reincarnate in Kadrin Valley. Love the views of Kadrin Drengi!

I turn 51 in a few weeks. Played back in 2008 when the game first came out but then as population dropped more and more I couldn't see spending 15 bucks a month to get one shot when I hit T4 so I lost interest. Was bummed when the game shut down though. Normally I casually play LoL pretty much every evening for a bit but I wanted a break and was reminded of this just randomly from a Youtube video and thought I would give it a try again.

37 here. A 43yo friend brought me back to RoR (used to play AoR). He stopped playing but we still log in occasionally for the eye candy since we love WH universe.
Nowadays we play more Darkest Dungeon and Iratus for getting our gothic setting fix. For warhammer I still play totalwar WH2, vermintide2 and DawnofWar2 (never liked how cartoonish dow3 looks) and battlefleet gothic armada.
And I reinstalled LoL after 2 years to get my competitive play fix and I really like how it changed since then. Less stat based strong skills, and more skill shot and environmental mechanics. It will take a while to get off my rust but looks like something worth getting the motor reflexes trained for. After RoR, I almost spilled my coffee at how fast matches pop.
Full time work+family leaves little time, and removal of nb brought glaring design mechanics back to surface and destro nerf driven imbalance made things really stagnant (I am order btw). I will log on and off to run a sc every now and then when pop is over 1k.
