Playing since 2008. Turn 46 in 2 months.
Hi, old-school Soviet here.
Can confirm through primary source accounts that we didnât have any ill will or gave two rat shits about turning any of you into glass. All we wanted was some of that sweet, sweet Pepsi juice. In fact, we ended up trading like half of our navy away for that stuff. Also, people just went about their business every day, and didnât instinctively throw themselves under the table every time an ambulance with the siren on drove by. So you can thank your government (at the time) for the instilled sense of paranoia. Of course, America created âthe problem with no name,â so thatâs par for the course.
What Iâm trying to say is that your life was fine (what with the stable employment, ability to own a home two years after college, et cetera), and youâre just being a huge drama queen, which is supposed to be our job, so weâd appreciate it if you didnât take that away that from our generation too. Although weâre willing to trade it for your guaranteed social security and pensions, if youâre interested.

I was 16 when JFK was assassinated. A lot of people were worried that it would start WWIII, it was a palpable fear on the street⌠I had a dream that night - that I woke up, opened my curtains, and saw a mushroom cloud over Birmingham (which was about 20 miles away). Itâs an image which still haunts me now, over 50 years later.
Part of the reason the 60âs was so much fun was because the prevailing feeling amongst young people was âlive to the full now, for you may not be here tomorrowâ - a feeling I sense creeping back into the world of todayâŚ
oh no.
Been playing 12 years, age 63
49 years old and have never had a prostate exam.
These are a myth. Some people donât realize it yet.
Not if youâre a boomer. Because of my job, Iâve been privy to quite a few pension documents, and these â â â â â â â are packing 7-figure funds and 6-figure annuities for mid-tier office worker drone jobs. And theyâre getting full social security on top of that.
Boomers did a really good job of stacking the system in favor of themselves, at the expense of the next 2-3 generations.

Yeah, I suppose the people who are already on the deal are doing pretty well. I wouldnât count on the deal lasting much longer.

incorrect Iâm 64
CCP published a video showing age demographics several years ago
This video ends the year I started playing. Maybe @CCP_Larrikin would be willing to bring it up to date.
As others have said, you can consume the PVE content a lot faster than the developers can create it - thatâs true of most games. Itâs the complexity of player interactions that makes Eve unique - politics, economics, military and market strategy. Itâs kept me entertained for over 6 years - for the record, I was in my 60âs when I started.

Since Feb. 2009 here, a few weeks before Apocrypha (wormholes, tutorial). Passed the half-century mark a few years ago.
My two corpmates are both 2003 accounts, and only 1 occasionally plays now. That one recently offered me his idle titan BPOs.

If you need a courier for that, hit me up. Iâll be sure to deliver it with a smile. Iâll even put up one point five million collateral for the contract so you know Iâm legit.

The older the EVE player the less likely youâll get a straight answer, if any answer at all.
Well, that depends.
