Originally by: Athea G'man Nice stats, too bad they're almost three years out of date by now. (Interview date October 2006). EVE has doubled its population since then, so the demographics reported there are very likely to have changed. Any more recent statistics? /me loves the statistics.

Originally by: Kir'ian Funny thing about physical age of players in MMOs... it has little to do with the level of maturity of such players. I've seen sixteen years olds that could lead guilds/corps with all the professionalism of a seasoned CEO of some "fortune 100", and then I've seen fourty year olds chuck their mouse across the room when their precious rifter got blown up. Age is no measure online.... unfortunately?
Exactly. One's chronological age seems to have little to do with one's behavioral age in this game (or, I imagine, any other internet community).

I would like to think I carry more kindness and empathy then the average 13-year old. Unfortunately this is the Internet. We're screwed in a way, or if you want to get some decent conversation.

I believe the average age is somewhere between 26 and 32.
But I think median age is what you're looking for, because a couple 80 year olds and a few kids will sway the average.

I think 'average IQ' would be more pertinent. ... as well as 'average relationships ruined because of EVE'.
And a word of advice: don't judge the community by the forums. There's thousands of people who actually know how to play the game.

I'm 34 myself, but it's not the ages of the players that really bother me, but more of the amount of racism I have ran into in this game.
I have only been playing about two weeks and I love the game, so I became a sub. I had a number of corps try to recruit me because I like mining. Everything goes fine until I go onto voice chat and the moment it's discovered that I'm African-American, the N word starts flying left and right and I'm not allowed in the corp (I wouldn't want to be in it anyway after that, hehe).
I finally found a small corp that didn't care about my race and joined them and have been enjoying the heck out of the game despite how I was treated by a few bigots.

Have to say, I'm rather surprised. You had a bad experience there, I would say. We've had people of all races and countries of origin in corp, and it's NEVER been an issue.
I think it's despicable that a corp would not want you as a member simply because of race.
Luckily, I don't think you'll find many corps or even players in this game with that kind of a mindset.

Originally by: Blane Xero Was 14 when i started eve (2 days after my birthday) and now i am 17. Age is irrelevant for the most part.
Keep telling yourself that. Sorry that I've started behaving like "the man," but age is completely relevant to a lot of things in EVE.

Originally by: Karlemgne Here, found it for you guys: http://virtual-economy.org/blog/interview_with_ccp_eve_currenc
The average age of the player base is 27.

Of course you are absolutely correct; however, in the world of the academy nothing exists without a citation, and that was the most contemporary report I could find.
I think it should still give a rough idea of the average age though. I believe its quite high still (late 20s) and certainly higher than in most other MMOs.
Incidentally I was 28 when that was published, and playing eve.

hows the saying go ? WoW players get harassed by their mothers, EVE players get harassed by their wifes
idk the real stats, but ive played many MMOs and i find the eve community seems to be more mature than most/all the other games ive played, but thats just my personal opinion.
personally im 26, and have been playing since 05

that is out of line, in my corp we tease each other all the time, we have people from U.S., Canada, England , Denmark, Greece,Australia,..... but hostility like that is out of line, I hope you put in a petition over it.some people are more sensitive about things like that, it can really hurt people.

screenshot and petittion there asses
then make sure to spread the word if such crap corps exist (there is a fine difference between quality smack-talk and actuall racism ,not allowing you in corp because of your race falls in the second category) , they will be war-deced out of existance
YE I hate Goonswarm
No whatever trash goons may spout in chat , it`s just harmless smack

My worst ever in game typo, in a corp chat numbering 1,600 members I might add, was when I was new and complaining aboout being popped by a bigger ship - but, I hit the N instead of the B...!
Now a CEO of my own corp were I ever to hear anything like what you have described it would be an immediate departure and petition. I have to listen to enought crap in RL where people assume that I share their biggoted views, being white and in a suit, so I wont endure it in here.
Oh, 42 btw.

theres 5000+ people in Goonswarm and their oldest member is 16 and 3 quarters. He said so himself.
That's gotta sway the average down surely.

I dont suppose you'd care to tell us the name of the corp you mention? Or perhaps just PM it to me.

That's really disappointing, I didn't think that kind of thing would happen in EvE. Ah no, hang on a minute, goonswarm. I forgot for a minute.
Well I'm still dissapointed, I hope you have a great time in EvE without any further incidents.

Well a fair amount of you caught on, Originally I was going to make it based on maturity / IQ, but if I had said that I would have attracted more goons and other somethingaweful lurkers faster than I could edit the post
I just grow tired of the internet "memes" and fads that are going around, and to be quite honest, It gets very repetive with this whole "troll" mentality.
