Oh God I'm Old

[L]

Coming back after some sort of ambiguous hiatus a year ago, I had someone join my server and a short conversation along these lines ensued:

"You're pretty good at building."
"Thanks."
"You type pretty well, too."
"I guess so."
"How old are you?"
"17."
"Woah, a little old for Blockland, don't you think?"
"..."

That pretty much killed my urge to play Blockland on the spot. For some reason. Just like legos, Blockland seems to be one of those age-ambiguous games that attracts primarily younger kids, yet can still be insanely fun to play for all ages, as long as you ignore the fact that you kind of look like a senile old person playing in a ball pit full of toddlers.

Anyways, how old are you, and more importantly, what do you think is the primary age range of the Blockland community? And, do you give a stuff?

Judging from some of the "oh now you've done it im telling the admin on you" arguments I've broken up on some of my servers, it definitely seems like the majority is... lower than middle-school range. At most.

I don't know why kids say "ogm ur too old for bl!!" cause I know people older, but don't get your mind confused my them.

I never really thought of it that way but I am also 17; and find myself screaming internally at the stupidity of some of the users on the game, same with the server choices.

I don't feel like I'll be leaving any time soon tho.

ok the person who said that is jumping to conclusions

my guess is the actual ages range from 10-18, with about 30-40% in the 11-14 range. I myself am sixteen and don't feel that anyone can be too old for this game

honestly its like saying legos are only for little kids
yeah sure its a toy that little kids play with but it doesn't mean we can't go hardcore and complex with it

oh yeah, do a poll.

Furling played Blockland and he was like 40.

17 isn't that old. If you can play Minecraft at 17, you can play Blockland.

im 13
i'd guess im around the average age in-game, but kind of on the younger side on the forums

Personally, I'm 13, I don't care how old you are as long as you're not hosting a love Family RP server.  Just don't act like you're one of them and you'll be fine in my books.

No one's too old for any game ;)

Well maybe some games lol.

oh yeah, do a poll.

Will do.

I always got the impression that the people at these age ranges were kind of null to the whole "you're too old" argument because they typically had Asian-level building skills and would do stuff like create to scale models of all man made wonders of the world with one hand and do their taxes with the other.

hosting a love Family RP server

I lol'd.

This is just occurring to me, but maybe most of these "older" players just don't interact with the community much? Despite having agonized for years on how to set up a multiplayer Blockland server in the past, I'm basically just inclined to turn off RTB's Chat and ignore the server list in its entirety.

From what I remember in the past, whenever I did join a server with someone who was doing something really incredible, they were typically just ignoring everyone and using the server as a sort of a gallery for their builds.

im 15, but i dont care about age, as long as your mature.  i hate the server selection because people keep hosting thesame thing over and over and over again!  im sick of going to the servers now...  everything is boring because people "cant" host anything else.

I think the average gamers are here, anyone can game though.

Would you believe me if I said I'm 124 years old?
