Yes there are actually a lot of adults that play GW. What's funny is running into some of the kids on GW that seem convinced that no actual adults with day jobs play GW. It cracks me up every time it happens. Or the ones who say, "wow you are old". Let me go get my CANE and whoop your BUTT with it. :P

I am 18, the average age in my guild is 22. The oldest guy is 41 and the youngest 15.

It's interesting to see that so far 40% are over 25, that's a lot higher than I was expecting to see. Makes me feel better that there are so many other "old" people who like this game too.

I'm 31 years old and started playing games when i was about 10 years old, and still can't get enough of them.
I started with an old gameconsole (Pong), Followed by Atari 600XL and 5 c64's (4 where fried by experimenting with electronics
).
Still have a C64 and it still works fine, seems to be indestructible.

Can you guess how old I am?
I'll give you a hint!
It starts with f and ends with n
I'm not 57.
........I'm 15 *feels so young* I can't wait for senility!
My previous guild leader was a 30+woman with kids!!!
And Angelica you were there! So many cool old people.

This is not GW community, this is GW guru community which is quite different.
I wonder how... could it be that older ppl use more forums ?
or is it the other way around ?

Kiddies won't be using forums and i've seen quite the number, it's all about hack n slash.

Well, I'm happy to see most people that voted were over 18.
At least here on GWG we have a mature community.

but seriously more than half of the respondants to this poll are over the age of 21....while more than a quarter of the poll are over 30! Good news for the 'more mature' crowd

Turned 18 in January. Only played Guild Wars for about 3 weeks though. 
Whammos are boring I guess. 
Because most 13 year olds come from World of Warcraft or Runescape, so people usually see these players run into a group of enemies, snag a decent train of them, and curse out the Monk because 'u dint hela mi fast enuf' when they get wiped... But atleast your not looked down upon with disdain like the Mesmer/Ritualist/Paragon classes.

Ah... now I understand why there are so many immature players in-game.
Majority group is 14-17 year old... that scares me. I wish the majority group was one containing people 18 or older, under that age lots of them tend to ruin the game experience.

I thought I have voted on this kind of poll before... but maybe that was on another forum..
so many young people...

I'm 13 and I don't have a problem. Really if you just play well and don't talk rude you won't have problems. Also if age is never brought up it no one seems to notice it ( I had a guild leader who thought I was 40 and was very surprised when I told him I was 13 and nobody cared because I did my part).

15, Turning 16 in september(Yay! Job!), though most people I run into in Guild Wars or other online games seem to think I'm 18-25.

Im 38 and I look forward to new GW chapters more than my 6 year old son looks forward to Christmas. My 13 year old twin sons dont play video games.
Im pretty sure I voted on a poll like this one not too long ago as well.
Age does NOT equal maturity BTW. I am in a multi gaming clan of people aged 30 and up, and trust me on this one...I know some 15 year olds that are more mature and better sports than some 50 year olds I know (and yes, the 50 year old guys play GW).

I'll be 30 in Aug so I put myself down in that group... I guess I'll be good for 3 years now before I move groups again..
(which is good, this group was hard enough to admit!)

18 here. Been at university for 6 months now. Its hard to find time to play guild wars. Ive had it for little over two years now (Ahh the days when I was 16 and could spend as long as I liked on it). I can hardly find the time to play now days. How do you people who are 25+ find time to play? Even more so the ones with children?
I think its great though. Coming from games like Ragnarok Its nice to finally not have to play with kids. While most of you don't know it you little dudes get really annoying very quickly.

Seeing how there's so many people over 40, the poll should have extended to 50-59 and then 60+
A century is 100 years, so that would make you 1/4 of a century. That's your lesson for today, school's out, you can go back to your game.
I just turned 52. The best thing about 2nd childhood? You can buy your own toys.
LOL That's the year I graduated high school.
