Good evening,
While I tend to believe that the average age in EU is alot higher than for any other game, I also seem to have noticed a sudden rise in the amount of underaged participants.
While kids are cute with their diapers and all, I tend to believe it does a disservice to community at large. While there are plenty of exceptions, children are impulsive and lack self awareness and the ability to think critically.
Mind you, most of the people popping in thinking they can get rich over night that I've talked to, are 15-16 years of age.
Imagine a hypothetical scenario where the age limit was raised to 18, 21, or even 25. How do you think the game would change?
Please consider this a thought experiment and not a suggestion.
Edit: What I'm trying to achieve is a discussion about age, and how limiting the age spans in game would affect it. Feel free to suggest any age span and discuss it. I am not claiming older players necessarily behave in a mature way, just look at me for instance.
Some points to discuss could be impact on PR, in game economy, MAs economy, in world experience, what direction the game would move, etc.
