How old are you guys? and for how long have you been playing this game??
Is there any limit for how old u can be playing computergames?

??? U must be from another country. There are no limits on age for playing computer games. If ur young u just need your rents to help you out getting the subscription. As for how long ive been playing this game even if I had the game it would only be 4 months or so b/c the game is brand new. And for my age im 20.
PS just incase u ARE from another country or something theres no limit on how old u can be. (a 200 year old man can play)

Me, I'm 16, I have been playing games seiously since I was about 10 when I first got Half-life and tribes, until then I was just playing quake and red alert over lans with friends. Tribes was fun, I learned how to make mods, and was on the dev team for a couple.
I first heard about Planetside around the same time tribes 2 was announced, however, it seems like planetside took a little longer... ;)
Anyway, There seems to be a growing group of older people I meet who play and have played and just got... older.
Some people I know have children older than me.
At my office we play Rogue spear over our lan. Average age is 7+ years older than me. :p

I'm 28. I've had PS for 4 weeks. I play about 8-10 hours per week. All you need when you are older to play is a spouse/significant other who will let you play. ;)

im 15, and have been playing online games since i was about 12. I pretty much own Counter-Strike, been playing for 2.5 years. I'e been playing PS for about a month, but with school coming and football practice, its gonna be a long winter. BTW ThEOnLyOnE, you can play halo online. It's fun, but ridicuosly hard.

I am 31 and have been playing PS since the game was released. I don't know what country you are from, but there are no age limits to use computers in the US. Tell us what country does have age limits for using computers (online gaming). I am curious.

16. Exclusive beta. I've been gaming since before I can remember thanks to my older brother. Together, we've owned almost all of the gaming system that have come out in the past 10 years at some point or another. Eventually, I plan to get him into Planetside, but his computer would need a lot of changes.

Err I don't think he lives in a country where u can't play PC Games , I just think English isn't his 1st language, (check the grammer) Ain't having a go at u by the way, You speak English better than I can speak any other language.
(I hope English isn't your 1st language or im gonna look stupid)
I'm 17 by the way.

20 and i think the grammar is the thing too. Or maybe he was asking about the rating system we have in U.S.A. Supposedly its enforced so you have to have parent permission for stuff.

I'm 22 and I've been playing PS since the start of open Beta. Been playing video games since I first played this kick ass game on Colecovision back when I was about three or four years old. I think it was called Avenger but I could very well be wrong.
*Edit*
Thank you Google! Not only did I find out the real name of it (Voyager, not Avenger) I actually found some Colecovision emulators lol

I'm 27. First video game I ever played AT HOME was Pitfall Harry on my brother's ATARI 2600. I was like 9.
I also used to blow lots of cash at arcades. I remember when Spy Hunter came out. And Dragons Layer.
Never played online FPS's untill about 4 years ago when I got BroadBand. I was finally able to play Counter-Strike and compete equally. I quit playing CS 6 months ago for DOD. Now it looks like PS will be my game of choice.

Well.... I sure hope that there's no age limit to gaming in tis country...
I'm 19 myself, and I think I'm addicted to gaming! I just thought that playing computergames only was a kid thing... but seems like every age is playing PS (and other games)
I just felt ashamed playing.... or something?!:confused: ouchhh my head hurts! I guess I gotta stop tinking and play some more games...
