il preface this by saying this isnt a troll post, just had a birthday “mid 30s” and its like i have suddenly noticed everyone is younger than me. WoW has always been my love my past time, its been there during dark days and happy times and now im struggling to find enjoyment playing it because of this sudden feeling of im too old to be playing this now.
i login play for about a hour feel like i shouldnt be on anymore and come off. im a introvert with huge social anxiety, gaming and online friends is my main way to be social now it feels like i cant anymore, i havnt raided with my guild in about a month not been in a vc just isolated myself completely.
Game is 20 years old and the average age of wow player these days were +35 if I remember right so I would say you fit on the average age. Many who started in vanil are almost 40 by now me aswell.
Your not too old friend… Literally almost everyone I know are in their 30’s too.
My best friend in the game is in his 40’s heck one of our MVP’s here on the forums? Ananda? The Draenei is known for being everyone’s grandma. (No offense Ana<.<)
From scrolling my guild chat in recent weeks, I’d even flip it the other way around: those in their late teens and early twenties feel like the rarer ones!
Honestly I’m not sure how can we help you with this. You’re certainly not too old to enjoy the hobby. I’m basically the youngest wow player I know of that still plays. Should I in that case feel like I’m too young to be here? Because I do not feel that. It’s a game and a place for everyone. I hope you can find people that make you feel comfortable here on azeroth or whatever game you choose to spend your time on.
Oldest peeps in my guild are 60-70, youngest are teens. Most are around 30-40 I would say. There’s no age for gaming but I mean I get if you feel like the game itself doesn’t resonate with you anymore, now thats a separate unrelated to age.
