[QUOTE="DarrenGMiller, post: 2061875, member: 23174"] I have seen a large number of respondants mention gaming experience as a major determining factor. I agree. Since this also comes with age, there could be some correlation there. My younger players were not full of "the excitement of discovery." They seemed to be pretty jaded for people who have been gaming less than 5 years. Here are the gaming experiences of my recent group: 1. (me - 34) gaming since '82 - went straight from 1E to 3.x with no 2E, almost no CRPG's 2. (35) started gaming through Storyteller (WW) games and then came over to 2E, now 3.x, lots of EQ experience 3. (30) started late in the 1E days and played some Vampire (including LARP) and went through 2E to 3.x, lots of CRPG exposure 4. (38) started in 1E and came through 2E to 3.x with lots of CRPG exposure - That is our 30+ club - now for the younger crowd: 5. (24) started in 2E in early 90's and switched to 3.x but still plays some 2E, almost no CRPG's 6. (19)started in 2E right before 3E was released and switched over to 3.x, lots of CRPG exposure 7, 8, 9 (17, 18, 18)- began with 3.x, little CRPG exposure Thanks for your replies! DM [/QUOTE]
