[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5659219, member: 22779"] Sure, that's true. I play with a couple of great ones. However, there is the real life issues as well. Gamers in their 30's often have kids and their free time gets eaten up by family obligations. Trying to bring in a younger gamer to your house when the game gets interrupted every few minutes by crying babies can be a problem. The older gamers possibly are a bit more understanding because they're in the same boat. And, people in their 20's often aren't at a really stable point in their lives - they don't have full time permanent jobs (often) and things like that. It's quite possible that 20ish gamer is going to have to leave fairly shortly to pursue a job or other real life issues. If you're looking to create a long term group, the age thing might be a place to start. Nothing here is saying that 20ish gamers are all a bunch of social troglodytes. That's not true. And there are lots of 30+ gamers who I certainly wouldn't want in my living room. But, you do have to start somewhere. [/QUOTE]
