I'd be interested how old the average person is around here. I'm going to guess the median is about 27 and the mean is about 32.

My 30th was pretty great. I definitely recommend the Bulldog in Baton Rouge (or a place like it). Bring friends, drink copiously.

I did both, last August, though there was a lot more drinking than crying. Ask Nikki what went into that Birthday Cake drink. It was awesome.

I'm 28... will be 29 in July... which means I am approaching 30. 30 is on the horizon. I can spot it's skull and cross bones banner.

I'd say it'll be all down hill from there, but I mean, how much further down the hill can I get? I'd have to be SotT... and I don't anticipate becoming SotT anytime soon, 30 be damned.

What you should have said was "Dear Latrinsorm, that's not the median, you are so fucking retarded, love me." What I said was the mean.

The 33-37 category kinda surprised me, then I thought, well, how old were they when gemstone was cool? 21-26? Ahh, they were getting laid, drinking, and discovering how little they knew when they were in their teenage years. As for everyone else, we were either preteens/teens or getting families and having boring lives. I imagine that 38-44 category is filled with all the stay at home moms we have on here.

My 30th was pretty great. I definitely recommend the Bulldog in Baton Rouge (or a place like it). Bring friends, drink copiously.

I was actually a little disappointed in the Bulldog, not sure why, probably had I been 10-15 years younger, ie. your age I would have loved it. I do not live there any more, that is both a good an bad thing, but one good thing about where I live now is the abundance of English and Irish pubs, plus the weather rocks.

Oh yeah, 46, I think, yeah 46.

Also, how many active accounts are there in total? not including multi-account holders?? prime and premium??

Taernath
04-27-2013, 01:12 PM
There are about 200-300 people logged in daily, but a good portion of them are probably MAing.

I don't think there are too many sub 18 players, maybe a handful whose parents introduced them, but that's about it.
