Hey guys,I don't put up to many posts but read most of them. I will be turning 39 in a few weeks, and I was wondering, Am I too old to be playing this game? I don't seem to be getting much better. Maybe my fingers are too old to learn. Tell me what you guys think.

if you can distinguish between ground and water on the screen, and hit W for approximately the length of time you want to most of the time, then you can still play. :D

Shang, as your padawan brother I feel obligated to respond to this utterly repulsive thread.

What the hell are you thinking?

Age has no effects on game play and I don't care what other people say that is just plain ridiculious. I mean come on, you barely move your fingers an inch from one button to the next, bah it is not that. Sometimes a person needs to take a break so he/she can come back with a fresh start. Besides, you can't stop playing the game is just too much fun. I know you have fun playing. I take the attitude that everyone improves someway someshape or someform every time they get on the server. You know that is true, I know it is true now grab your saber, keep your head up and let's rock!

always your padawan brother,

Heck no! There's no age limit to this game :D, it's whether you have fun with it or not, that's what really counts :). My uncle plays this game, and he's like 38, and he's a lot cooler than my other uncles lol. :D

If you have fun playing the game then why should you stop? You don't have to be the ultimate player to enjoy it. Just as long as you do enjoy it

Now to the total opposite. I saw a 6 year old kid in an internet cafe playing W3:FT and owning his opponents :eek:

That shows us age has nothing to do with gaming ;)
