Considering multiple people have reported in higher than that, nope.

I tend to let people decide my personal details for me. Age, sex, location, orientation, hobbies, color of undergarments, it's just more fun that way.

I barely escaped Tman's group. Sorry 'bout that!

[Kruthal_Dexlar]

I'm sorry but that information is classified by PPA (Pilot Protection Act) which was put in place by Prosk command to help conceal the identity of some of their more... "specialized" pilots.




I'm 20.

Whoa... I did not expect to be in the largest age group. Guess I don't have to feel like quite such a huge manchild still playing video games haha

[DaPheel]

Manchildren f.t.w. I'm 30 and i still have to go "dumf dumf dumf" with every footstep when i take a pee break.

These agre groupings are terrible.

This is better:
>0-15
>16-19
>20-24
>25-30
>31-40
>41+

Thanks for your subtle criticism.

Wow... 56 here, 57 in Aug 2013! Hey, I don't need a wheelchair to get around the golf course! What the... I am deeply offended! LOL
Majic12, go sit in the corner for a time out! Boy, if I ever see you on the battlefield, it's trash can making time! JK

(So check back from a few weeks. See that I'm still the youngest. Wait for another month to pass)

[YellerBill]

17 here, glad to see I'm not the youngest, but not really surprised. Surprised by some of the oldest players though, neat to see Hawken's not just popular with one age group.

[GunnRdog]

I think the age brackets should go higher. Are there any players over 40_, 50_ or even 60_

Strictly speaking, this isn't much better.  I know HUGS suggested even breaks between the value ranges, but to get meaningful aggregate demographics, you have to determine what question you are asking first.  For instance, if we wanted an idea of how much entertainment spending might be captured from our player base, we might actually break up the groups as:
< 25
25 - 34
35 - 54
55 - 65

This is because we know from previous marketing and economic studies in the US that the < 25 group historically spends the smallest amount of money on entertainment, while the 35 - 54 group historically spends the largest amount of money (2x any other group) on entertainment.

From a different perspective, if you wanted to find out what activities the game is competing with in terms of time, we might break up the groups as:
< 18
18 - 22
23 - 26
27 - 45
> 45

These age ranges reflect the (very generic) life stages of pre-adult, college/professional training, young professional, parenthood/professional, and post-parenthood/mature professional.  Depending on which life stage your player base exists within, you can get a decent idea of what other products and services you are competing with for their time.

More often than not, the only reason to ever get evenly-spaced age demographics is for academic purposes or when you know absolutely nothing about your population.
