What is the average age on this instance? Maybe I was too old already when Minecraft came out, but I thought it was a game for 10 year olds.
44 and I play with my 9 year old ๐ซก
Hi5! I'm 45 and I have played MC from the beginning, still play it more than any other game. Now my little kids play it with me and it's their favorite too.
Well there's room on our server! We're friendly ;)
I'll probably hop on when I'm feeling froggy
So around 27 ๐คฃ
Me and my army buddies all discovered the alpha version of Minecraft in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan. One of our Intel guys brought it back on an external drive from R&R and we all installed it on our laptops. Soon, the entire camp was playing it when off shift, including old, crusty infantry platoon sergeants. It's an ageless, timeless kind of game. Like someone else said, it's like building stuff with Legos.
I got Minecraft when it was still in beta, for exactly that reason. I was in college, I had some free time, and I liked messing around with the demo - it reminded me of all of the fun I had playing with Legos as a kid. I think it cost me maybe $15?
Now, a decade later, I still play it fairly often, and given all of the content that's come out since then, it might be the most worthwhile $15 I've ever spent.
I'm 40. Minecraft is so good. I play harbored games mostly like Elite Dangerous and a ton of RTS or FPS games. Minecraft is different but it's magic.
I'm 50. But my kids of 9 and 10 are also on the server.
If it was a game for 10 years old, and it's been 10 years from release, then we get 20 years olds :) Also its like Lego, anyone can enjoy it
You're never too old to start enjoying things. It's nice to escape from being an adult for a while and just have fun.
I see old people on the minecraft server but young ones too :) You are welcome ;)
Damn, I feel like a child, being 18 and all, so many 40+ people here haha
Not until PewDiePie showed it to them ๐
