Honestly, I was really excited about the mature game and I was hoping for a mature community.  However, from the looks of it, it seems we're getting a bunch of WoW noobs also.  And when I say WoW noobs, this usually pertains to people from ages of 12-23 who have only played WoW for their MMO and are extremely immature.

I have a group of WoW noobs as friends in real life, and half of their WoW guild is going to be playing Age of Conan, which is very disappointing.  They love to talk about how much they 0wnz0rz in WoW arena and how they're going to 0wnz0rZ in AoC also.  I wish I could have showed them Guild Wars pre-expansions PvP so they wouldn't think they were so tough.  

Anyways,  I would much rather have a lower population with mature people than a high population full of idiots, and it kind of seems like that won't be the case in AoC.

Like others have stated, the whole rating system is a joke. Whether it be movies, games, or music, Hardly no one inforces it. How many times have you been to a R rated movie, and a ton of teenagers are there?

The only thing that really stops minors from playing AoC is the credit card, but most parents will just use their cards for it.  People think just because the game has a M rating is going to stop minors from playing are fooling themselves.

I didnt think it would totally stop teens from playing Age of Conan. What I assumed though was that it would at least keep a majority away, thus giving us a mature community.

From the poll and posters, it seems like it will the complete opposite community I was hoping for. I know these polls arent totally accurate but still, 73% or more will be age 13-23 yikes

It would be interesting to see another poll asking the players their age.

...followed by Funcom booting their account for being underaged. The rating is there for a reason

wouldnt it be nice if someone actually did enforce something for a change ?

Reminds me of smoking law. You need to be 18 to smoke, yet I see kids lighting up right in front of cops and they do nothing.

Considering the apparent demand from the teens though, I cant see Funcom doing a dam thing to enforce the M rating.

look at this link, it will give you an idea of the kind of community we're getting.

bumping for more votes. My goal is an even 100, so 19 more to go

11 more votes till 100 bump

Maturity is not always determined by age.

Anyways. To answer the the qeustion. I definitely think there majority of players will be at least 18.

Simply because anyone below that age wouldn't have the required system to play the game. Heavy system requirements will prevent many little kiddies from playing this game. Its not the age restriction wich is useless as evident by Grand Theft Auto series.

but generally yes it is.

Take a look at my post asking about how the roleplaying server is doing. Majority of the gamers are playing naked avatar women and ganking everyone. Wanna guess what age they are ?
