killer2 Posted February 19, 2013 16...almost 17. Although for some reason I feel much more tired and sad than people my age. I can't seem to understand most people my age either. 0 Share this post Link to post

soner du Posted February 19, 2013 40 I still remember waiting for Doom in 1993, when I was already a Wolf3D fan... 0 Share this post Link to post
BoldEnglishman Posted February 20, 2013 I'm currently 21 and will be turning 22 in March. I'm honestly quite surprised that I'm younger than the average age here... 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh, as a teenager, I can say I also have a hard time understanding other people (I'm 17). However, this is a time when a lot is being thrown in our faces: college, concern over getting good grades, what you want to do later in life, etc. It's ok if people are stressed about stuff like that since it's a big deal. :) It's just good not to let it get to extremes. I find myself much happier looking into the future with hope. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

EvilNed Posted April 9, 2013 I thought to myself, "How old are most people around here?". How old is the average "Doomer" today. The game itself is soon 20 years old, so I figured there's probably not a lot of younger people around. Somehow, I figured that the dooming community was sort of like mankind in Children of Men... We don't have any younglings around here, and so maybe we'll be gone in 10-20 years... Or? A quick search and I found this thread: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-general/10591-age-of-people-playing-doom-these-days/ Where a lot of people seem to be inbetween 15-20 years old. But that thread is ten years old! So my question to you... How old are we? The players of Doom. Myself, I'm 25, going on 26. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted April 9, 2013 There is always a fresh stream of young players mostly due to online multiplayer ports and extreme modding. Perhaps what is being slowly lost is the appreciation for classic vanilla gaming. 1 Share this post Link to post
bcwood16 Posted April 9, 2013 Me im 30, love Doom always will!! However, did we not just have a thread like this about a month ago as I remember posting in to say it was my birthday, and that was in February. From what I remember I was quite surprised how young many of our members are! Which is a really good thing to know. Doom is obviously much better then most of the 'modern FPS' crap lol - sweet EDIT : Eris Falling posted while I was writing my post out, but yea thats the thread I was thinking about :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Suitepee Posted April 9, 2013 I'm 27 here, but I've only just started getting into playing Doom wads in their entirety recently with my branching interest into doing LP's. That being said, I've played a fair bit of online doom via ZDaemon in the past few years (although I've lost touch with playing it in the last few months) and always revisit Doom regularly in some capacity. Heck, at one point years back I used to try and find good wads among my old 'Maximum Doom' disc.... 0 Share this post Link to post
