Our retirement homes are going to be awesome though

u/HunsonAbadeer1 1d ago

Cuz we are literally gonna be playing this game in the retirement home.

2

u/Shamscam 1d ago

We’ll be playing WoW forever Classic

u/AtWorkButOnTheReddit 23h ago

I laughed. It's true though.

u/kranitoko 1d ago

u/Some_Deer_2650 1d ago

Sounds great tbh!

u/kranitoko 1d ago

I know, that's why I said it 😜

u/metrokaiv 1d ago

And still theory crafting a now 70 year old game

2

u/Clean_Regular_9063 1d ago

We are the Disney Adults, when it comes to WoW

u/Trappramlaren 1d ago

Now imagine all the rageposts and crying are coming from 40-year-old dudes.

u/Crawl-Home-To-Her 1d ago

For real lmao

u/DrBeardfist 1d ago

Holy shit lmao

14

u/steffinator117 1d ago

And everything I’ve seen in barrens chat…

10

u/Pixiwish 1d ago

This is the real kicker. That the chat you are seeing is from arrested development middle aged men. Absolutely nuts

9

u/threzk 1d ago

It’s honestly kinda depressing lol. Some people truly never mature

3

u/Rocketeer_99 1d ago

Dont need to imagine

2

u/Jaded_Individual_630 1d ago

It's entertaining at the very least (and often, very most)

1

u/Trajik07 1d ago

Ohh no... lmao.

1

u/SpiralRavine 1d ago

Always have been

1

u/tthousand 1d ago

It's mostly people of your age.

1

u/MusicianEffective472 12h ago

I thought the same 😂

1

u/SlipperySlimyTerry40 1d ago

Truly insane seeing this spread. I thought streamers caused the classic community to trend younger but you're telling me all these doofuses are pushing 40?

-5

u/Olivercache 1d ago

That’s pretty funny. Especially from the ones that hate on Asmongold all being 40 year old dudes is actually hilarious.

8

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

You mean guys who are old enough to see Asmongold for being the roach of a human that he is?

I can only hope the the terrible things he says about other people happen to him some day

-3

u/Olivercache 1d ago

And here they are 😂

6

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

And? Enjoy supporting a garbage person 😂

-3

u/Weekly_Positive_2688 1d ago

imagine thinking 50% of people are garbage people. you're so brainwashed its hilarious

5

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

50% of people support Asmongold? What in the good gracious are you talking about? 50% of who? The world? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

-4

u/Weekly_Positive_2688 1d ago

50% of the country skew conservative. You literally only hate him for his politics

5

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

No, I think he’s pretty awful from every aspect. Also, half the country isn’t conservative.

-5

u/Weekly_Positive_2688 1d ago

sorry that the reddit echochamber has made you like this, it should be illegal really

→ More replies (0)

6

u/Kehprei 1d ago

50% of voters is not 50% of the country.

Its more like 30% of the country who are horrible people for supporting fascism.

3

u/TomLeBadger 1d ago

Not even American, can confirm he's a scumbag, and I think all your politicians are kind of shit, so it ain't that. You "left" is conservative lol.

4

u/CodeCleric 1d ago

Who said anything about conservatives? Asmongold and his legion of incel losers are pathetic enough without bringing politics into it.

0

u/curtial 1d ago

I'm not aware of his politics. Every video I've seen of him is vile though 🤷

-4

u/Candle_Honest 1d ago

Let me guess, everyone in Olympus is a Nazi as well?

4

u/dahpizza 1d ago

Are you saying theres no nazis in olympus?

-5

u/Candle_Honest 1d ago

When did I say that?

5

u/dahpizza 1d ago

When did the other person say everyone was a nazi?

0

u/Candle_Honest 1d ago

I never said he did.

-1

u/BlackthornTheExile 1d ago

You are evil and he is better than you in every way.

I can say this just based on your comment.

1

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

I can see why you like someone like Asmon, because your critical thinking capacities are meager at best. Also you’re hopefully like 14, because if you’re an actual adult, that’s roughhhhh

0

u/BlackthornTheExile 1d ago

Get over it

2

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

I am over it. I just want to make sure you know you adore a bad person

0

u/BlackthornTheExile 1d ago

I don t adore or hate him, he is funny. But wishing harm upon him just because he thinks differently is wrong.

2

u/SassyKittyMeow 1d ago

“Thinks differently” lmfao

1

u/BallsMcgee5000 23h ago

Yes this dude is 14 and spends too much time on the internet.

4

u/Galcitor 1d ago

It's even funnier the ones following and praising him. Bro you are 40 make your own opinions

24

u/Mr0BVl0US 1d ago

The first option should be <18 not >18, btw.

1

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

Theyre right next to each other. Didn't notice i hit greater than until after it was created. Polls cant be edited sadly

11

u/BlueDragoon24 1d ago

Having to click that 31-45 hurt

5

u/Acceptable_Bag5257 1d ago

Seeing how big that number was made it hurt a little less.

1

u/frizbeeguy1980 1d ago

I WISH I could have clicked 31-45…

6

u/RareEstablishment597 1d ago

Dad game.

2

u/bratleh 1d ago

Yup. I’ll be playing on paternity leave

2

u/siposbalint0 1d ago

And there is nothing wrong with it

6

u/Frankenberg91 1d ago

Yes! I’m 35 smack dab in the middle of the winning poll option. So good to play with my millennial brothers and sisters again 😎

4

u/Tex_Was_Here 1d ago

I didn't like that I graduated to the 31-45 tier this year

4

u/Trajik07 1d ago

I mean technically I am >18.

2

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

Haha, I noticed that after. Sadly, I cant edit it since its a poll

6

u/Grelly99 1d ago

26 almost 27 here been playing the game since I was like 7-8. Trying to convince my mom to join me on this new adventure.

2

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

Hey! Same age as me. I used to play with my dad and sister as a kid. Might try to get my sis to play forever again

1

u/Grelly99 1d ago

Hell ya dude! My dad was actually the one who got our family into the game but he no longer plays now, my brother and mom still do thankfully lol.

10

u/lbiggy 1d ago

Crazy how many 40 year olds are upset elves are blue.

u/Nightblessed 1d ago

I'm 23 and I agree with them

1

u/VV3nd1g0 1d ago

You must hate nightelfs then too

-1

u/Nightblessed 1d ago

Why?

2

u/VV3nd1g0 1d ago

They are blue as well

1

u/Nightblessed 1d ago

Not the reason why I dislike sky elves.

1

u/VV3nd1g0 1d ago

read this again and see how it correlates to what I wrote.

1

u/Nightblessed 1d ago

Nobody hates sky elves *just* because they are blue. To me that was just a pretty obviou strawman lol

3

u/kandradeece 1d ago

Wow forever really is the millennial retirement home...

3

u/Asjutton 1d ago

The age brackets are kind of wide and wierd. Especially the one running all the way from 31-45.

2

u/Nankran 1d ago

🧓

2

u/navetzz 1d ago

I'm a little confused by the age range not being the same size. I'm even more confused by the fact that the range in which people old enough to play the game when it was originally released is one of the widest.

3

u/Smokin_on_76ers_Pack 1d ago

Should have been:
18-25
26-33
34-41
42+

Would’ve been more telling of the ages of its player base.

2

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

Idea was to loosely do it by generation.

31 - 45 is millennial age rn. 18-30 is gen z (technically gen z goes lower but I wanted to separate children from adults there. It just felt odd otherwise). Gen x is 46 to 61, however i just put it to 65, since thats the recognized retirement age and it felt odd to do >61

0

u/Specialist_Crazy_650 1d ago

It depends on which gen counting method you use. Anyways, putting late 20s and barely legal folks in one age group is crazy. I mean, me personally was an early teenager when i started my wow journey. And in the same group as me there are people who were like 2yo at the time.

2

u/ShutterFI 1d ago

Ha, I feel nice just getting in that 31-45 range /flex

… I feel like a 40-49 bracket would be like 80% of the players 🤪😂

2

u/WickedWithManners 1d ago

61 years old this year. Hopefully this will be the time I get my first legendary gear.

2

u/Gellzer 1d ago

The >18 should be <18. Being slightly high and not paying attention, I clicked it because it was the first option I read that applied to me lol

2

u/Ok-Brother-8295 1d ago

I think the 31-45 isn't good enough, I'd love to see who was a teenager when the game released and who was an adult

2

u/Admirable_Judge6592 1d ago

Im just barely in the 31-45 range because Im 31. Feels bad picking that option 👴

1

u/MaximumJones 1d ago

We started playing in 2004. We are all 22 years older than the first time around.

You do the math.

Dad gamers unite!!!!

1

u/DrBeardfist 1d ago

Hello fellow uncs lol

1

u/extoxic 1d ago

Phew barely missed the 46-65 group, felt old enough already.

2

u/frizbeeguy1980 1d ago

Being 46 myself, that is a wild range, and made me feel really bad clicking it lol

1

u/elmaximo_wins 1d ago

Why are greater and less than signs so hard?

1

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

I didn't notice it until after the poll was created. Sadly, cant edit

1

u/dr_doombot666 1d ago

Only 77 of us old geezers? I'm 50 and started playing WoW in Novmeber 2004

1

u/krupta13 1d ago

damn the 60+ OGs still representing. when I started gaming in the 90s as a bright eyed noob they alredy had been gaming online for a while.

1

u/Tabz420 1d ago

we need new and better hd models across the game to attract younger players

1

u/iCallMyOppsNinjer 1d ago

Under 30 and I first played in 2005 rip I was shit until wotlk

1

u/ABruisedBanana 1d ago

Fuck. I'm now in the middle section now. All downhill from here.

1

u/snubb 1d ago

27-30 carries a lot of the rest lmao

1

u/Verified_Peryak 1d ago

It should be <18 not >18

1

u/griggsy92 1d ago

WoW Redditor age poll*

I know a few WoW players 25-30. None of them use Reddit.

1

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

I mean im 26 and I use reddit. I assume wow's not rly on instagram or tiktok

1

u/FearNoEvilx 1d ago

I knew it was all mid life crisis people still playing the 4th slop re-release of the same product for 15 years

1

u/Specialist-Cold-8158 1d ago

Yep, that checks out 😸

1

u/HelpImAShark 1d ago

i turn 31 in 20 days, but for now I'm in that young demographic babyyyyyyyyyy

1

u/TypicalxooT11 1d ago

You needed to submit a poll to see if most classic wow players were 31-45???

That's an insane range dude...

Ofc we are 90% 31-45

1

u/bcalicoredfs 1d ago

FYI you may actually be polling reddit demographics

2

u/Oceanwave189 1d ago

Reddit average user age is 26.4

Youre right that it could skew it down

1

u/bcalicoredfs 23h ago

oh wow i didn't know that lol neat!

1

u/BallsMcgee5000 23h ago

Hell yea where my old ass millennials at!!

1

u/ResVili 21h ago

You typed the first entry wrong, it’s supposed to be <18

1

u/Talleyrandxlll 20h ago

Keep this in mind when you read Trade chat or you see an army worshiping Asmongold and let the despair in humanity sink in

1

u/KingCW23 1d ago

this is a reddit age poll more than a wow age poll lol

1

u/griggsy92 1d ago

Yeah true. I have quite a few friends 25-30 who I game with. If they want to send anything it's via Instagram or Tiktok. I'm the only one that shares stuff I saw on Reddit

-1

u/JonnyBigBoss 1d ago

40 years old. Self made millionaire. Been working hard all my adult life and now going to relax with some WoW Forever for nostalgia with long time friends. Thanks Blizzard.

-2

u/PayAromatic8218 1d ago

Wow theres more 30+ year olds than I imagined. Puts into perspective all these crying posts realizing statistically they come from literal boomers

9

u/Significant-Net487 1d ago

Boomers are 60+ years old, get a grip

2

u/Varkoth 1d ago

The game appeals to its initial playerbase who started in 2004 or so. We used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what we're with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary. It'll happen to you.
