i imagine quake has one the highest age averages in the gaming communitiy. lack of newcomers coupled with possibly the longest running multiplayer game series being the main reasons. once you're hooked it's for life.

Make a better poll, more specific.

There is a substantial group of 40 and 50 plussers as well.

I'm 28, and grew up on doom and quake.

most ppl here should still be old enough to have experienced playing outside, not like todays kids. No white kids outside playing where i live, only immigrant children, the "rich" white middle class(i see those 1st graders 7-10y carry mobile smartphones) is just walking home from school looking at their phones(srsly) and prob. going home to sit in front of the computer/tv/console.

I missed playing computer as a kid, my friends had computers and snes' eventually playstation when that came out, but i didn't have any of those which i'm grateful of today, or maybe not, as it caputered me even harder when i finally got the means to get video games myself.

I used to fall out of at least one tree or off of one roof every day.

That was some of the most fun I've ever had. Now, when I climb trees and hang out on roofs, I feel like a creep.

So we can conclude that most of the Quake players are in an age demographic where buying premium is not an issue?

Yes regarding this poll the most part of people would be able to buy pro or atleast premium. Anyway this just shows ESR stats. I personally know some players which are 10-12 yo.

Those would be other results. I see most of ESR complaining about premium, but I guess they just don't want to pay for a worldwide service that distributes patches and updates centrally as well as hosts servers. I could understand they want private servers, but there has to be a consensus with centralized updates and keeping servers updated.

It's what kinda killed a mod that I loved to play for Quake 2 called DDay. Mappers were creating and releasing maps to test. Several devs were trying out new game DLL's and before you knew it every server was different and you couldn't connect because they were running an outdated version of a map they weren't supposed to be putting on their servers in the first place. It tends to be a mess. Even now where I consider my DDay folder to be fairly complete I'm still missing textures and bump into "this map version differs" errors when connecting to a server, and there's only 5 left.

28 here, started multiplayer with q2 <3 in '97 I think, and moved to q3 (q3test) in '99 - '00. Before q2 it was DukeNukem, Doom II and a bit of Q1 sp. So I've been playing quake for more than half of my life :)), but I was never that good to break through.

I'm 33 - was very active in the UK QW scene in the late 90s until 99 when I went to university. after 4 years at uni I was too busy with girls, cars and mountain bikes to give much of a shit about quake. got back into it with QL a few years ago but only play a bit. Still follow the tourneys etc though.

From the pool results: 13-18 is 7%, 13-16 would be about 4%. For that 4% id decided to force this game into teen (13+) rating instead of mature (17+).

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.jsp
btw. just noticed that even the TEEN rating allows "minimal blood".

There's a lot of teens playing Quake Live. Barely any know of ESR's existence and the ones that do stay away for obvious reasons. Posting the poll on ESR is going to give you the most biased results possible.

Besides, the T rating was not to open the game to teens (who would have played anyways, clicking "yes I'm over 18" isn't hard). It's to make the title more sport-like and to allow TV broadcasting (yes, there was a program on Eurosport with a QL episode) and perhaps most of all, advertising. QL initially was supposed to live on ads alone.

Played the single player adventures many times back then, but never got triggered to play online.
Should've made a savegame in my life back then... Now I cannot start anew...
Would've also saved me a lot of money drinking beer 'n stuff...
