How old were you when you started playing online games?


 


I'm just wondering what the general age range of TOTALLY new players is to games in general. I think I was about 11.

I think I was 11 when I started playing HL? I played the Petz games but wanted something with horses, so I searched "horse games" and found HL and the first RP that I ever joined that way. :D Then I played on/off until I was 18.

(I was 20 when I started playing HP, haha!)

Since I'm in the younger spectrum, I was 6 or 7.

I started playing HL when I was around 13-14.  I remember getting yelled out for being online on HL too much and my dad had important calls to make/receive.  Oh the joys of dial up!  I didn't start playing HP until I was 22, and I really wish I would have found it sooner!

I started playing HL in 4th grade, I believe [whatever age that was]. I distintly remembering getting on there in 5th grade computer lab and everyone in my class got on there too and I was super rich in comparison and people were asking me how to play. It was when you could write the breed [breed could be changed until they turned 4 I believe.] and people were freaking out because you could breed anything to anything. ahaha That was short lived and I'm glad people don't remember it now. haha

I think I started hp when I was 18...

I think I was around 9 or 10 when I began playing HL, and I booped around to various games since then.

I was 11 - Neopets were recommended by American relatives, and I found horseland with a friend when we were searching for a horsey alternative to Neopets. That was years and years ago now!!

I think I started playing online games when I was... ten or eleven? I wasn't allowed online much before that because we had AOL and my parents limited how much time I could spend online so they didn't miss calls. I've been gaming in general since I was about six, though. xD

I was actually on HP years and years ago (okay, like three?) But I probably wasn't very nice given my fifteen-year-old self, so I pretty much pretend that didn't happen. xD I rejoined at 18, though, because I've been coming back to horse sim sites off and on for nearly ten years, and HP left a good impression. ^^
