 I'm just wondering what the general age range of TOTALLY new players is to games in general. I think I was about 11. | 
|  misa・brandenburgers December 12th, 2013 8:34:52pm 213 Posts | 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!) |

 I joined neopets when I was like 11 or so |

|  misa・brandenburgers December 12th, 2013 9:47:02pm 213 Posts | omg Den, I remember them, I downloaded them too! They were so strange looking, and their sound files were just snorts, squeals, and VERRRYYY high-pitched neighing, hahaha~ |

|  tronic ϟ love me back to life ♥ December 13th, 2013 5:11:04pm 4,524 Posts | 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!  |

|  roooooo ♥ December 14th, 2013 2:06:49pm 1,094 Posts | 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...    | 
|  Riddle ;; isn't it beautiful the way we fall apart. December 14th, 2013 2:46:09pm 85 Posts | I think about 11 when I started HL. I'm 26 now. XD | 
|  Z.exious December 15th, 2013 9:13:18pm 400 Posts | I think I was around 9 or 10 when I began playing HL, and I booped around to various games since then. | 
|  Lumos - Connemaras December 16th, 2013 8:29:39am 19 Posts | 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!! The drops of rain they fall all over... | 
|  Urox December 17th, 2013 6:27:58am 28 Posts | I started HL (my first online game, ever) when I was around 11-12. | 
|  noxhidis | foxes April 22nd, 2014 7:38:45pm 74 Posts |  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 |
