55 or older?

52 :slight_smile: playing since 2005 .

The priest officer at my 2005 Dawning Nemesis raid guild was 68.

WoW is filled with seniors who lie about their ages to avoid drama or bias.

Not quite, still race in the 50-54 age group in triathlon. Played Wow since the original closed beta, and played on Day 1. ā€œYou are number 924 in the queue.ā€ Quit during Cataclysm, but looking forward to starting over from scratch in a completely new world.

Level 51 reporting for duty.

Think about it: this is mostly a group of people nostalgic for when we were in our 40s.

I do not fall in this topic.
But my Grandparents due.
At the age of 60 -63, The Family and I got them into playing WOW.
They had to upgrade from dial up, due to at the time thatā€™s all the needed.
When they would play, you would hear Pa, Yell across the house to Maā€¦ " I Donā€™t see youā€¦ Iā€™m next to the treeā€¦ What Tree? The big oneā€¦ I see 100 Treesā€¦ I donā€™t see youā€¦" At the time they didnā€™t know how to use the mini mapā€¦

Pa has passed now, and Ma is still kicking, and she plans to remake her NE Hunter, on the 27th

67ā€¦still playingā€¦logged on Classic last night and got my bag and quiver and gained 5 levels in 1.5 hoursā€¦how I remember those days. Enjoy wow but the bodies giving out, hands and fingers donā€™t move as well, vision going but new graphics makes it better by far, canā€™t sit for much longer than 2 hours before I have to go walking. Watch my kids play at half my age and their fingers move like lightning haha. I stick to the slower pace of professions and grinding. Unfortunately Dungeons and Raids get stressful because I canā€™t keep up and can make some peoples angry. Weā€™ll still see ya around thoughā€¦Iā€™ll be the guy running constantly into the auctioneers stage (taking a bit of a nap haha).

See? This is what I was saying. Thereā€™s no reason why we canā€™t bring Aeneda on a dungeon run and taking our time through a dungeon like it used to be. No rushing through it, no pressure, no yelling at mistakes. Just a group searching every nook and cranny of that dungeonā€¦ just like it used to be.

Listen, folks, you really need to stop making all of these great posts in this thread, because I am going to run out of upvotes!

Currently I am playing on Barov. But that will be done in just a few hours.

The plan is to create a NA guild on horde. PvE. Casual. Once enough are level 60 start doing casual raiding maybe 2 nights a week. I am thinking 7 or 8 till on Friday night or Saturday night. Or both LOL. Maybe raid Sunday after 4. All times US but not east coast (probably PST). But subject to change based on what the guild wants.
Prefer 40+ But will consider younger. Less drama.
