In all the time I've played, I've never actually managed to ever be logged in when this has happened. Nifty!

There should be a <birthday> command so others can see whose birthday is today. Have it output like the <who> verb.

Well, I was sure 30 was the end of the world, but I was wrong, turns out it isn't bad after a while; and I was also sure 40 was going to be the worst thing evar, but I was wrong, turns out isn't that bad.

But 50? I'm going to slice my wrinkly face off at 50 - and throw the quivering bloody pieces at a 40 year old.

I was always curious on what demographics were playing this game. I kind of figured a lot of late 20's to early 40's people that have been playing for many years. I'm 33 myself and been playing on and off since I was 16 or 17 I think. Makes me think back to where my original Paladin Druiden on AOL would be if I had stuck to one character for that whole time hah.

I recently turned 30 (cry), and started playing back in AOL days when I was maybe 13 or so? I've definitely been on and off over the ages, getting more into things about 7ish years ago when I started working in academia where the internet is as unmonitored as your worktime/scheduling.

I wonder about the demographics too, but would estimate the age range to be late 30's to late 50's?

Chiming in for demographics musing. 29 years old, also started playing in '96 when I was what ... 11? And I also wonder where my first character, Lanox, would be if I had been around that whole time.

I am 32. I first played DragonRealms when it was free to AOL subscribers, probably not much before December 1996 when AOL began offering flat monthly rates (as opposed to hourly rates). I wasn't playing during the Web migration in mid-1997, so I would have been 15 at the time. My original character was a Paladin, because it was (and still is) my favorite class to play. I had a Crossing two-handed sword, which I thought was awesome at the time, and hunted musk hogs.

I rolled Isharon, an Elven Paladin, in December 2004 and have been playing continually since then.
