So... I'm sure this has been done before but I have always been curious, how old is everyone I'm pretty sure what the results will be, but I'm wondering... when did we all start? did we start at around the same age and now we have grown up? or does the game just attract a certain age group? Will the average age of SC players stay the same or grow with us all? Imagine, 10 years down the road and if we're still playing sc1 would the average age be 18-20 or 28-30??

I am 24. I started playing this game "seriously" when I was 17. Quit a couple years ago, and am just now taking some tentative steps back into it.
PS. I am interested in practice partners. At my peak, I used to be about C+ level on PGT. I game around afternoon and evenings on American pacific time. nA.Inky on west. I play T.

I know, right? When the fuck did that happend?
|
23 now, I guess I was 13 when I started playing it, too 10 years...
|
I was 8 when I first started playing.
I'm now 18.. sadly I wasted those 10 years and didn't take SC seriously. I only started taking it seriously about a year ago.
|
23 in a month (exactly actually, haha) and i started at 13. jeeeeeeeez
|
I'm 20 and have been playing for about 6-7 years, I don't know exactly when I started but I remember I first got on bnet, it was some weeks before replays where released along with a patch(1.08?), I distinctly remember saying to myself "wtf, that button wasn't there before(save replay)"

this is more like average TL age, which is considerably higher than average SC age
|
ah well... isn't that all that matters?

Started at uh 12-13. I guess BW at 13, and a bit of vanilla at 12? Played the game when it was brand new tho! But not online.

19
Started the day starcraft came out. Then quit forever
Then came back a year ago to be the worst BW player of all time! hooray for me!
|
lol I wanna be 13 again with my current skills and knowledge, I wonder if I'd make it as a pro back then
|
24. Started when it came out, played casually ever since. My buddy and I used to think we were awesome 2v2 on Legacy of Char since we muta rushed every game.

You began playing starcraft when you were 9? Oh well.
I started when it came out (a friend was a betatester), switching from the occasional play of WC2 on LAN.
So.. began at 19. Now almost older than dirt. Haven't played much in the last 5 years, I also switched and played CS competitively for a few years.

Yeah, I was 9. I was really into computer games, and I was playing on my IBM aptiva with its trusty 4GB hard drive and 14 inch screen. Good times.

not to mention.... 28.8 kbps dialup connection to b.net or even dialing into a friends phone(direct connect)?? lol! I'd agree, good times... I too started when I was 10 and have bought the game 3 times since then. the first two times i had to throw it away because uninstalling it wasn't cutting it... too addicted, now i finally have the beast under control ;D

How did you guys who started that early get into contact with broodwar. It isn't really the type of game you nag your parents about to get at that age I'd wager?
