Interesting thread, and good to see so many older people playing this, and other games.
As for myself, I am a 66 year old Englishman, I have played computer games since the first computers came out in the public domain. I'm retired and an avid MMO gamer. I have a 50 BH on Frostclaw European server as well as several alts, but am quite willing to roll a Republic character for the very first time.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
