CallaMAstaro Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 48 year old female here, working in IT as a contractor at a Fortune 20 over the past 13 years, minus a 1 year lay off. I loved the post about hauling 2 laptops through security. My gaming Asus laptop goes along always on road trips. I've honed my routine down to not hold up the line at TSA with all the bins I need. Back to SWTOR after a long absence, having started at launch, and finding myself kind of lost tbh. I am having to really re-learn my toons, only have one 50 I've not even started leveling yet. The friends I used to play with moved on to other things and I left too. Still a WoW player though I'm not finding much to do end game as I'm on a dead server with only a few raiding guilds and ours fell apart. Also fired up my GuildWars 2 again but never really established friendships there either so I will have to decide to put in the effort to do that - same with here. Have one WoW friend I've drug over he played a little before. One thing I've run into I love is that age doesn't seem to matter, at least with the years of friendships I've built up in WoW. Perhaps I've been fortunate to just miss most douche-baggery. Hope to build up some friendships here, this is still a great game, I'd like to see end game content, but that will have to come with time and the patience of a guild or experienced raiders that will take a nub along. I'm so not a pvp'er. I've been a stay-at-home mom for 15 years now...I'll be 50 in April. I joined SWTOR a few months after launch, but left for a while because I reached endgame & I've been too embarrassed to team up with anyone because I don't know the first thing about playing on a team. I just came back & am relearning my toons & even started a PVP toon, but I'm still on Tython with that one. I'd really like to meet someone who's really into exploring & be willing to share their gamer expertise because I don't have any. I saw the "first" Star Wars when I was 12 in the theater, & have been a lifelong fan. However, my son, who is a highly-functioning autistic, became a big Clone Wars fan & revived me just in time for SWTOR, but he's not up for a MMO like this. I'd still like to try things I haven't tried yet, like Galactic Starfighter...that looks so cool & find some more datacrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphael_diSanto Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hit the big four-oh last year, still going strong and love to game. IT professional, and there's little I find more relaxing after breaking my brain on spatial SQL all day than to log into TOR and make little pixellated guys fall over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufarax Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Every once in a while it dawns on me that I am teaming with folks that weren't even born when I bought the socks I am wearing. I know this as I often team with my three sons. As a 47 year-old professional who leads a multi-million dollar project for a large corporation, I am sure that many of my co-workers would be shocked if they knew that when I get home I log on to SWTOR and pretend that I am a Master Jedi for 2-3 hours. Not that it bothers me. It keeps me young in mind and heart. It got me to thinking, "How many others out there are like me?" I'm sure I'm not the oldest player out there. So, if you fall into the geriatric crowd within SWTOR, give a shout out with your age and profession. It will be cool to know who is out there.

Lord_Kismet Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi all, Found my post from years ago after getting a notice someone posted on this thread in my email. I am back after a 3 year break. Big improvements, tons of content to play, for just a month of sub'n! My team is back as well, loving the game again. I am 45 now and still love gaming as I have my whole life. I find being part of the story is always more fun then just watching any movie or tv show. Its time to game! - Kismet Leader, Ring of Destiny 13+ Years of Fun, Laughter and Teamwork. 42 Here, been playing games for 35+ years, wife, children, job, "The boss", etc... Been leading our guild, Ring of Destiny, for 10 years and loving it. Your not alone in your perception. I noticed the other day I have a 20 year old shirt that is older then some of the people who I work with. I remember when I was younger my father saying this to me. "i've got clothes older then you" lol! Games are a great way to stay young. Much more fun then a boring TV & watching the same old movie again. Keep on gaming & wish you the best! - Kismet Leader, Ring of Destiny http://swtor.kismetbp.com 2002-2012 - 10 years of Teamwork & Fun together!

RGrundmeyer Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm 48 years old and a huge fan of Star Wars and of SWTOR. I was around 10 years old when the 1st Star Wars movie came out, and have been a fan ever since. I'm a retired member of the 501st Legion, and like many of the other people in this thread, I too come home after work and escape into the world of Star Wars. I may be pushing 50, but I will always be a kid at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGrundmeyer Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Mid 40's married LEO who has been on the job for 18 years now. Before that I was a 19D in the US Army after I stopped going for my teacher's certification to be an academic (History was my field). Currently debating finishing that cert or getting a Paralegal degree (taking a few Paralegal classes atm). Need to do something when I retire. Not just a gaming geek also a cycling geek and my coworkers alternate busting my shoes over video games and wearing spandex when I am racing lol. I'm also a 22 year veteran of law enforcement. I'm 48 and have been playing this game since it launched. I did take about a 6 month break, but am now back to the universe I fell in love with when I was a kid. I currently play on "The Shadowlands" server and have two level 60 characters. One is a Jedi Knight and the other is a Sith Assassin. The Jedi Knight just started the Fallen Empire missions. Since I took a 6 month break, I am no longer a member of a guild. However, it would be cool to join a guild with members that are all around my age.

RGrundmeyer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We should start a guild on the "Shadowlands" server for old farts like us. Maybe call it the "40 and Over Guild" or the "Geriatric Guild".....lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
