Some of us ARE knocking on the door of 30! Don't get used to being a young-in...it won't last and you will be forced to deal with the real world!






Some of us have knocked, openedand walked though the door.

Early 30's here.

I'm at the age where "holding your liquor" means not having to hit the bathroom after every sip...

hehe its so cool that we have such a wide age range of erm...... rangers.


I wonder if any single profession is more attractive to a certain age range. ATM the ranger community seams to specialise in 30-40 year old players

33 here...

I don't get it. I thought coffee was supposed to be good for your health? Well, supposed to have benefits, at least. As for nerves, I get jittery without it.

3 cups of coffee in the morning... many Dr. Peppers for the rest of the day. Can't stand beer. Haven't had one for over 10 years.

Your body starts to shut down at 25!

Now you're just trying to scare the kid. Or are you trying to depress the rest of us?



Just telling it like it is...anyone disagree?

I wouldn't say it starts to shutdown per se, but it does start to develop new "features" somewhere around there...and you start remembering all the things you did at 18 that you can't do now.

Oy...I was rembering what I could do in college that I can't do know when I last replied! I used to play basketball 5 times a week for 2 hours at a time. Now 1 hour games twice a week are enough to make me whine to my guildmates about how tired I am! I blame this on my 'sits at a computer all day' physique.

I happen to have a GF who is much younger then I (23) and we went to her sisters for a get together (read as: party). Little did I know I can't stay up past 11pm without paying nevermind the hangover I had the next morning. Normally I'm up at 530am sharp, that morning was about 10am.


Partying = Bad.

Thankfully the definition of 'fun' tends to change too. I seem to remember having a great time in college by driving an hour to get to a bar that served all-you-can-eat Buffalo wings, drinking a couple 'fishbowls' of Guiness with my 60 or so wings then capping it off with a DQ Sundae on the way back. If I tried that now, I'd be in the ER before the Sun came up.

Partying = Bad.







Partying = Great at 19 hehe


Just started my second year at uni about 3/4 weeks back and the parties have been flowing fast. Im not sure but id say out of 30 days ive perhaps not been at a party 5 nights, maybe 4. The parties start around 11am generally (through the week days) and last through til next the next day but i dont realy get hangovers just tired sometimes so its not that hard to handle it.


The longest stretch ive gone through so far this year (second year at uni) without a break (not going to a party) is 19 days solid. I felt pretty rough after that and took a day of sleep off along with a day of recouperation and 'reflection' heh but had some blasts. Now things are cooling down but id say around 3 or 4 a week still but leaning more towards a massive group of us heading around town to the pub instead of having bbqs (getting cold you see).

I can honestly say that I was never that much of a partier. Of course, I spent so much time in chemistry labs, breathing various organic fumes, that I probably killed just as many brain cells. That's ok though, I don't find much need for them now.
