How old are you? and since when did you start playing starcraft?

Well I played starcraft when i was 9 loved the game for the longest time except I thought zerg were REALLY REALLY weak when i was younger. Now i know how to play them and im rather good. 16 now btw

 

I hope this doesn't sound too lame but I started playing when I was 21 and Im 30 now. I know there are even older people out there that play. I know some... Oh, and they arent Korean and neither am I.

 

lol, im 14 and i started playing about a year after it came out, so i would be about 6, ive playe d so much on-off, i actually started playing again about a month ago, and i had stopped about 1 year and a half ago

p.s. when i die, i want to be buried with my original copy of starcraft :]

p.s.s. that was creepy....

 

ROFL
you guys started wayyy to late!

i started when i was 5 years old and after an year it came out
and im 13 right now and still playing
xD

 

Gasp. TG (TerranGod) and I are the same age. I think I'm a tad older though. Almost 1 month until I'm 14.

I wonder who would win in a youngins VS old crotchety men fight 4v4.

 

im wondering...are you korean?
and id say yougins because men has things to do so kids would win
kids have more time to play so...and practice...so....

 

Nope Canadian.

How did it come to you that I could be Korean?

 

13 years old. omg! im so jealous. goodluck to me.

 

I started in 98. So i was 8. Playin on good ol dial up. haha. I'm 17 and a half now.

 

since im the one who created this thread im going to repeat myself.as i said. im old, im 22. lol

wow i never knew that you can actually play on dial up even now. :-\

fortunately we got dsl now. and thanks powerkickass ;D

 

CD?? I don't think WarCraft(1) ever came out on CD. Even if it did... that would be blasphemy!! Many moons ago... I had saved up all my allowance money for months so I could buy WarCraft(1) paid 80$(CND) for it. and it came on two 3.5" diskettes (not CD) I still got the box and everything.

You must mean WarCraft2 .. I remember having to buy a (then very expensive) CD ROM drive for my computer so i could install/play it.

And BTW I'm 30 years old also ... so don't feel to alone Tym29. ^_^

 

my version of wc1 is on cd, but I bought it a couple of years after release.

edit; it says 1996 on the cd

 

Started around Feburary of 2006 at a happy age of 15 till....now

 

I'm 13 gonna be 14 this year and i first saw my older bro playing SC when i was about 6/7 years old and i was too shy to play so i didnt play SC this year....
....started playing sc when i was 13
playing sc now and im 13..

 

aawwwwhhh. hahah. dont be shy now.
you young guns makes me wanna retire. ^^

 

I'll be 20 in a few months, and first played Starcraft when it was first released around 1998.

I feel so old...

 

I started playing it when it first came out. I really started playing it about 2001 and 2002. I stopped until recently. What is my age? Answer: I graduated from high school in 1991.

P.S. Kids life dont even start until 30 and some even say 40! Everything you experience now you think its all big and what have you. The relationships you form and the games you play you think are uber. In the case of Starcraft 2 it is! However, in 5 years maybe less you will probably forget most of it. If someone would have told me what life is really like I would have gone to a CHEAPER university. Trust me, FEW realtionships are worth anything until 22+

 

yeah in hindsight that sounds about right but man highschool was fun. Nothing to do but what you want and no responsibilities. I still have a few friends from those days even after 11 years. So some good friends can be made at that age.

 

While I can relate to a lot of what you are saying, that statement in particular I believe to be situational.  I am 27 and most of my friend I have now I have met before the age of 20, sometimes way before. But most of my close friends I've known for at least 10 years, some of the closest ones even longer at around 14 years.  My longest running friend, I've known and been friends with for 20 years.  That guy in particular, we were both born in Korea, met and grew up in Taiwan, and now both live in the states.  Life sure is interesting.

But really, you really don't start to fully appreciate until you're older.  Every bit that you get older, lets you have a better view on the scope of things.  Old guys rule, imma be spanking the young'uns in SC2, ha!

 

19. Started playing when I was about 9 or so.
