    Nice to meet all of you
  • My wife tells me this is a kids game lol do any kids actually play?

    Can't stay competitve on a kid's allowance, takes a full-time income.
    I think it's more that kids are into the action games. I don't picture a lot of teens getting jazzed about moving a few tiles around, then waiting 8 hours for a refresh.

    My 12-year-old son plays, but I think that's mainly because I've passed down my love of Marvel to him. He can't put the hours into the game that I can (mean mom and dad making him do homework instead of playing videogames) so he's maxing out 2* characters while I finally have enough maxed 3*s to be gaining 4* star covers, ever so slowly.

    When he has videogame time, he's more likely to choose Minecraft over MPQ -- but sometimes he'll do both at the same time (Minecraft on a laptop, MPQ on an iPad next to him). Kids his age and younger are obsessed with Minecraft; games like MPQ, that take a hell of a lot of patience and time to build up a roster of great characters, aren't as appealing. The one caveat is when there are big events -- like Ultron, Antman, and now Anniversary/Galactus. The big events draw him in and make him want to play more, which I expect is the case for many casual players, regardless of age.

    Boy, this whole thread is going to humanize all the people we compete with. "How can you live with yourself, sniping that inner-city schoolteacher to steal t5?"

    Means I'm in your neck of the woods on a weekly basis, since I also teach at Heartland CC. I've got 2 kids of my own, ages 10 and 5.

    Ha, I'm actually looking to move there in a few months when my contract's up to try and teach in the Hernando county school system with the rest of my family.
