I don't know, we're all getting old. Perhaps all the emphasis on its age is nothing more than a cry of an ageing player-base. I, myself, had most fun in Disco 5 years ago. 5 fucking years!
And I have a feeling that my youth will run out before I even learn how to have fun, how to...live this life! Can't anyone say that?
The same is true for Disco life. Many of us joined years ago, had most fun back then and didn't quite learn how things really work (on all levels of the community) for quite a while. But when we did learn, it was not fun any more, the mystique was gone, illusions shattered, the true bitterns of LIFE, DISCO life became clear to us.
When we point at FL's age, we point at ourselves. FL has been the same for all that time. We have changed. We grew old. Games are eternal, the world around them ages.
