The Carnage Voice Environment

I got a laugh from reading a post coutesy of Kulrayk (or Aylii) about Ventrilo environments and how they might be different. Although she does post a great question that I should go out of my way to look up. I really have no idea what the average age of the Guild is. Kulrayk has been a guest on my Guilds vent at my request. I figured she might be interested in learning about how Carnage operates during raids, and here are some of her conclusions:
- Carnage had longer periods of rated X talk than my guild. This leads me to believe that the average age of members on carnage are lower than of those in Echoes.
- Accents. Most of my guildies are east coasters. carnage seems to have an abundance for west coasters, and surprisingly enough, many live here in Southern California!
- There is more talk of PvP-QQ on Carnage, which once again leads me to believe that the members are younger.
But I can say most of us (with the exception of Netherscrub ^^) are past high school. I love it. I can’t wait until she hits 70. She’d fit in well, I figure =).
I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Firetree. Currently, I raid 4 nights a week in a hardcore guild. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
Well… We do have 2 distinct crowds in Carnage vent now.
Crowd 1: Blori
Crowd 2: People who waste Blori’s time
Eh? Eh?
Sounds like an interesting crowd. :
My guildies already drive me nuts as it is, but I love them.
haha I think the average age of people in my guild would be between 20-24 or so. A LOT of the chat that goes on in guild and on vent is definetely rated X.
I think there’s one person who is under 18, but he handles himself well and gives out as much banter as he receives. There’s definetely not many pre-18 year old people with the maturity level to actually fit in to a guild like ours, but I’m glad he’s around. Good kid
Carnage is pretty laid back for a raiding guild. It is relaxing at times but it does cause us some problems
Overall I am enjoying my second time around with Carnage
As a high school student, I can say that there is very little immature drivel about nuclear weapon design on Vent. This leads me to believe that the average age of Carnage is above 20, assuming that none of them have seen Duck and Cover.
