No, not "everyone", but if you look at the games being played the most and look at what age the people are who put in most hours, it's obviously teenagers.
That isn't to say that "everyone is young". Me saying America has a majority of white people wouldn't mean me saying "everyone is white".
Ofc a private server for a group that has probably existed for 10 years or more will not have the same statistics as looking at just what age plays most.
"Wrong games" lol. Yeah my brother plays a lot of OSRS and the average age for that playerbase is probably higher than 20.
But it's a very minor part of the whole group of "everyone who games".
On a side note I play and follow the classic Tetris scene and it's been wild seeing the game change in terms of age demographics in only a couple years. Went from mostly middle age 30+ to kids 14-25 at least at the top of the game.
