Meteor Survivor Day

[kidvideo]

Given that he used the real life date instead of an in game date I can assume he meant the anniversary of when it occurred in, you guessed it, real life (as in the date 1.0 shut down). It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out... /comprehension

The real question is: How long has it been in Eorzean time, converted from RL time? /humor

Oh my, don't make me remember that day ;_;

It ended so early in the morning here, I was still halfway asleep when my FC/LS Leader and I were on our way to Mor Dhona. Teleporting was impossible because so many people were online, so we got to Thanalan and took our Chocobos.
Was an eerie feeling all the time during those massive lags, the music, the Garlean soldiers, some disconnects and then the final disconnect, followed by THAT video.
Really gave me all the feels >_<"

Someone already answered that:

If you're interested, since ARR's launch we've played for roughly 24 years in Eorzea.

^ all partially wrong. that's not how the game calculate the 'time'.
Ferne already explained about the time frozen thing @ the lore forum. we are still stay @ 5ish years after the meteor

Thing is, while NPCs and all stay at roughly a fixed point, time still passes. It has, indeed, been 24 years in Hydaelyn. Just like how XI's still fixed at 20 years after the beastmen war but it's been... 200 years since the game launched? This is the paradox of an MMO. You have to keep the story relevant but at the same time time is still marching on.

Here is a couple pics I have of the goobbue wall

Wow, 2 years already! Seems like a good thread to share these again. These are various videos I created to celebrate the end of 1.0 back when it closed down. Enjoy~

Version 1 Tribute Video
Posted on the last save day, this video roughly covers the entire 1.0 storyline in a music trailer format.
Version 1 Tribute Video (End of an Era version)
Same video as above but remade to include scenes from "End of an Era" after it came out.

Before the Fall of Dalamud
A nostalgic look back at the world of 1.0. Includes scenes of all my time lapses of various areas around Eorzea.
Dalamud Time Lapse
Highlighting my Dalamud Time Lapse, since this one was especially popular and relevant to this thread.
Time Lapse Playlist
Playlist of all my time lapses, starting from La Noscea.

Anyone find it interesting that it falls on Veterans Day/Armistice Day/Remembrance Day.

Or in Japan, Pocky Day - http://pocky.glico.com/1111/

here, because dev team said so:
now is 5 years after meteor ET 1577, maybe several "moons" passed and not derail too much:

Before I move onto question two, allow me to veer off onto a little tangent: there have been several threads about Hydaelyn’s timeline not matching up with Earth’s. If it has been two years since the release of the game, why is it still 1572 in Eorzea at the time of patch 1.23? This is a dilemma faced by a lot of MMOs. To allow everyone that joins the game, regardless of when they do, to experience the full story, there simply has to be a stoppage of time. Okay, not really a stoppage, but more of a time bubble in which a span of about a year is contained. This is why that for the duration of 1.0, Eorzea was in a perpetual 1572. Think of it as the same thing that’s happening in the Simpsons. 23 seasons gone and Lisa’s still 8, Maggie’s still a baby, and the gummy Venus still tastes oh, so sacrelicious. Pushing time along would also mean changing 1000s of lines of NPC dialogue, updating quests, webpages, etc. with every patch. Meaning it would take more than double the time to release updates, and I’m sure most people wouldn’t want to wait. In a book, movie, offline game, a strict timeline can be set without too many complications. In an online title, there are just too many variables, so we ask that you bear with our bending of space-time. It’s for the greater good!

Here's some of the ones I took during the last few days of 1.0
