Six Year? A progression of events query

[Anonymoose]

Well 2.0 starts 5 years after the calamity so we are in year 6 AC

Assuming the time bubble is still in play, I think this may be an inaccurate assumption about how to gauge approximately based on how many years ago people say it was. Throughout the entirety of 1.X, it was 1572. From the day the servers went up until the day the servers went down, "10 years ago" meant 1562. It meant such on Day 1 when NPCs were referring to the fall of the Keeper, it meant such entire storylines later when NPCs were referring to the Bozja Citadel incident.

you are in the 6th year after the quest to commemorate the calamity at lvl 15 I think

In the quest where you convince them to plan said event (Envoy), Merlwyb actually says, "Seven hells ... Has it been five years?" and during said ceremony, Raubahn still refers to it as "five years ago." If anything, you started the game just as it was passing from 4 to 5 when the "dome" came down and sealed the bubble.

What Fernehalwes was saying is that while there is 'passage of time' as events progress, it is unmeasured.

Assuming the bubble is still in play (and I assume it is, considering Fernehawles said this well after 2.0 entered development, referenced MMOs in general, and talks about how lines of dialogue would need to be adjusted between patches if there was), Volkai gets it.
