I think lucy goes back only to 2001 or 2002.

However that item scanning thing worked (came from Magelo?), my impression is that the earliest entries are when lucy started.

I think if you look at an item that was in from the beginning the earliest entry for anything is when lucy started, not 1999.

looked up 'rusty short sword' initial entry is 12-30-2002.

Edit: sorry that 12-30 is for test server. For live it was entered 12-22-2002. Guess they included test later.
