Did you ever notice what year it was?

[Jibartik]

I never really thought about what year Everquest was in. Then while I was looking at some screenshots I noticed that its somewhere approximately between 3100 and 3199.

I haven't really looked through all my SS's but I did look through enough that I saw that date circle back around in them, so I figure maybe its just always somewhere between those two numbers. Am I wrong? Meaning its like Y2K once we hit 3199 the next year ticks back to 3100. (I think??)

What's the significance of that year in the norrathian calendar? Is there any?

Anywho, I was wondering how long it would take from my characters perspective for the expansions to come out? How old are the farmers in the karanas? how old am I?

Ok well, I am [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] or 5.3 years old (Wow! I'm a youngling!) So now that I got that cleared up, what is time like in EQ compared to IRL?

(my math skills are very very bad so there must be a decimal point somewhere where it shouldn't be with these coming calculations. So please correct me if I am wrong.)

1 Everuest day lasts 72 IRL minuets.

Starting from the ✞HOLY✞ year of our lord Brad 3100

+1 EQ Year: 3101
Irl Minuets 26,280 (I seriously think my basic math is wrong here)
Irl Days 18.25
IRL years 0.5

+50 EQ Years: 3150
Irl Minuets 1,314,000 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Irl Days 912.5
IRL years 2.5

+500 EQ Years: 3600
Irl Minuets 13,140,000 (HOW IS THIS MATH CORRECT [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])
Irl Days 9,125 (WHAAAT?? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])
IRL years 25 (ARE YOU KIDDING ME??)

Ok so, what Im seeing here is that, I am either retarded, or since p99's creation the year must have been around, what... (someone else do this math for me Im just guessing) 2300?.. or does the game cycle through the years like I thought?

I'm... gonna double check this screenshot stuff...

Ok obviously this was last May, and at the time the year of our lord ✞Brad✞ was 3138:

Now this is today:

So yeah, am I crazy or is that a rolled back year?

And if it is, unless my math is wrong (how do i fix??) then like, shouldn't.. it not have gone through all those years since last May?

How the hell does the date in this game work? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Is all of this totally wrong and did the server start at year 0?
