The time we play in now is supposed to be roughly fifty years after the campaign. One of my characters has a quest reward from the great Sereg siege that says it's the year 2050.

Based off that, I would say that the time between the server first going up, the adventures of the 1%ers all the way to around January 2003, with the the Trial and the begining of a large influx of new players should be the first online "era" and take place between the years 2045 and 2050.

Then the next era would follow the Vortex plot (the most epic of plots so far) and many organizations sprouting up. This second era would be the years 2050-2055 and end with the closing of the vortex plot which was the end of July 2003.

The Third era would be 2055-2060, events of that era for example are the high mage council being formed, the Gentleman plot, Sereg becomming deconditioned. This Era would have begun at the end of summer 2003 and continues to the present.

This gives the feeling that time has actually passed since the server began, without making human characters ridiculously old.
