Present

2050 A.O.D. forward. Time period where online players are using the world. The server year is 2166 A.O.D. as of July 2006. The reference dates on Orleron's original timeline article were relative to 2000 A.O.D. However, the Avlis Calendar calculator suggests that the game year was 2050 A.O.D. when the Mikona server first went live, on 1 June 2002. Regarding this calculator, note that the closer dates get to the present, the further off the calculated date will get from the actual server date. The difference may be as much as 18 years, and might be accounted for by downtime for server maintenance over the years. In any event, the current official game date is displayed when you log in, and can be viewed from the custom radial menu at any time.
