So, is it 817 now? - Tenacity - 01-02-2009
' Wrote:According to the Wiki, last year was 817, so this year should be 818.
Edit: under time line of Sirius, under 9th century. Now on the front page of the Wiki it say 816. Possibly an error on the time line page, or someone forgot to update the front page
I think its probably an error in the wiki, as you said it says 816 on the front page, and as jammi said the readme also states 816, and as kuraine said 4.85 is supposed to take place in 817...
and we have about 30 more votes for 817 now, so im going with that =)

2008 is equil to 817, so 2009 means 818,
So, is it 817 now? - Klaw117 - 01-02-2009
Why do so many people think it was already 817 to begin with? 4.84 takes place in 816.
So, is it 817 now? - Snapp - 01-02-2009
In my personal opinion 816, 817, or 818 is incorrect..
I prefer to believe it is 809 A.S. now... and if counting the extra 10 years Igiss tacked on, possibly 819 A.S.(unsure as to why it jumped from 805 to 811 as seen below).

Either way i think the time in RP should pass at the same rate it does in RL, as seen above. Freelancer can be considered a "real-time" rpg/action/shooting game after all, right? Which to me logically and inRP would make todays date...

Then maybe something cool could be done like an option to set your forum time to what it would be inrp. :)
The Future:
815 A.S. - Sigma 13 is scheduled to be cleared.
820 A.S. - Year when Harris is scheduled to be open for colonization.

That was the date and time of the first post of aki's profile, why dont you make that her birthdate?:P
and yes... i think it is 817

Well In the official time-line on forums (and wiki) somewhere is told that the year 817 was in 2008, so theat would mean it's 818 right now. Altough I personally belive it was 816 and it is 817 right now. Bleh.
So, is it 817 now? - Klaw117 - 01-02-2009
So, 2 contradicting, official sources of information. Only way to tell is to get Igiss in here. Personally, I think it's 817 A.S. now and it was 816 A.S. before New Years.
So, is it 817 now? - 122nd Order Guard - 01-02-2009
From the information we've gathered we believe it's been 817 A.S.
for quite some time now. Currently it should be early 817 A.S.
However when 8.45 comes out it should be mid 817 A.S. as Kuraine stated.
