So, is it 817 now?

[Tenacity]

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,

Why do so many people think it was already 817 to begin with? 4.84 takes place in 816.

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).

800 A.S. - Nomad attempt to overtake Sirius is stopped by The Order. SP campaigh is set through 800-801
- As Sigma-13 gas clouds near depletion, GMG moves to acquire new gas miners from Kishiro to make low-density mining profitable again.
805 A.S. - Yukon shoud've become a museum (but did not).
811 A.S. - James Powell wins the elections in Liberty and becomes the President.
812-813 A.S. - Tensions rising between Bretonia and Kusari.
814 A.S. - The war between Bretonia and Kusari has started.
817 A.S. - Present day (Discovery).
820 A.S. - Year when Harris should've been open for colonization (delayed).

I personally would have done the last several years something like... The // parts are what corespond to things that happened the same year in real life if in-game and real time passed at the same rate...

800 A.S. - Nomad attempt to overtake Sirius is stopped by The Order. SP campaigh is set through 800-801
- As Sigma-13 gas clouds near depletion, GMG moves to acquire new gas miners from Kishiro to make low-density mining profitable again.
- //(Freelancers' Shipping date pushed back to 2002.)
800.12 A.S. - [The SP campaign both litterally and figuratively took "a year" to complete.]
//(Microsoft buys Digital Anvil in 2000, December. Microsoft instructs Digital Anvil to scale down the ambitions of the project, and focus on their strengths.
801 A.S. - //(The Freelancer team kept a low profile throughout 2001)
802.10 A.S. - //(Digital Anvil finished adding all the content for the game in 2002, October)
803.03.04 A.S. - //(Freelancer is released by Microsoft. 2003, March 04)
803.07 A.S. - Phantom Terrorists appear. Asgard Warriors begin war against them.
804 A.S. - //(2004)
805 A.S. - Yukon shoud've become a museum but did not.
805.08.01 A.S. - Planets Gammu and Primus are re-claimed by the Zoners.
- //(Discovery Mod 4.76 is Released - 2005, August 01)

807.05.09 A.S. - Dundee, Munich, Newcastle, Omegas-15-47-49-52-55, and Omicron Delta are all now fully populated.
- //(Discovery Mod 4.83 is Released - 2007, May 09).
807 A.S. - James Powell wins the elections in Liberty and becomes the President.
- Full Scale War breaks out between Bretonia and Kusari.

807.12.09 A.S. - [Igiss set the date ingame to 817 A.S. Knock off that added 10 years and the last two digits will match the real year from now on if time passes at an equal rate for RL and RP.]
- //(Discovery Mod 4.84 is Released - 2007, December 09)

809 A.S. - Happy New Year!!!
- //(Discovery Mod 4.85 will be Released - 2009, Unknown)

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...
Year-Mo-Da - Time
0809-01-02 @ 05:32 PM

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.

I've set in Aki's profile and in-game that she's 24 years old, I guess now she's 25, though I never really set a specific birthdate for the character, just a year...

May 28 2008, 10:19 PM

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

[Elvin]

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.

I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.

[Klaw117]

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.

[122nd Order Guard]

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.
