Well, the invasion ended in 2002. The actual game started two years in the future. Three years later, the second invasion begins.
Since the invasion ended in 2002, that's when you can say when Hero 1 vanished. The exact month is unknown, even in game. All that they did know is that Omega Team, anywhere from within twenty-four hours to a little under a week, vanished before the war finally ended.
I hope this helps.

Thanks. That sort of messes me up. So the actual release of the game took place in 2002 on the in game calendar, and it's now really 2005? Or were there two years of clean up between when Hero 1 vanished and the Beta event? WHere did the two years go? I sort of need them : )
Or was the End of Beta Event in 2002, then we just skipped ahead to 2004 for the release of the game?
My first short story (detective fiction) came out in Jan-2012. Other stories and books to follow, I hope. Because of "real writing". COH was a big part of that happening.
I don't think the End of Beta event is regarded as canon.

No, the Rikti invasion had already been part of the story in CoH Beta. The Invasion was a fun RP way to kill off all the beta characters that were going to be deleted anyway when the game went live.
Ahh okay. So if I read this correctly, The game calendar did begin in 2004, but the End of Beta Event was sort of like Highlander 2. It never really happened.
Thanks for the input.
To the time line!

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but if any sub-group of the community will know, it will be here.
I'm in the process of working out my time line. I started the game in May of 2004, so I missed the end of Beta event. That's sort of what the questions are about. The official time line ends in 2002, but I thought there was a huge invasion event in April of 2004.
What year (month and year) did Hero 1 vanish?
When was the big invasion event (in game)?
Can anyone link me to a time line for the first invasion itself? Is there even a time line of it?
Thanks
