Born Date?

Well, I couldn't sleep so I thought I might as well get up as I was thinking about this as I tried to go back to bed.

You would have thought that maybe I would have awoke to such concerns like Global Warming, The Economy or maybe World Peace but no, I awoke to a question I had on my Toons....lol As of Jan. 2009, I rolled 10 Toons. I pretty much know which one was my first, second, third and maybe forth toon. After that, it gets kind of fuzzy. I used to move them in ranking on the server page before you log your toon into their zones, but after starting new toons and some toons passing others while reaching level 50, I forgot which order they were rolled/born/created.

Out of my 10 Toons, 8 are level 50, one a level 37 and one I just started up with Dual Pistols is level 12. I do know that you can view the badge section in your drop down menu to see when you received that badge, but it seems that over time some of the older badges and achievement dates will be replaced with new ones to make more space.

So, is there "another" easier way to find out your toons date of birth? If not, I would also then like to throw this one into "Suggestions and Ideas" section about adding the born date right on the main page with all your toons. I think it would be kind of a novel idea showing the date of birth, don't you guys think?

On the two main servers that I play on, I use SG join dates.

I know Shadow's birthday. I have it registered on several calendars, alongside other alts's B-days.

Most of the time, I use SG Join Date, but there are a few exceptions. One being an Empath who traveled through our networks of SGs for unlocking Auto-Doc and such.

I personally would love to know when each of my alts were born.

That way, I can judge how much Therapist Money I'm gonna need when they get old enough to have issues with how we skipped their birthdays and exploited their childhoods....er...um...


I gotta go.....

Okay. I just added this to the "Suggestions and Ideas" section. The more I think about it, the more I like knowing when my toons were born. For those of you with oodles of toons, think about how nice it would be to know upfront when they were created and born.

I like this idea. But I think a simple line of text would be nicer than the crazy baby logo

Cabbage Patch Heroes.

If you log into your account using a capitalized user ID (assuming it's normally lowercase), the client wont use your personalized playerslot.txt file to re-order your toons. Instead, it will use the default display, which is the order they were created.

This of course does not help give you exact dates, nor does it help you compare toons on different servers. It might not even help for toons that you transferred... but I figured I'd mention it.

On a side note, I think some people have requested such a feature before, but it was recommended as one of the NPC dialog things like the "You have spent X hours on patrol" features.

I woudln't mind it being on the loginscreen, but some people might see it as clutter, so it might be better implemented as something you can check in-game by looking at your "Paragon City Hero Registration" (ID card).

Added my two cents to the appropriate thread down in Suggestions.

Registered makes more sense, as that is the date the Hero licence is granted by the City

I'm not quite sure how to put it into redside terms, broken out maybe ?

"Threat Identified MM/DD/YYYY"

this would also work just fine for heroes gone villian too.

I was sure there used to be a slash command that used to tell you when your toon was started, as well as another for telling how many times you'd been defeated, when I first started playing CoV (i6).... or am I totally dreaming this up? (there is another mmo I was playing at the time that has a /born command, which I might have got it confused with)
