So here's a random question

Ever wonder how old one of your characters are?

I know you can figure out the amount of hours you've played and how many times you've logged in, but what if you wanted to find out when you actually created said character?



Is there some mystical mysterious way of finding out this information? Or is it lost in the vortex black whole like parts of the internets?

The majority of my characters join into my SG on the day they were created, so I can just check that info. However, that doesn't apply to older characters that existed before the SG came around, nor characters on other servers than my main...

So, yeah, I'd like to know if there's a "Created On This Date", or even a "Character has existed for X Days", command to find out. <_<

Here's a random answer.



Applesauce.

Moreso than wondering when a particular character was created (mine usually coincide with Issue releases), I'm often curious to know when the character achieved level 50.

Hmm, makes me wonder how old my original character should "really" be.

I'm coming up on 72 months soon.
He was created on my first day in the game.
A day in-game passes in what? about an hour real-time?

Assuming 1 hour real-time = 1 day game-time.
Averaging to 30 days per month x 72 months.
Multiplied by 24 hours per day = 51840 hours real-time
Divided by 365 = 142 in-game years have passed since he was created.

Hmm, he doesn't feel that old

It's not how old you are...it's how old you feel.

That's fairly easy: April 28, 2004.

If you go up to a civillian with a starting letter of M you can find out how many hours you've played that character or "been on patrol" but as for date created etc I'm not aware of a specific way players can access that info!

Yup, been missing the option as well.

Back when playing Anarchy Online, it was easy as heck to get that info by typing /born.

It would give you eveything from the actual date to the time of that day (not sure if it gave seconds too..) and that was pretty funny sometimes.

I found it a bit sad to type it here and not get the result. I have an MM that I would like to have the exact date of. She's been about since not long after CoV launched at least..

It's not the years it's the mileage.

It's actually a pretty good question but to my knowledge there's no record kept.

Only way that I know of is if the character was created the same day you joined a supergroup. (by looking at the date of joining said sg)

I just figure the ones of mine who would age age at the speed of plot, like in mainstream comics, where Spider-Man has been a young adult since the 1960s. Perhaps an anti-aging serum was administered when we joined Hero Corps/Arachnos/the PPD. :-) It's all good.

My titular character is 24. She was 18 at the launch of the game. Her sister is 19. She turned 18 when Fire Melee came out for scrappers. (I could be wrong about that date.)

All my characters are this many... *holds up some fingers*

All superheroes are assumed to be immortal, be they from CoH, another MMO or comics, etc.

Not sure, but isn't there a 'date created' these days next to your characters?
I know my namesake was made on my first day ingame...so March/April of 2005 I guess...

Speak for yourself. Almost all of my characters are mortal.

According to their backgrounds, my characters range in age from just a few years (for non-human characters that were created suddenly), to about 15 years old, to around 75 years old, to somewhere around 1400 years old.
