Does every character one makes start on the same date/day?

Yes, unless you are on PC and use some mod that changes this, it is always Morndas, 17 Last Seed, 4E 201.

Whats that got to do with character birthdays.

If the dates they started were all different, I would like to make that date my characters' birthdays.

This gives me an idea.

I think I shall declare a certain date as my character's birthday. Then if I am able to pay attention closely enough, I will celebrate it when it comes around..

How shall I celebrate it, though.... I am thinking of allowing a "cheat" of some sort. Maybe a resto-loop forted potion or enchant, or something like that. Would allow for some really nice (rare) items, without breaking the game. I would appreciate it more, that way... hmm....


How long in game play time does it take for 1 year?

without sleeping or waiting there is 72 real minutes in 1 ingame day.

which means 26280 real minutes for 1 ingame year.

Edit: I hate my stupid brain.

Ha! I thought that 62k number seemed large!

So... 26280/60=438 hours irl

So my character will have a birthday every 438 hours of game play....

Might just be seldom enough to warrant a high powered item as a b-day present to myself.

It may be a glitch, but sometimes I start on Tirdas, 17 Last Seed, 4E 201. (I'm on Xbox)

The day of the week is probably the only difference between games. The day number, month, and year seem to always be the same.

It always starts on Morndas for me.

For me it's either Morndas or Tirdas.

It got horribly confusing when I tried synchronizing several RP save files and some characters were a weekday ahead even though the day of the month was the same.

My main character's birthday is the 30th of Sun's Dusk.
