How does eve keep dates? I don't think the Amarr record their dates as June 8, 2009; but when I read the news I see 2009.06.07 18:10:13 listed as the date and time. So is there a RP date that is used at all? |

EVE uses Military time, hence the 24 hour clocks and the date format. |

I understand the military time, I am talking about in game dates. I hardly think 20,000 years in the future somehow people will have changed their dates and somehow now it magically is the same as our dates and times (thou I could be wrong I've seen stranger things in eve)
As for cheese well of course I smell like cheese, I bathe in the stuff. |

I am asking "if I was really my character, what would I think the date would be" something like "357 AW [after warp] or 1107 AE [after evegate]"
I don't know what relationship to put to different events. I have been looking through the chronicles and none of them have dates either other than vague things like 200 years ago the Caldari-Gallente war started. |

I think it's year 109, or year 110, but I don't remember why. |

111, I believe. And I don't know why, either.

Way out of date
This should be updated. so much has gone on in the time line. ie serps pinching the gal dread history. 1st dread kill. killing and crowning of a monarch. The war between empires.
CCP should make a few changes. It's been 6 years. |

I got a little bored with mining (sorry Chribba... sometimes there can be a little too much Veldspar in one's life!) and so flew my ship over to CCP t0nyG's station. Here's what he told me:
On our calendar it's the year 23347 AD, but it's noted in-game as 111 YC, which means "111 years since the conference in Yulai which decided on a new calendar." This chronicle provides the details.
OOC, I believe the date format is simply server or software determined. In my opinion (and please don't think this represents CCP's viewpoint), it's much easier for players in general to know what news is the newest if the timestamp was based on a real calendar rather than a storyline/roleplay-inspired one.

I thought real life 2008 was YC 111? |

Aww, I know the year would be huge in terms of our calendar, but I was hoping the eve year system was from the day of the collapse of the new eden wormhole, but still understandable.

If CCP has kept the original intro movie (the better and informative one compared to the crappy U R A GOD current one), the four factions have been at peace for about a century... i.e since the gallente-caldari and amarr-minmatar war stopped... hence, declared as the year 1 after the Yulai agreement of peace...
Its now year 111... war broke out (again) in year 110... factional war |

Thats cute. The rest of the world uses your so called "military" time, its just you and 10 other nations that actually use the AM/PM system. |

Yioul, not Yulai
Originally by: the linked chronicle The Yoiul Conference was held 111 years ago, so the current year is 111 YC.
The timelines also call it the Yiuol conference.
Yiuol was the Jovian ship on which the conference took place. I don't believe that there isany reference in the PF as to which system it happened.

Also basically only the US and informally Canada use the middle endian date format, and near enough the rest or the world use little endian. [1]

The Arithmetics wanted the new calendar and clock to have nothing whatsoever to do with old planetary-based calendars, instead they wanted to base it entirely on mathematics. They claimed that the physics-oriented nature of the modern world demanded this. The Traditionalists said the only way to go was to base the new calendar as much as possible on the 24-hour, 365-day calendar favored by early post-collapse settlers. All the races, especially the Jovians and the Amarrians, had some data on the old calendar and by combining the data it could be remade more or less in its original form. Finally, the 25ers claimed that the only measurement worth considering in a space-faring age was that of the human body. The internal body clock of humans is close to 25 hours, and thus they wanted to base the new clock on that measurement.
very nice Chronicle!
So the myth of Jovians exist in the chronicle ?

Wha?
The Jovians were an instrumental part of the founding of CONCORD, offering both one of their cruisers as neutral meeting ground, and helping outfit DED to allow their police ships to destroy anything in seconds. |
