Is there anything that I can go off of to get the fictional date in EVE. Was kind of interested for RP reasons. I know there used to be this EVE Time but the EVE Wiki has since closed. Anyone have anything?
Thank you in advance. |

Eve's tenth anniversary corresponds to the Earth year 23,351 AD and was YC115 from memory (need to double check that), making this year YC118 I think.
Days and months match Earth days and months.

The galaxy uses the same 24 hour days and 365 days per year based on Earth? That's so crazy!
How does New Eden feel about Earth calling its moon The Moon.

No one's clocks or calendars match their planets for **** but they're staying true to the motherland!

I don't know about staying true to the motherland, but it does make sense that an interstellar civilization would have a standardized time. I doubt it would be based on Earth's time system though, since that's specific to the conditions of Earth's rotation, etc, and if you're going to invent a time system, you may as well do it right and make it decimal based so you don't have to funky conversions between hours, minutes, and second, etc.
Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you.

Well, the backstory explanation why the cluster's Universal Time calendar is divided into hours, days, years, etc. of the old Earth are the Jove once again and their knowledge about very old (Terranian) artifacts that allowed to reconstruct the calendar. Probably the other empires couldn't agree upon any calendar as their own home planets (I guess) all have different rotation parameters leading to different natural days and years. So, the Jove (who attended the Yoiul Conference (YC) where the decision about Universal Time was made as the fifth empire) said, if you can't agree on anything we propose a time system from our all supposed ancient home planet. Accidentally we have something in our artifact warehouses that allows the reconstruction. They found in addition, somehow this calendar matches with our biological clock, cool! That's how they all accepted a calendar from a planet they are not really convinced it ever existed, which makes this decision about the calendar still a bit weird imo.
Also, I found the link in the OP with a more detailed and better description about Universal Time in the Wayback Machine.

Patch notes now seem to reflect Eve's date according to that YC thing, just look at the name of the current patch and remove the decimal number(s). EveMon also shows the YC date when you hover your mouse over the Eve Clock on the lower left corner of the front window. As for keeping a record of that date converted to Earth date, that you'll have to do yourself. Copy/paste what these guys have said to notepad in-game or out of and you'll have one.
Strange none of this is actually shown intentionally in-game. Would be a good excuse to overhaul the calendar window to show true real year and Eve years in YC. Personally, I'd also love to be able to show both the Gregorian and Julian dates. (CCP, PLS!)

You have to have some sort of fixed point otherwise there would be chaos. As a case in point when the railways were first built in the UK all clocks had to be set to GMT. For example, Bristol by virtue of being to the west of London had a variation of 15 minutes, I think,
So, settlers from Earth find that no planet in New Eden has the same time framework. How can that coordinate activities and keep to an agreed schedule without a fixed standard time? Simple, just use the one that the original settlers were used to, that of Earth |
