Starting Date

The first day of play on the server was November 3rd, 2005 and will be considered Shieldmeet of 1372 in game.

Finding out the current date:

There's a calendar posting in-game, outside the Office of the Herald door in Town Hall, where you can check the current game date. This date is also given to you when you first log in, in the combat log chat panel. If you're not in-game, you can type !date in #efu (the IRC room on DarkMyst).
