Someone in my guild just asked how old Sandycove is. Does anyone know?
old tired and at least 5 in November as far as I can see
closer to 6yrs
Yesterday was the sixth anniversary of the Sandycove Open Beta test, so we now know: Sandycove started on January 10, 2012.
Hey up. :) Yesterday was the sixth anniversary for this language version going into Open Beta. Newfoundland Realm (World) 1 started as closed beta earlier. Without going and digging too deeply the "birthdays" for each server are roughly:
Newfoundland: November 2011
Northisle: January 2012
Sandycove: May 2012
If anyone wants to refine these, have at it! Looking for the earliest forum posts in each world, the oldest member's join dates (BB join dates may be earlier than the server going live), and the ancient pages in the News Archive on the homepage are useful sources for regular players to check.
Nothing like a good piece of investigative work! ;)
How do you see what server you are on?
Look at the info to the left of your forum postQuote:

A few players like Malificente joined Sandycove apparently as early as 27.04.12, so my guess is that the server started on the latter date. Thank you all for your help.
defo started 2012 so we are 7
You joined in June 2012 - that could make you the oldest "surviving" player (if you pardon my using the word "old" in a sentence addressing a lady). - All the other early players I found have not posted anything in the last five years.
Makes me feel old ::settler::
I was here from the beginning.. account got hacked early on so.. I started all over again..
Never hurts to change your password or use the OTP option :D
yes, I do learn somethings.. -haha
Now you know why Peggy (PEGI) is to -LOL- :DQuote:

The server had only a few players, but didn't know it was that new when I started :eek: Nor did I truly realise I've been playing this game for eight years :D
will be dead by Xmas anyway lol
Ah! I am afraid that did not happen.Quote:
