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?
To finaize this investigative work on when Sandycove started:
The first forum message I found from a Sandycove player was on 05.05.12: "Hello" from cromanww (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/17583-hello). 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.
