Kago has the oldest char. His monk was AFK before they even had NPCs in marhan's grotto.

I'd think the oldest you can get is almost 15 months currently. My oldest is about 14 1/2 months old now.

Whoa, I did not know that!

I guess those who had played since the Betas have the oldest Characters.

The beta's do.

Hence, I did have a 17 M/O char, from the early betas, but she's gone now...

Basicly everyone that kept theyr character from the betas (like me),they are all the same age, the aplhas /age was also reset correct? so the aplhas and betas are the same age.

Yep, the Betas win in the oldest character catagory. Mine is pretty old, though, being a "Week after release" character. 16 Months and counting

I had a Ranger from the January BWEs, but he was deleted a long time ago..

My oldest is 13 months.. my first char (a monk) would have been 14 months, but I deleted him too.. if I had known that Anet would give b-day gifts.. >_>

If I remember right (I wasn't actually part of the betas) I think it worked like this:

The Character was Reset (Level, unlocks, etc wise) but still existed in a "new character" form (a palceholder character to reserve the name). So /age still counts the beta testing time - even though the characters were wiped clean.

:\ Might be totally off base though. But my reasoning does flow with the rest of the thread that suggests that beta time does count.

I believe that my oldest character would be about 14 months, but was deleted long ago so my current oldest is my E/Me at about 13 months.

Although right now I'm perm banned and still waiting from a response from [email protected] as to why this is...

Yep, I do believe you are off base since my Ranger was originally created during the WPE. All characters, except maybe dev characters had their age reset to start on release day.

I just hit 13 months on my oldest character... I suppose my first character would have been 14 months now if I hadn't vaporized his pixels. lol

all the data in beta were wiped. but beta users were allowed to reserve their beta names.

maybe they had a place holder but set the time to 0. beta time = beta data anyway.

my oldest char is 14 months, same age as my account. i first played that char nov-dec '04.

My first character was made about a week after release. He would have been 14 months old now, except his pet bear went into hyperphasia and ate him. My Oldest living character is at 13 (almost 14) months old.

My oldest character is 8 months old, but her pet is much older than that.
Furry Fury spent several years in Regent Valley just waiting for his destined soulmate to finally come online. So to anyone who feels like bragging about his/her age : my pet sp3lling3rr0rz you all

Since the day before the official release, cause of the pre-order.

Being in beta doesn't count because it doesn't count in /age nor in birthday presents. The age of your character is exactly 1 year before the day you got your birthday present.
