I decided to dig a little in the fourms and I found this kind of surprising what I found here lots of info of how this game has changed and of how long the server is going to last

[Captain Jack]

Some clarification about the biography feature:

1)Day Joined
We had no records (till only recently) of the exact joining day of every player in Avonmora. So, for the majority of the current players, we have used their join day in Avomora. However, since some joined before the opening of this server, we used the 1st day of this server for such players.

This is why (once it opens) you will see some players with higher character ID having joined the game at an earlier day than a player with a lower char ID. Most of such players though will have the first day of the server at the join date display (897 BAT).

2)Guild Names
Unfortunately, we have not kept initial names for all guilds. We have most of the renames but not the initial names. This means that we cannot produce 100% of all guild names at every possible period. We could do it to an extend but we decided to use the names as they are known now. So, if you have any entry with a guild in your biography, you will see the name as known now (if it ever changed a name).

3)Promotions
Some promotions have not been logged (ie Duke ones). Governor promotions are not logged anyway.

4)Kicked out of a guild
We only started logging this after a point, so there will not be full data of this. This is something that we incorporated only to display whether a leave was self-motivated or something else.

Finally, time:

BAT - Means Before Avonmora Time
AT - Means Avonmora time, it is the day we started counting.
AAT - After Avonmora Time, the time we are currently using (Day 1500 as we speak)

You will see only BAT mentioned in-game though. The rest are skipped.

What happened to the Captain's log? I believe reading it was ready for immediate implementation

You can already toggle this through Settings at profile.
Ability to view biographies of other players is not activated yet anyway.

I suggest that most players do not turn it off though - I understand some will want to but it is very helpful to see the biography of a player for someone that is interested. So, consider other players needs before turning this off. It certainly helps most people's reputation.

I know, I meant I like the ability to turn it off.

I find, if they want to know something they ask.

Hey Captain Jack, can you add an event to player biographies for when a player turns pirate?
Skyhawk's biography is interesting but it never mentions the fact that he is a pirate which is probably the most important bit of information about him.
