Did the characters "created" date change?
das Keks.5403:
I’m just confused why I have two different created dates for the same character in my database:
1 Aleen Arbor 2014-04-12T17:26:01Z
2 Aleen Arbor 2014-04-12T17:26:00Z
The first entry is a few days old the second from just now.
Shouldn’t the created date be something that does not change?
Elfo Bianco.3786:
The creation’s date don’t change.
In your case we are talking about 1 second. Your next character’s birthday will be 1 second before.
Really even if it is an issue, it is irrilevant.

No it’s not irrelevant. Most of us are using the creation as unique identifier for each character, because the name is not immutable.
That said, I didn’t notice any creation date changes in my database.

You are right I didn’t think about that.

That’s super weird; I can’t think of any reason why it would have changed.

Does api endpoint always go to the same datacenter? Eu/na type of thing? Also was the character moved from one server to another recently?
Maja.6372:
I think there is something wrong ingame not api related
on my f2p account I get this odd /age output
I have only one char on that accout

Depends on the endpoint. For the account/character stuff, it sends a request to whichever datacenter your account is currently in. For the items and stuff it just uses the local datacenter (the API uses geoDNS).

That’s different though; the account time accrues when you’re on the character select screen, so that should be higher than the sum of all characters. My understanding was that the character created date shouldn’t change — the server transfer makes the most sense to me as a likely culprit (since one of our time formats stores the time as an integer minutes value).

F2P accounts can’t transfer servers?

But in the screenshot he posted, it’s LOWER. His account time is 32 hours and he’s played that one character for 33 hours. That doesn’t make any sense.

Ah, lol, I can’t read. That’s super weird; I’ll try asking around.

My f2p acc has/had the same issue:
Char played 2h38m, acc 2h31m
Later…
Char played 7h18m, acc 7h6m
Even the difference is changing!

I had a similar issue awhile back. I received my first birthday gift, but when I looked at the toon’s age it was 1 day older than my account.
