If I remember rightly, it was March 22nd 2005... and then at the beginning of April for the UK - around the 10th.
I think your correct....most of the google searches says so

thnx
Don't be under any illusion here, the 'launch' was just a way to get everyone to pay for beta.
Here's hoping that they'll crush all the bugs, do another character wipe, and relaunch it again.

*Slaps Alfie for even suggesting a character wipe*
Yes the game was never ready for launch. We have always still been playing a beta game. The end of "Beta" was just fantastic and unbelievable. I still remember all the cheering and screaming on our ventrillo server. I hope that we will have much more than just our memories.
As the song said, "You can't put your arms around a memory..."
pre-order customers got a 3-day headstart... soooo SOME of us started March 19th.
the three greatest days in mxo, march 19th, 20th, and 21st. LOL very few of us, very little lag, and the birth of much that has happened since.

Actually the greatest 3 days of MxO was that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before March 19th. Simply unbelievable.

Aww the good old days 
I miss beta lol well the end of it
Thanks for the Memories MXO!
Ah I remember when I told AgentWalrus to go to hell.. what a fun day.
And what date was the server merge?
Didnt intend for the thread to float still here on the top...
The purpose of my question is that i wanted a time base to estimate how much matrix time has passed since launch...3 days up or down dont matter...
Matrix math...
24hours matrixtime = 1hour real time
1 month matrixtime = 30hours real time (give and take for 31 day months)
1 year matrix time = 360hours real time / 15days real time
Wanted to estimate the time that has passed for us...which is 20 years matrix time since launch...give or take a month or two
Twenty years since Neo's Death...

Ooooooooo, so my rsi is old, which means, we will age in no time...which means, omg! I'm old!
...never really thought of this.

I see your point...but from a machine perspective...it wouldnt make sense to keep the matrix flowing faster than the world...if anything slower...to keep humans plugged in as much as possible.
I still think my original idea is sound. Its a game...and god forbid they actually clocked it, real time...If day and night flow the way they do in the matrix...then i c no reason why "ingame" passing of 20 years is a surprise.
On the other hand...its true we get crits every YEAR game time lol...the rest of the time???? Well, parties from the mervs...terrorist attacks <wink wink>...general PvP ganking or honoured dueling...Debating philosophy...flaming...A regular existense...

Twenty Years...Twenty Long Years...Look Deeper!
