Technically, not a single year has passed between 2.0 and 2.3.
Technically, only five years have passed between Calamity and 2.3.
However, many will argue and point out that we had a New Years Event (Heavensturn) in between 2.0 and 2.3, necessitating that at least part of one year has come and gone. If you wish to go with this and say that it has been 6 years since the Calamity now, I don't think anyone will fault you. I.e. "The First Year of the Seventh Astral Era" six years post Calamity.
BUT, as far as lore is concerned, the game (like a comic strip) exists in a time bubble because it's an MMO and they want to minimize a staggering time gap between a player who just started the MMO yesterday and it's 5th Year of the Seventh Umbral Era, but if you've actually done all the storyline up into 3.26 it's actually now the 3rd Year of the Seventh Astral Era OMGWTFISHAPPENING.
Fernehalwes explains this to 1.0 players heeeere.
