I age mine alongside RL time. It's easier, and stuff about time can get really complicated, so I like to keep it simple.
However, when something big happens.. Like say.. Uh. Something changes politically, or some big evil guy is slain in the main scenario quests, I do not instantly take that info in icly - if at all. Like, some others may take things in on every patchday, but I like to wait before mentioning that my character heard about x and x, because my character isn't likely to know a lot of the things that happen. She can't read, so the only source of news she has about the world is through travelers, bars and the likes, and anyone who frequents bars would know to take stuff that's said there with a pinch of salt. So in that sense she's a few months behind on current events. Mind you, if something VERY big happens like I don't know a round two of Bahamut raining fire everywhere, that would obviously be taken in instantly.
That said, my Main and my primary alt do not know when their namedays are, so I have nothing to icly mark them as being older. I tend to adjust Wiki's and profiles after the anniversary of the game.
