I have D'aito Kuji age in real time, using my own birthday as a reference point. Â D'aito is a couple of years older than me because I felt she needed a couple extra years to be a little more believable as an adventurer. Â So D'aito ran away from her tribe sometime during her 18th summer and is now experiencing the beginning of her 20th winter.
It's possible, even likely, that the story itself could time jump and I'll make adjustments if necessary.
Time is always a bit complicated in MMOs. When everything is laid out, all the adventures a character has, all the places they go, all the creatures and people they encounter, it's not really possible to do all those things in a lifetime, much less in a year or month or whatever the timeframe. Â Maybe not impossible, but extremely unlikely.
So there are obviously some things that I count and other things that I don't.
Some things like, recovery from injury, are too inconvenient to the mechanics of gameplay and roleplay. Â I doubt many of us are so dedicated that we'd take weeks of time to recover or essentially play a bed-ridden character for a long period of time. Â So some stuff is going to get time-compressed and while it might "have happened" during D'aito's year, exactly when and the length of time it occurred might be difficult to pin down.
