The birth date isn't in a time bubble and I haven't met many players who actually care to distinguish what year/date/era their character is born. Most I meet just say that they've lived for about 25 years etc.
I mean, your character isn't 5 years or younger right? I fail to see why the time bubble would really affect the characters birth.
I was speaking more from the long-runner perspective of the bubble. I suppose it isn't as prescient for newcomers.
For example, you've been playing Kage for a long time. How old is he compared to how old he was at launch? If he hasn't aged, it means he's been -insanely busy- in the past few months, having gone through all of his entire RP life in less than a school year. It gets jarring to think back on all of the time we've invested and go "Yep, that was three weeks ago." The months-long wait between 2.55 and HW was only "a couple of weeks" too, which further confuses how busy we actually are.
It almost gets to the point of nega-retconning, where you have to start timing stuff to before the actual launch in order for it to time out correctly. The Grindstone's existed for two years OOCly, with a fight night every week, but that means we've done 100+ fight nights in less than 365 days. Counting 8-day weeks and it just gets muddier and muddier. So the GS either is lying on an OOC level because of time bubble, or the GS existed in-canon before it existed in canon.
Headaches. Headaches everywhere.
You're not wrong though. For someone new entering the fray, the bubble doesn't apply to you. It will in a year or so, though, when it's only been two months since the end of 3.0. Maybe.
Wibbly wobbly.
