Lastbeat is the last real time second the server was heard from (in standard Unix time measurement) and is used for crash detection. Globtime is the number of in-game seconds since midnight, first month, year 0.

Am I correct in my interpretation that at globtime 243389562 the current H&H world time is 9/18/07 12:12 AM and the moon is 20% full (and going toward a new moon)?
It seems strange that we would be on year 7 since haven time passes only 3 times as fast as real time.

Actually, seeing how the globtime has been ticking early 2008, I find it odd that we'd only be on year 7. But yes, that would seem to be the correct interpretation (though I didn't check the numbers in detail).

I had thought that the time was reset with each world. I guess that makes sense then.

Goddamn, the world (universe?) is only 7 years old? Some of you are ancients. :)

the character age on the account page is totally wrong, if that's what you're referring to
