[Zentetsuken]

scholars believe haven was immaculately conceived some time in the early neolithic era

Well we can maybe say 2008-09-10 when they added character creation. But Loftar or Jorb can give us an exact date.

I guess, as I've been told, that would be, about the same day the great seed meteorite began to break apart in the sky...? I could go with that.

Haven has actually come to be in a manner that is evolutionary enough that I really can't think of any singular event that would be called its birthday. There are quite a number of candidates, including but probably not limited to:

• The first time Jorb and I started discussing making a persistent-world MMO (though I don't even remember when this was),
• The time Jorb asked me to teach him program in order to start working on what eventually started becoming Haven but at that point was just a single-player demo,
• The time we started rewriting it as a networked program,
• The time we added actual saved characters,
• The first server commit in Git,
• The time we added the home page and account registration, or
• The day we actually started getting users as a result of the SGA competition.

I myself am kinda leaning towards the latest, which happened, I think, on May 29 2009.

So May it is!

Ah, wait... We still need Jorb to chime in...
But May two nine, two double zero nine? I like that! It has a nice chime
