Sorry if this has been discussed to death at some point but I searched 750AY and didn't really find a thread about it, but why are we stuck in the year 750 AY? I'm genuinely interested in why because from a RP perspective it is really confusing to start your first year of RPing here and decide that your character is say, 25 years old, meaning they were born in 725 AY. And so you have been RPing this character for over a year, to the month of their birthday, how can it make sense to start the same cycle over again and it not be 751? The only way to age this character would be to move their birthday back a cycle but in doing so that might alter some aspects of their history, such as when they were schooled, when they got their first job, etc. I can't recall if the answer was something along the lines of 'don't think into it' or something else but I am wondering why it was determined that we stay in this cycle.
Even from a community and development standpoint, it can make sense to move on to 751AY, 752AY, etc by having historical moments occur each year that make that cycle remembered for ____ or ____. Not only that, but I can see it as a means of bridging community RP with an ongoing development of the game, especially since I have heard (I think through the GM Q&A) that lore is being developed in a way that progresses the story of the game in general. I feel like maybe allowing the cycles to move with that developing story might solve the birthday/age dilemma as well as allow for a new and contemporary timeline to begin playing out in an interesting historical sense.
