The year in the Dynastic Reconing calonder isn't 'unknown' for when the Giganticus Lupicus were last spotted if there is a set year in the Mauvelian calender. Just takes a bit of math. :P Silavor 21:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Beacon's Perch info.
In the description it says that it was named after the Dwarf who single-handedly fought back the Hill Giant invasion. So..Wouldn't it be Beacon, rather than Lornar? Gmr Leon 19:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Named for the legendary Dwarven warrior who single-handedly help off the great Hill Giant invasion of 534 A.E. I guess it should be changed, besides didnt Droknar live before that Hill Giant invasion? [[Image:User_C4K3_Signature.jpg|18px]]C4K3 14:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Movement of the World approximation dates
I took the liberty of adding dates that have a very close estimate from the Movement of the World. Judgment of said dates, and the not-so-clear dates can be found here. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 04:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Dates
I added 250 years onto 1078 AE,1588 CC and 1278 DR so my answer would have to be when Guild Wars 2 is and so should we change it to 1328 AE, 1838 CC and 1528 DR in stead of 1325 AE, 1835 AE and 1525 DR or are we going by roughly 250 Years - Giant Nuker 15:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * We were told "roughly 250 years" or something like that, meaning it could technically range from 1320 AE to 1330 AE, or maybe even a bigger difference, to be honest. We can't set a real year for GW2 just year, all dates after "Present day in Eye of the North." is approximations except for Ventari's death and Usoku coming into power. Hence all the "Best guess of" and (approx.) at the end of most things. -- Azazel the Assassin/ talk 22:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I was just wondering about that - Giant Nuker 01:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Time Travel
Based on this time line, when a Nightfall characters travels from Kamadan to Lions Arch they've traveled backwards in time 3 years. That doesn't make sense.
 * That bothers me as well.-- Shew 00:22, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Linsey has explained this before: The areas are "stuck in time" so to speak. This is because the areas are based on the campaign, not your own progress, and you can't have LA change from White Mantle controlled to lacking the White Mantle control because of new players. More or less explained in full here. -- Konig / talk 01:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I wish I could "suspend my disbelief." It's a linear storyline, and I understand that the quests are there for gameplay purposes, but being meticulous about my character's lore, it doesn't fit, which means I won't create a Nightfall character and go to Cantha or Tyria, even though I want to. >_<-- Shew 01:22, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

King Doric's Crowning..
Where is the date included in the timeline derived from? I don't recall ever seeing any source that specifies when precisely King Doric was crowned as king at the moment. Gmr Leon 13:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Historical Monument of King's Watch "Founded: Season of the Phoenix, 1 A.E --- On this site, more than one hundred years prior, the first king of the new Republic of Ascalon was crowned. It was dedicated, on this, the ninety-fifth day of the year, in the Season of the Phoenix, in honor of the passing of the greatest of all kings. This stone stands in memory to the first of all sons of Ascalon, King Doric. For it is through his sacrifice that we now live on. May his blood have been spilled for the good of all." Not exact, but best date. -- 16:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Prophecies and Factions
How can they be the same year ? I mean, I know Mhenlo is awesome and everything, but he can't be saving Tyria and Cantha at the same time, can he ? ôO May I ask where the dates come from ? I couldn't find anything in my game manuals^^ 195.132.195.136 21:08, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Dates come from official timelines from the manual (look harder - try the NF one). As for how they can be during the same year - it seems that Factions occurs right after Prophecies - with the events of Shing Jea occurring during the events of the Southern Shiverpeaks/Ring of Fire Islands. Also note that the end of Prophecies is "late into the season of the scion" - i.e., Autumn. So the events of Factions would, at least start, in Fall and end in/go through Winter. -- Konig/ talk 17:32, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right, NF manual had the answers^^ Well, I guess your explanation make sense since Tyrian characters arrive after the Shing Jea events. I suppose I hadn't thought about it enough >< Thank you for the clarification, I feel better^^ 213.166.213.254 14:36, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

War in Kryta
Any guesses when all this is going on? Obviously after the events of EOTN... I'm guessing 1280 DR -- hnzdvn 10:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * My guess is also 1080 AE. But it could be in 1079 AE. -- Konig / talk 19:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but 2 years seems like a better amount of time to start up an army. Well I suppose you could do it in a year, meh idk :P. --User Phnzdvn sig.png hnzdvn  21:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Technically, it would be 6 years, at least, 8 years at best. The War has been going on, more or less, since the end of Prophecies, which ended in 1072 AE. I surmise that the SB and the WM were both greatly crippled, and couldn't do much for a while, but we know that in 1078 AE, i.e., EN, there was a civil war as per the EN manual. -- Konig / talk 00:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, the alternate area found in the .dat had "1079 AE" appended to the end. Manifold [[Image:User_Manifold_Jupiter.jpg|19px]] 01:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but we don't have a D'Alessio Seaboard instance, and that mentioned instance is why I said it could be 1079 AE. Also note that it could be a flash-back instance, like in the BMPs. -- Konig / talk 04:21, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Konig, you are very wrong in your editing notes. The war has started recently. Basically, it was a small rebellion against the ruling power which is unfortunately(?) a well-known thing in RL. Now, if you'd remember that Salma declared war not so long ago, you'd know that 1079 AE is the true starting date of the civil war. I disagree with your edit as well. Everyone knows that it is the present day. I'm considering the undoing of your edit. --Thalador Doomspeaker 08:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh... the war starts in Prophecies... we take part in it as well. The EN manual states that there has been war since Dorian's death with warlords trying to take control of Kryta. The Declaration of War is the official start of the war for the royal family (i.e., Salma), not the true start of the war for the Shining Blade. I never said it wasn't the present day for the events we go through, but the lore event itself has been going on since 1072 AE. -- Konig / talk 03:03, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * i thought i remember Linsey saying some place that the war takes place 7 years after eye of the north, i seem to remember that being the reasoning behind why the gate to Boreal Station was working or something i dont really remember and i could be very wrong ill try and look it up... but that also means wading threw 9000 pages of archives...-[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 11:56, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Old discussion. We know the War in Kryta content takes place in 1079 AE. The event started in 1072 AE between the SB and WM, and it has been going on since then while we're off in Cantha and Elona. We only see a glimpse of it during EN. There's no explanation for why the Boreal Station asura gate is working, but it's assumed that it was fixed in the year since EN's events. -- Konig / talk 23:22, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

well i am going to resurrect it, via saying shouldn't we add some of the stuff that happens at the end of bfla? like the end of the liongard? - Zesbeer 09:22, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Ghosts of Ascalon Timeline
Since, I'm lazy, could someone update the timeline with this: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=218153&postcount=299? (Sidenote Kryta was an Elonian colony o.O Satrec Pylonag 02:03, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Kryta is Tyrian not Elonian. The Crystal Desert contained the only (known) Elonian colony of Elonia. Clearly something is incorrect, either the poster or the timeline. 2) This timeline only holds dates of GW1 and prior. So the timeline shouldn't be updated, as the pre-GW1 (and during GW1) stuff is already up there. -- Konig / talk 02:10, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * If you believe that we should wait until the actual book is out then why did you gleefully change around the GW2 timeline? He is just as reliable as the poster that showed the pre GW1 history.Satrec Pylonag 02:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Because 1) Ravious is more trustworthy (I've never heard of Ludmila, while Ravious is the main GW reporter for Kill Ten Rats). 2) There were far more changes and the GW2 timeline was full of approximations - i.e., speculation. If this did come from the iBook form of Ghosts of Ascalon, then it is far more accurate than we have, and even if it didn't we can undo that when the book comes out. The main difference is that the dates Ludmila gave are all pretty much the exact same as what we have, just a rewording. And that one line seems highly unlikely - though the book very well may disprove me. In which case then we can revert my edit. Until then, for this, better safe than sorry. The GW2 timeline was full of approximations and the information Ravious gave is just a better approximation if nothing else. -- Konig / talk 02:22, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I guess I understand your reasoning. Then we shall wait until it is official until put onto the wiki. Of course this won't stop me from making my own hypothesises about the possible consequences of an Elonian Kryta...Satrec Pylonag 02:28, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW, you don't have to summarize your edits. You just can if you want. -- Konig / talk 02:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The book is out and the timeline is not GW2. GW2 begins after the events in the book(s) and after the Guild Wars: Beyond events.  I believe we will see new GW1 content over the next months that includes a lot of the timeline events - at least those we can witness or in which we can participate.  Darcy 18:48, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The book is meant to be for GW2's lore. I don't think "a lot" is the right term. The Foefire, for instance is 20 years after the Searing - we will see the establishment of Ebonhawke and we could see the unification of Kryta, but that's not entirely likely (if we do, then we may see the Foefire). We most likely won't see Primordus awaken, or any event after that. -- Konig / talk 20:53, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

We need to Edit the time line to 1080ae because of hearts of the north etc.
 * Provide a source that Hearts of the North occurs in 1080 AE please. WiK takes place in 1079 AE and HotN occurs right after that. Nothing, as far as I know, states HotN is in 1080 AE. -- Konig / talk 02:57, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
