I posted a comment on the original Dust514.net-it was the 4th or 5th comment and I used my PSN name.

So that makes Global Rage the oldest DUST514 character.

"We will shake the heavens, and they shall know our names"

Now that is incorrect There are DUST 514 characters in our system that are 2 days older than Global Rage.

Love the date mix up. Not to ride you to hard, but this is why dust has so many problems. Lack of attention choose a date format.

There's no date mix-up. We ran a database check, according to which the first player-created DUST 514 characters were born on the 26th of June, 2012. - there are accounts older than that, but an account is not a character. And if there's still something wrong, the search borked. My first characters were born slightly later, on the 3rd of July.

That's probably the day of the mass character deletion/reset to sync the Eve and Dust player name back ends. Which yes, is a pretty good answer to the thread title question. There were people playing a good bit before then, though. I got in back in May, and I think there were a few "lottery winners" who got in maybe a month or two earlier by random selection through the PSN.

No offense Archduke, but this is not true. My first Dust character was created May 18th, 2012. He was named Forlorn (I didn't have a last name then). The following month there was a full character reset, and my character was given the last name Destrier. This date was confirmed with Sony Playstation as the day I first downloaded/installed Dust, and I logged in and created my first character immediately after.

For the first 3 months of closed beta, there were full character resets and all players/characters had to pick new names each month. The fact that I didn't have a "last name" for my character for the first month does not change the fact that this is the same character on the same account, with an added surname.

EDIT #1: Following your logic, the June date does not make sense unless people used the exact same name in June, and again in July and August when we had the additional full resets occurred.

Even so, my character had the same name - just no surname. In fact, if you count the full resets as new characters each time, then yes the oldest characters are dated for the move to TQ which was January 2013, and so Archduke would still be wrong.


EDIT #2: There may have only been resets in June and July of that year, and not August. I am fairly certain there were 2, and only reasonably certain there were 3.
