Make Forum Join Date Your Acc Creation Date

[Darkzero3802 615]

There are quite afew ppl (myself included) that joined the forum well after making their APB acc and playing in game and I think your forum join date should reflect your actual acc creation date. This would better show veterans and new players in the forum and allow for new players to be more easily found and helped as well as show who the vets are that have supported this game all this time.

It would. Not only could we tell the diff but LO could give out special titles as well.

[BrandonBranderson 672]

This would be a pretty good time to do it too since a lot of people just got their original accounts back.

i started playing a while ago and only discovered the forums recently

[Kommaranda 44]

[SelttikS 224]

I want mine changed to whatever the current date is. Like always. Because why does it matter?

Judging by the poll so far, the entire community does.

I would like two dates.  One for Joined Forum and one for Joined Game.

We should add birthdays as well.

 

[Caisey 22]

It already does right?

[CookiePuss 5384]

No wait, what we SHOULD add is in game threat... so we know whose ideas to ignore.

I'm sure you guys would love some old players from War Rock and Knight Online to join the forums with join dates from 2008...

i just tried to understand back then why Join Dates of Account change between the game and the forum, i mean, if your account got registered/created that date why would we need 2 different dates?

[neophobia 216]

They used to use account creation dates to verify you at support so i think so i think that could be a bad idea. (although that was quite weird to begin with)

 

idk if LO still does this

...i imagine they wouldn't...

[KyoukiDotExe 231]

I don't see an added value to the creation date.

Mostly technical reasons - the forum software (IPBoard) has its own date for account creation, each game has its own account creation date (APB, FE), and there is a GamersFirst account which ties them all together for authentication/login purposes which also has its own registration date. How far do we go here? What about dates for accounts like Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation?
