Question about Alt creation date

fgoron2000 · October 2023

Is there any way to find the IRL date that a specific alt was created? I'm not looking for the amount of game time that an alt was played, but just the date that it was created. I play on PC so if there's not a way in-game, then maybe there's an addon that can do it? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

an addon might be possible, but only if you had said addon when you created the character (i dont know of any specifically that do this, but i know there are a bunch out there that can save "notes" which you could have made a note of the create date if you were like writing a bio)

as far as im aware there is no way to check when specifically the character was created, and /played only gives the amount of time logged in on the character

Alright, well thanks anyway, I appreciate it

I don't know which one is it but you can check the first character-bound achievement that alt earned.

that likely wont be 100% accurate unless you did a public dungeon group boss on the same day you created the character

When ZOS deleted individual characters' achievements, they removed any functionality of that sort. And for that to satisfy the OP's condition, the alt would have to have gotten an achievement on the first day it was created, and the alt would have to have been created after Account Wide Achievements was implemented.

Progress achievements for the Prophet/Harborage story are character specific, if the alt is old enough that they started there.

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Players Helping Players section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.

there are still quite a lot of character specific achievements

public dungeon group bosses are one of them, they are all specific to each character, so if you killed a public dungeon group boss on the same day you created the character it would still act as a timestamp in that regards

Can you show us how the OP can find out what public dungeon they cleared on the first day they created the character? I believe that's what they're trying to find out. And I'm not sure about anyone else, but I know for a fact that I wasn't killing public dungeon group bosses on any of my characters' first days.

i clearly said if

if they didnt, then no there is no way to track character creation date, technically speaking there never has even before account wide achievements, as you could have created the character and then immediately logged out (which would have applied to any character created before the cp achievements, and before you had enough cp for those achievements)

since account wide achievements, the player would have to make a point to do a public dungeon group event for example on the first day

so unless the player made some extra effort to track the date (either in game by doing a character specific achievement on day 1, or manually recording the date externally to eso), there is no 100% accurate way to know the character creation date
