    Logged into an older character on the Phinigel server, checked parcels and sorted by date sent and found this gem.

    Just wondering what would cause something like this to happen?

    Unix time is measured in seconds from january 1 1970. So if the value for time overflows or otherwise bugs it may display as december 31 1969.

    That makes sense I suppose. Wonder why it chose 7pm on Dec 31 1969 though and not 23:59. Anyhow, thanks for the reply. Clears things up a bit :)

    That is probably the offset between your time zone and UTC
