As much as I would want it, I sadly don't see them putting in the effort. If the dev team sees this thread and decides to do something with it - which I sincerely hope they will - then likely it will be with the newest content due in late summer/early fall. We might see a date being affixed to that, but even that is a question without answer. It would be a lot easier if someone from the dev team popped up in this thread and said "we should have affixed dates to story content a lot earlier, from now on we'll do it", but I'm not holding my breath.

And when Doc cures Nem'ro, Kaylio is hasn't even met the agent yet But then of course you'd get Spoiler WTH did the JK do for all that time That's not exactly true Spoiler The IA meets Watcher 2, not Watcher 1. Then when Doc brings Kaliyo to the JK's ship, he states that Nemro is her former boss, meaning she's already left with the IA at that point. I always took it as the events of the various chapter happening simultaneously but with the different characters not necessarily being on the same planets at the exact same time (so everyone's chapter 1 is the same year, everyone's chapter 2 as well...) Spoiler We know for instance : - that the Trooper and Smuggler arrive on Ord Mantell approximately at the same time as you can see the smuggler's ship at the end of the first cutscene in the trooper's story, while Corso references the trooper's walker being attacked by the separatists in the smuggler's story. - that the JK's arrives on Tython shortly before the JC as the Fleshraiders attack begins at the begining of the JK's story while it's already started in the JC's story - that Baras trying to kill the SW probably happens very shortly after the JK is freed from Vitiate's influence and leaves with Scourge, otherwise there would be no need for the SW to become the new Wrath. - that the SW goes to Voss slightly before the JK because they both deal with Sel-Makor, who is sealed in the JK's storyline - that the BH goes to Corellia before the other classes as they deal with Janarus and then the JC and Trooper both have to meet with Saresh who became the new Chancellor. And the JK was probably on Corellia before the JC and Trooper as they don't meet with either Janarus or Saresh, so probably between Janarus death / resignation and Saresh becoming the new Chancellor - that the SW deals with Baras before the SI gets to Thanaton as he's still alive. And that while the SW was busy with Baras, the JK was taking care of Vitiate. I've probably missed a few references though. As for the OP, yep that'd be nice to have an official timeline
In need of more Arcann, Aric, Torian, Vector, and a lot, lot, lot more Theron. There's nothing like geting too much Theron My characters

The Sith Inquisitor probably arrives on Korriban a few months before the Warrior; when the Inquisitor is shipped in, widening the selection criteria and bringing in slaves and alien scum is a brand new development that the overseers are shocked and horrified by; Harkun getting such a creature to train is treated as fairly unprecedented. By the time of the Warrior story Tremel has had time to form a plan to try to push back against it.If I'm remembering right and Vemrin has been there for six months, then thats probably the rough time difference.

And yes, it would be nice to have a more definite timeline in an MMORPG, just for once. The only absolute timeline information we have in-game is "you slept in carbonite for five years". I was obviously not suggesting they raise the fee for this idea to be implemented -_-
