Since when has our canon ever aligned to the official one, simply because "that's the way it is"? We alter what we want because it makes for a better time, be it with the Divisional Split Theory or have player character rulers of kingdoms. We generally leave alone what is fine on its own, mind you. Which is to say, most the lore, obviously.

And in regards to time, it's just logical and realistic to have some sort of time flow, you know? We also like to interject some more down to earth logic and realism (in as far as a fantasy world with cow powered airships can go), so I'm not really understanding why something as ubitiquous as time itself should be exempt from that. The Fifth Age was different, because roleplay wasn't around, or wasn't in the form we know it to be, back when the initial game was launched. But 'twas certainly around for the shift. So why not keep a real track of time?

I also get that there's not an exceptional argument for it either, but I daresay this universe isn't as really well made as ASoIaF. If the Sixth Age would really end up lasting about three years real time, I'd be okay with that. But we can't know that, and previously we had thirteen years crammed into one in-universe years. It's a little excessive.
