Seconding Raul here. Nowhere in lore does it state we are now in Year 3 of the Sixth Age. Real world time does not correlate with in-universe time. Otherwise, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire would be a very different book series, considering the massive gaps between each book's publication.

For the sake of people not arguing over what year we're actually in, it would be best to leave the exact dates ambiguous. Everyone has their own views on the current time in Gielinor. Heck, just look at when people timeskip their characters' offspring. Some of my characters, who have barely aged, have met the great-grandchildren of some of their fellows.

That's just my opinion, though.
