I don't recall the exact date I started, but the first character release I recognized as a character release event was:
Daywalker
The first release after I joined the forums:
aesthetocyst said: vcorsac said: ... I think 3* Daken's date is wrong.... I think you're right, that it's wrong.2/4/14 is too early. The lazy / gold / classic characters started later that spring. Probably a typo by whoever it was that compiled that data.Unfortunately, the compiled list of new release PvEs was trashed by the forum port (sorry, rakingucd), sor can't follow hat bread crumb trail. And a "feature" of this totally aweseom forum platform is to date all older posts by only month and year, so N&A indicates he was announced in "March 2014" and the character thread shows much discussion in "April 2014".The old event threads are just about impossible to sort out ... title formatting all gone, and now they are in order of last reply ... can't find the release PvE.BUT.... can find his first PvP, which ran 5/16-5/19, discussed here:https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/7660/fatal-attraction-s1-daken-event-may-16-may-19#latestSo he was released before 5/16/14. But discussion there recounts release of covers having been screwed up.Looking at a calendar, Thursdays in May 2014 prior to the 16th were 5/1/14, 5/8/14, and 5/15/14.Obviously 5/15/14 is too late if his PvP was the next day. If it was a weeklong release event, it probably wasn't 5/8/14.How does 5/1/14 sound?

aesthetocyst said: Quebbster said: ... I don't think the dates on the list are very accurate for those early releases though. There is a note above the list I presented, cautioning about those early dates, and referring to the original thread it was posted in for the nature of those dates: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/608781/#Comment_608781Essentially, those early dates are the dates their character threads were created. The character thread is a convention started by the players, not the devs. Those early pioneers started compiling and posting this information very early in the game's life, but the threads were made when someone had the time, and for the characters that were in-game at launch, those threads would have been made weeks later.That said, everything from Nov 2013 on should be accurate, except for messy cases like 3Daken.If you have corrections, please do share them! The forum port reduced all the dates on old posts to month/year only (jeebus aich kee-rist!), so we can't even go back and dig up accurate dates any more.I suppose I should bring that list up to date .... maybe later today

Quebbster said: I know Original Black Widow was released after the start of the game, I remember her release. I Think Iron Man 40 was Before her. Looking back through the Announcements forum, the earliest mention I can find of a new character is **Captain America** on October 18th, 2013. This was very soon after the release of the game and may in fact be the first character added. A week later, on October 25th, Moonstone was mentioned. On November 4th, a week later, they mention Iron Man 40, I Think this was when he was released. Then it's Original Black Widow on November 15th (at this Point I know I was playing). On November 24th, there's a mention of a Newcomers tournament that has Iron Man, OBW, Moonstone, Captain America and Modern Hawkeye boosted. I guess that means Hawkeye was also added after the release of the game. Also on November 24th, Invisible Woman was announced. So let's try to apply that to your list!In the game since release? ***, Loki, Dark Reign, 10/10/13 *, Black Widow, Modern, 10/16/13 *, Hawkeye, Classic, 10/16/13 *, Iron Man, Model 35, 10/16/13 *, Storm, Modern, 10/16/13 **, Spider-Man, Bag-Man, 10/17/13 *, Venom, Dark Avengers Spider-Man, 10/17/13 **, Storm, Classic, 10/18/13 ***, Ragnarok, Dark Avengers Thor, 10/29/13 **, Wolverine, Astonishing X-Men, 10/29/13 ***, Spider-Man, Classic, 10/31/13 **, Magneto, Marvel NOW!, 11/02/13 ***, Hood, The, Classic, 11/05/13 ***, Black Widow, Grey Suit, 11/09/13 ****, Wolverine, X-Force, 11/09/13 **, Bullseye, Dark Avengers Hawkeye, 11/11/13 ***, Magneto, Classic, 11/11/13 ***, Doctor Doom, Classic, 11/18/13 **, Daken, Dark Avengers Wolverine, 11/20/13 *, Juggernaut, Classic, 11/20/13 *, Yelena Belova, Dark Avengers Widow, 11/20/13**, Thor, Marvel NOW!, 01/28/14Early releases: **, Hawkeye, Modern, 11/02/13, released early October 2013? **, Steve Rogers, Captain America, 10/18/13 **, Moonstone, Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel, 10/25/13 ***, Iron Man, Model 40, 11/04/13 **, Black Widow, Original, 11/15/13The rest of the list: ****, Invisible Woman, Classic, 11/27/13 ***, Punisher, The, Dark Reign, 12/05/13 ****, Devil Dinosaur, Gigantic Reptile, 12/06/13 ***, Hulk, The, Indestructible, 12/19/13 ***, Wolverine, Patch, 01/08/14 **, Ares, Dark Avengers, 01/10/14 ***, Daredevil, Classic, 01/24/14***, Psylocke, Classic, 02/11/14 ***, Black Panther, T'Challa, 02/21/14 ***, Thor, Modern, 03/05/14 ***, Steve Rogers, Super Soldier, 03/20/14 ***, Human Torch, Classic, 04/01/14 ***, Sam Wilson, Falcon, 04/14/14 ***, She-Hulk, Modern, 04/28/14 ***, Storm, Mohawk, 04/28/14***, Daken, Classic, 05/08/14 ***, Sentry, Dark Avengers, 06/16/14 ****, Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., 06/23/14 **, Human Torch, Johnny Storm, 07/04/14 ***, Captain Marvel, Modern, 07/16/14 ***, Deadpool, It's Me, Deadpool!, 07/26/14 ***, Beast, Classic, 07/31/14 ***, Colossus, Classic, 09/07/14 **, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, 09/15/14 ***, Doctor Octopus, Otto Octavius, 09/24/14 ****, Thor, Goddess of Thunder, 10/02/14 ***, Blade, Daywalker, 10/23/14 ***, Mystique, Raven Darkholme, 11/05/14 ***, Gamora, Guardians of the Galaxy, 11/18/14 ***, Rocket & Groot, Most Wanted, 11/18/14 ****, Elektra, Unkillable, 11/19/14 ***, Luke Cage, Hero For Hire, 12/23/14 ***, Squirrel Girl, Unbeatable, 01/14/15 ****, Star-Lord, Legendary Outlaw, 01/26/15 ***, Cyclops, Uncanny X-Men, 02/12/15 ***, Iron Fist, Immortal Weapon, 02/23/15 ***, Vision, Android Avenger, 03/06/15 ****, Professor X, Charles Xavier, 03/09/15 ***, Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel, 03/23/15 ****, Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, 03/30/15 ***, Quicksilver, Pietro Maximoff, 04/07/15 ****, Iron Man, Hulkbuster, 04/22/15 ***, Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff, 04/22/15 ***, Bullseye, Classic, 05/20/15 ****, Carnage, Cletus Kassady, 06/02/15 ****, The Thing, Classic, 06/22/15 ****, Ant-Man, Scott Lang, 06/30/15 ****, Jean Grey, All New X-Men, 07/21/15 ****, Deadpool, X-Force, 07/31/15 ****, Sam Wilson, Captain America, 07/31/15 *, Spider-Man, Original, 08/03/15 ****, Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards, 08/19/15 ****, Iceman, All New X-Men, 08/26/15 *****, Silver Surfer, Skyrider, 09/04/15 ****, Cyclops, Classic, 10/05/15 ****, Red Hulk, Thunderbolt Ross, 10/05/15 *****, Wolverine, Old Man Logan, 10/05/15 ****, X-23, All-New Wolverine, 10/21/15 *****, Jean Grey, Phoenix, 11/02/15 ****, Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, 11/18/15 ****, Hulk, The, Totally Awesome, 11/19/15 ****, Miles Morales, Spider-Man, 12/16/15 ****, Venom, Eddie Brock, 12/17/15 *****, Spider-Man, Back in Black, 01/13/16 ****, Nova, Sam Alexander, 01/21/16 ****, Spider-Gwen, Gwen Stacy, 02/01/16 *****, Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, 02/18/16 ****, Quake, Daisy Johnson, 03/01/16 ****, Punisher, The, MAX, 03/14/16 ****, Howard the Duck, A Duck, 04/01/16 ****, Drax, The Destroyer, 04/12/16 *****, Iron Man, Mark XLVI, 04/28/16 *****, Steve Rogers, First Avenger, 04/28/16 ****, Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, 04/28/16 ****, War Machine, James Rhodes, 05/05/16 ****, Kate Bishop, Hawkeye, 05/27/16 ****, Moon Knight, Marc Spector, 06/13/16 ****, Peggy Carter, Captain America, 06/23/16 *****, Hulk, The, Bruce Banner, 07/05/16 ****, Wasp, Janet van Dyne, 07/21/16 *****, Black Bolt, Blackagar Boltagon, 07/29/16 ****, Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew, 07/29/16 *****, Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, 09/02/16 ****, Luke Cage, Power Man, 09/19/16 ****, Gwenpool, Gwen Poole, 10/10/16 ****, Blade, Modern, 10/19/16 *****, Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, 11/01/16 ***, Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, 11/01/16 ****, Venom, Agent Venom, 11/16/16 ****, Medusa, Inhuman Queen, 12/01/16

If you hover your mouse over the "May 2014" text on the post, it should show a tooltip with a more exact date. In this case May 9, 2014 11:23PM (at least according to my time zone settings).You should be able to do the same for other threads if you're data mining. Please remind again how to 'hover' on a touch interface?

Didn't Loki get a makeover early on? That was Before my time, but it could explain why his thread was the first - people wanted to talk about the new version and how it compared to the old.
