UPDATE: GM Slekan announced that citizenship was updated with the date you become a citizen. It’s not backwards-compatible, though. So your date will show the first time you interact with the new citizen system via the CITIZEN command. You’ll want to know this because starting April 1, 2023, characters must have been a citizen of the town for at least 90 days to be eligible for town WPS, per GM Estild.

Citizenship Update
on 27 December 2022 6:54 PM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord Forum Area
in the mechanics categoryCitizenship has been updated to note the date you acquired it. Please note that historical data for this is not available so the date will be set the first time the citizenship system interacts with your character after the change was deployed on 12/27/2022.
You can view this date by using the citizen verb. This will set your date if it hasn’t been already.
Here is an example of the output:
>citizen
You currently have full citizenship in Teras Isle.
Citizenship was gained on or before 10/15/2022.
