HI NOOBS
1st January of 1970 is called "EPOCH"
It's the default date you get when you create an empty "Date" object in many OOP languages (like Java).
Some information was missing about the real date in Eurobattle accounts database, so Warcraft3 engine is displaying some default value. And that default value is the EPOCH. AMAZING HU?
You're lucky guys I saw that thread, which had ZERO INTEREST before I came in and showed you the light.
BYE NOOBS
ps : I simplified a tad the explanation for ya, nubz
