After a quick google, a games forum brings this up from a bug in a games server:
"For the curious, 49710 is derived from 2^32 (Largest 32-bit integer), or 4,294,967,296, divided by 86400 (60*60*24 - the number of seconds in a day). So, if for whatever reason the game thinks that you've played a character more recently than the time you're looking at the login screen (Probably due to small client/server time differences), it wraps the time around to the highest number it can use (49710)."
Think apt-get is thinking I was in the future :O ?
