Holy shit, I completely missed this during all my editing.

From what it seems, Landers use the same/highly similar calendar. There's been no mention of them having a different measurement of time. (That, or they don't use specific measurements and instead go by "feel", or get accustomed to certain annual events like Halloween, Snowfell, Summerfell, etc.)

You're forgetting something -- not all the Adventurer Cities appeared at once. Which likely means that areas may not have been well-developed at the initial release, and were expanded on as the game grew. They might have only started with two player cities, and a limited amount of dungeons/developed areas. Around 24 years after Adventurers appeared, the first expansion pack was released -- perhaps the Landers managed to (somewhat permanently) push back the monster hordes and set up colonies/towns/etc. there as the Adventurers pressed on as well.

The Ancients also suddenly spawned after the Landers moved to Wen, so they could also have assisted in defeating monster hordes, which are likely the biggest deterrents to colonization. Furthermore, I'm quite certain that there had to be some Landers already living on the continent -- otherwise, since the Six Scrapped Princess were living throughout the world. The Land of Wen is an entire continent, and not just the North American server (the NA server is North Wen). So there may have been some small pockets of indigenous peoples living there already when the Yureddo settlers came.
