I was on steam back with early half life 2 or around launch. I doubt it was the same account though.

If you have a real near-launch account somewhere it could be valuable, for what that's worth

Mine is from 2 months after launch, but I doubt it has any value. Plenty of people got HL2.

Maybe very early beta, I don't really remember how that worked.

Games like the Witcher 3, where the world is amazing but he is supposedly in a rush to save Ciri, he is lying there playing cards, like... "Wasn't i supposed to do something? oh, yeah... save the world"


Even beyond the need for personal growth, the plot is just right for the pacing of the game. Stuff has been in this uneasy stable state for 100 years and sure it could go down the tubes at any moment, but it doesn't seem that likely to fall apart right away. So it's urgent, but not so much that you question why you are helping random towns people or scouring the world for nuts.

Plus your awakening changes the world so it's also nice that it feels timely that you come onto these villages that are just now having issues and what not.

It's a great story for an open world game (well so far I just got a Switch myself a few weeks ago).

Also, if they were in a rush to stop Ganon, they would surely not wait 100 years to wake you up lol

Interesting that there's value in being near launch, My account is from 7 days after release; I think I installed it for Counter-strike or TFC, I can't quite remember now.

very nice summary of my last playthrough of w3.
my exact feeling. isn't there something urgent?!

I guess you have to enable monster scaling for the whole world being open to you after finishing the main quest.
Actually that's quite the idea.

Basically people just want accounts with very low steam IDs. A 4 digit steam ID is pretty valuable, 5 digit is like "thats cool", anything more is pretty useless.

That said, I suppose you probably had to be in beta to have a 4-digit ID. Obviously there are very few 3-digit ids, and I'd assume all the 2-digit ones are basically valve/ex-valve employees.

Yeah, like I said my account is 7 days after release and is 17 digits. (Which actually makes me question the correlation between account age and id).

no idea how to check it, but my account's 13th was on 12/21/17 . Kind of old, but I'd assume not super early (hl2)

I can reliably inform you that your account is not 17 digits

The URL to your account is not your steamID

linky?

Your account was created a little over 1 year after launch.

Ah nah that's it then; I was looking at Steam Gauge for join date which lists the steam profile identifier/url as 'Steam ID'.

I feel like once every few years people mention low steam IDs, then I get confused until I remember there's a 2nd older steam ID and wonder why the hell anyone cares about an ID that's pretty difficult to see.

EDIT: Also

Your account was created a little over 1 year after launch.


If this is referring to me you're looking at the wrong account (the one that has the /id/logo URL isn't me) my account is 15 years old, not 14.

There are 2 different IDs, that's where the confusion comes from

Why is nobody crying keep politics out of sports while NK and SK are politicising the winter Olympics?
Ooh yes, because it's not about partisanship, racism, corruption or the like, but world peace.

Doesn't work either.
