15 years ago, someone picked up Minecraft for the very first time. Who was it?

My father was actually one of the first 100 to play. I remember the digital home video tapes he would show me of him and his friend creating an account. The account he has is long gone due to an old hard drive failure but he was the person who got me playing in 2010 and even went with me to minecon 2011. Unfortunately, I don't play anymore but I will still login periodically to see what is up. I am just stunned to see a video like this about the first Minecraft player to play. It really gives me a reminder that my dad is the reason I found the game and made so many memories on. Also great video! -creator of thepositivebot

I have a few questions 1. Is fartron on the early players list? 2. What user IDs are the first few people on the early players list?

You do some absolutely amazing research. I'm glad you've grown so much over the past few years, and you deserve even more than what you already have. Seriously great work, and thank you for crediting your sources throughout the research process. Far too often, slick YouTube videos like this neglect to appreciate the work that goes into such niche research.
