Have you ever seen a 4 digit steam ID?

I used to hava a 5 dig back then, you dont see 4 digs as much as you used to.
 
The time difference between a 4 and a 5 dig is a couple of days. (maybe hours?) I can't remember.
 
honestly a lot of those low digit ones have been sold around and stuff like that, just for bragging rights.
but the lowest i've seen was a few 4 digits
 
The low steam digits means you've transfered your counter-strike from retail and registered the key with steam.

All though Junk is right low digits means veterancy and people noticed long id's ment you where a noob (pardon cs term) and people even though they played counter-strike from the day of the switch to today and did not register a cd key from there retail box copy but instead purchanced steam stores veterans still regard them as newbies, so they've hunted down a retail box version of counter-strike 1.0, css is 2.0 cs on steam is 1.6 and they registered that copy with there steam account and recevied low digit steamid.

Food for thought, counter-strike from version 1.0 to 1.5 WONID, 1.6 Counter-strike SteamID and 2.0 Counter-Strike Source SteamID
 
I once had a 2 digit one... but those darn punks stole it off me :(

Wow, that means that you would have had to have purchased it that morning of the launch. Like Christy said, she bought it the day of the launch but she had to work and by the time she got home from work and bought it it was already up to 5 digit, is that right Christy?


" qoute- ONE- yea i have a 4 digit one that i dont use anymore. It has CS 1.6 and HL1 "

One, why don't you use it??

Actually it was a time thing, whoever registered first. If you found a old copy, you'd still get a new steam id. There were ony 999 3 digs's, 9999 4 dig's, etc. Those are all used up, can't get one that already exists.
 
I think I used to have a 4 digit steam, but like... I forgot my password :S XD
 
he was just one of the first people to sign up for steam when it was released. he probably played CS 1.6 though. Remember the original half-life games were not through steam.

Christy is a guy :D but on some wiki theres a timeframe for the steam id's and how long each digit length was available. But I believe most of the 1/2 digits are all just test accounts or valve employees and 3 digits are beta testers.

sorry Christy, I actually checked out your profile to try and get some clue before I assumed you were a female but couldn't find anything, i thought I was safe based on your avatar.

anyone know the date that the steam IDs were released? Christy? do you remember?

*edit- I did some research it appears to have been September 12, 2003
