Hey this is the previous owner of relax! I was on an old 2013 macbook at the time and have privated the video of me actually sniping it. It was pretty crazy. The previous owner who owned "kaneki" at the time reached out to me and said he was trying to get it transfered to another account. It was pretty legendary at the time but all good things come to an end when I was dumb enough to get it stolen from me. I was 14 and dumb. Amazing Video!
I actually found a weird guy recently, a guy named reme constantly switches back and forth between reme (and another name I'm not sure I can write on youtube) since 2015
This is a crazy video, I remember these days like it was my prime, I got Minecraft for PC in Feb 2014 and a year later, the new names update dropped, and I remember MCMarket and the website mcsniper
Its amazing how much people care about a string of characters on a game account. I just want a name that fits my personality, sounds cool, and isn't crammed with random characters (and hopefully is easy enough to type/come up with a nickname for). The obsession over having 3 random characters or having some random English word as your username for no reason other than "ItS oG" is so stupid.
This really reminds me of high frequency trading firms (HFTs). I bet one day people will have to buy proxies in the same data center with mojang servers to lower latency as much as possible.
My friend lost the acc Christmas, sasuke and some other two letters and he used to own a one letter and lost it all except for a two letter because he didnt migrate them
@@lifehackeriscoolwhy are you lying bro? For 1; Christmas has been on the exact same account since its creation. 2; you can’t snipe 2 letter accounts. 3; all 1-char accounts are locked and when they weren’t they were all in the hands of known people, you supposed ‘friend’ not being one of them.
@ANJGBH I'm not a minecraft nerd, I'm just telling you what my friend said, he still owns a two letter and he wasn't bothered to migrate any of his accounts and lost them all
@ANJGBH he used to collect rare users, even in games like roblox where he had rlly rare names such as maniac and even 3 letter roblox names which he showed
I remember getting the username Dweem back in 2021, changed my user like 7 times and finally grabbed it back end of 2023 and i haven't changed it since. Though getting called a dream stan every 5 minutes annoys me, idc.
im a individual sniper, and got the name "Sifa" will say i was the one who found the new method 5 secs b4 name came out you spam refresh on the page, and when it hits that exact time you stop refreshing, i made a script to automatically paste the name in and grab it, sadly doesnt work anymore but i got a cool name and thats all that mattered to me in the end
Quitting MC, selling my OG and coming back to the game years later makes me realize how great Minecraft as a game is. This side of Minecraft that you talk throughout the video is a horribly toxic, lawless wasteland of roleplayers and dark room enthusiast. That doesn’t go without saying that really was a crazy era of Minecraft that I look back on quite often

26:08 Small correction, besides a couple test sniped semis/3 chars while starting, which used to be worthless, every name I got was full access and not SFA. Tempus only got a couple names at the start and showed that it was possible and then he disappeared. After I started sniping, cheerful ninja failed almost all of their snipes to me with a few of them going to either Soggeh or Poseidon. As far as I know, CN realized blocking wasn't as effective anymore and shifted towards using cheap UFA accounts they bought in the past. It didn't work though and they still lost all of their snipes and shutdown. Ninja later ended up reusing the accounts and sniped under the name 'Dragonz' impersonating my mspaint skin but pretended it wasn't him. I never found out how many accounts CN used though. Ninja would message/interrogate me asking me questions to figure out why he was losing and I got the impression he was using 5-10x more accounts compared to me. My sniping involved some 'methods', but they were not hidden or impressive. You didn't need a lot of accounts and the rate limits didn't stop anything. CN stopped just before the API changes and I quit shortly after the API changes because it made things a lot more strict. Thats when the SFA era actually began and the only thing that mattered was how many accounts you had. Also similar to games pass, after June 2022, majority of gift card purchases were not $30 and were instead purchased from Turkey/Argentina for
@@Endspi it’s semi-og. words that are used often like “run” or “sprint” are considered og. variations such as “running” or “sprinting” are considered “high-tier” semi-ogs, since they are commonly used but are also a different tense. low-tier semi-ogs are ones like “twills”, which is a different tense of the word “twill”. “twill” could be considered either a low-tier or medium-tier semi-og.
I had the account “An” bought it for about 800$ back in 2016 had it for about 7 months until mojang banned a ton of OG accounts that were sold in the past i lost multiple accounts that day it was rough but this is the one i miss the most
and another note on that sniper who changed the skin’s, it was more like 80 accounts some of the other accounts were just friends who copied the skin at the time
and another reason prices skyrocketed in 2020 is cause everyone had that stimulus money so more people had 1k+ to throw on an account and alot of fraud going on which is rampant on OGU and MCM
@ sorry to tell you but “Owen” scammed you or whoever sold it to you, there was a lot of scamming going on that last two weeks before they got locked, it probably got locked because he was trying to sell it to so many people, he sold it to me about 8 months before that and then we were fighting back and forth with the TID

Beside being OG, the price tag (a speculative market like CSGO) is also a reason why they obsess over these.

what happened to accounts that didn't migrate in a microsoft account?
they're gone! the names haven't been released yet though
As a hand sniper myself, i go for 4l letters as they can be hard but easy at the same time, i sniped a good one recently Khut
in a way every username is rare though, if only you can have it
making DaQa the most common Minecraft username, as it was once the username of 30+ accounts simultaneously
my igns are "decayer" and "intimidar" (intimidate in portuguese) so although not very desired names, i still feel quite happy
You should make a Minecraft cape video would be super interesting has very similar lore to the name situation
