The 4 of us were the UP kings until the bug allowed certain people to catch up. I remember the days when iron and me had level 22 covert and no one else even had level 21.
As for the first true number 1 in this game, it has to go to Fox, who got it on skill. The guys before him were either lucky, in Silent Todd's case hitting an admin account for 2.8 million naq when people were farming for 50k and of course ELUSIVE bought his rank.
You just have to say it was someone in Omega for number 1. LMAO, Omega aint everything ETL..you think it is, but it aint, there are some better people not in Omega that are better then some Omegans...
Having been around when Fox was #1, and having seen all the rank1's yea, I'd have to say that Fox was the first to get there by skill and fair play. But, I think that the first true "super account" has to go to _Apophis__.
I dont think you can really call someone with 50 multies fueling his account a "true first super account" lol.
I don't think he was ever proven to be a multi. Suspected, but not proven. Much like JUAN.
