Fade said:i might be a random asking this, but what does it mean when a v1 is not reset and why is that a bad thing ?
Declan said:v1's (version 1) are accounts on the original Xbox, not the 360, the one that came out in 2001.
Now, I'll tell you why v1's are related to spaced out gamertags. There was a glitch or an exploit rather, a few years ago that allowed spaces in gamertags to actually count as characters, this allowed many OG's to be created with spaces in them, for example S u, or "L e m o n". Microsoft quickly caught on and discontinued this idea of spaces being counted as characters.
Last year, Microsoft started to delete v1 gamertags that were inactive for long periods of time. And so gamertags like Lemon, which was a v1 that was inactive was deleted, and the tag "L e m o n" I mentioned earlier put dibs on changing to Lemon. Because spaces do not count as characters, Lemon is unavailable to anyone besides whoever owns "L e m o n".
So, people like to buy spaced gamertags and hope for resets on the v1's (unspaced original xbox) gamertags in order to get there hands on a nice tag. Like S u becoming Su.
That's a short form of the story.
