This is the thread where I will continuously compile all the major firsts of There since public beta one (PB1). Keep an eye on this post as I will be putting new firsts as I become aware of them. (Firsts should be documented by date somewhere in the official forums, another reputable website, over here on There Universe, or by significant witness testimony. I will be the final judge, and will make all efforts to be fair and make sure the correct Therians get properly recognized for their deeds. You will notice I have not assigned names to some firsts as I have not yet determined who it was. Please reply to this thread below to inform me of new firsts, or let me know who to fill in the blanks with. In order to keep this thread clean for my research, all pending firsts will remain in this thread while everything else will either be moved to its own thread, or to the thread titled "< Misc. Firsts >". Due to time constraints, the only firsts that will make the list below are ones that I deem to be especially significant or interesting in some way. All other firsts can be found in the "Misc. Firsts" thread.

I guess people in the new beta test program need not apply for new Firsts here since they get to see everything before the rest of us...
