Blizzard also uses a style like this. While it's great for some use cases, it really sucks for others.
In Blizzard's implementation, I can't add a friend by just knowing their name, I need their id number as well, and the process for finding it isn't exactly front-and-center.
- ulzeraj 9y agoI remember when I’ve switched to bnet ID and my tag became username#1337. People sometimes ask me if I’ve bought the name or something like that.
- Ambroos 9y agoI got Ambroos#2772 or #2727 (can't remember, it's been a while). Which is fun, because I have a thing with 27 as it's the birthday of all my grandparents (moms side) grandchildren.
- Zekio 9y agowell with Discord, you can literally pay to get a different number of your choosing if you pay for their subscription service, as long as the number isn't taken, you can pick whatever number your want as long as it is 4 characters long of course
- lbill 9y agoI really like Blizzard's solution : {$Username}#{$number} is very practical! It complicates thing a bit when you want to share your contact info to a friend, or when you try to remember a specific battletag, but it solves the uniqueness problem. And to be honest, on most sites I end up using numbers at the end of my username anyways, such as "Username0037".
