why do all of the new members have their ID name as numbers?
(i dont know if this should go into #Feedback, #Bungie, or # Community but whatever)
I know how the number is given/made (if you go to your profile page the last 7 numbers of the URL is your number), but i have to ask why are all of the new member's ID names not the same as their user name?

1 ReplyIt looks like newer members have seven digits, but older members have less.

5 RepliesEvery user has what's called a "bungie.net membership id" or "mid" - that's the number you see. Mine is 1, for example. In order to streamline the create new user dialog, we don't ask for a unique name during account creation, we just ask for a display name and email, and set your unique ID to that unique number until you try and change it later. This way, you won't ever get a "that name has already been used" error trying to create an account, which, to some people, might be frustrating enough to abandon the account creation process.

They haven't switched it to their username. You can switch your ID once every 7 days, it's just the default when new accounts are created.
