Account Username?
Okay, it's been a while since this feature has been implemented, and I'm curious how many people now play the main Cantr game (not the forums) using the username option. Or are there other players like me who keep it old school and still use the number system?

Re: Account Username?
See, when the feature was implemented, I literally that that I would for sure use it. when I tried it, though, it didn't feel quite right. So, numbers. Which is odd for me.

Re: Account Username?
Both. I'm too lazy to change the autofilled, and too used to use the numbers.
Buuuuuut, my id number in cantr it's too similar to my father's identity number, so I mistake them a lot (it's like... my id is AABCBD and my father's id starts with AABAC...) so a lot of times I just use my user name...

Oh my god. There have been so many occasions that I've mixed up my school lunch number and my Cantr number >.< I was so mixed up once that I thought my Cantr account was deleted for some reason, so I was panicking to General Support. Crazyyyy.
/edit/
Not to mention... my lunch number is only five digits, and the cantr number is six...

Re: Account Username?
I have a username but I'm more likely to use the number instead, because I had years to memorize it.

I've been using this nickname in various places since before that band even existed... Thank you for letting me know this is a thing. I shouldn't be surprised. A lot of other bands have also taken their titles from The Neverending Story.
Definitely not my sort of music.

Re: Account Username?
How long has this been a thing?
Not that I'd use it anyway. My account number has been with me longer than any on screen username I've used...

Re: Account Username?
I didn't play too long, yet, and my username is shorter, so I use that one

This. I didn't know I could... Would have done it when I came back.
Too late now, I memorised my number again.

Glad I'm not the only codger here who didn't know it existed.
