On an unrelated topic (Unique IDs)

I'm not an expert, but I've read that there's no way to delete accounts, they just go in to an "absent member" state after being inactive.


Yeah, I think the accounts just go inactive. Might be a backend database reason for that -- I imagine these systems are fabulously complex.

As a side note, did anyone else notice their user ID change with the launch of Bungie.next? Mine somehow jumped by 53. Weird.


No accounts are ever deleted. Indeed, bungie.next doesn't delete anything - even if you edit a forum post, bungie.next keeps a copy of the old entry. That's proven handy, btw.

And the user ids changed because we imported all the old users accounts into our brand new Account system that all our services will share.
