3 years on the B-net (reply)

But I'm an 11 year at heart :) Been playing since '02.

Same here. Kind of a bummer but around the time of Reach I forgot about my old B.net account and relinked my email with a new one. I can still look up the stats for my old gamertag dating back to Halo 2's release date, but I suppose that old B.net account is long gone or floating around somewhere in the cold, dark, ethereal depths of the Bungie servers.

shhhhhh! good times! (reply)

7 years, too bad I can't find my Myth 2 account.

I'm surprised though, I thought I opened an account as soon as Halo 2 was released.

Oddly enough, the 'mid' values don't seem to correspond to signup date anymore. I'm 70, but there are many mids lower than me who are 8-year accts. Curious how the IDs were assigned this time around.

Multi-threaded import process from the old database caused that. Import grabbed chunks of users and imported them in parallel, resulting in an out-of-order import. Except for my user record (being #1), most people probably got moved around a bit.

Well, that makes quite a bit of sense. Thanks for the elucidation!

I still can't figure how I have two accounts. I'd forgotten about that. Something happened with my account a while back and I only appear as a 4-year, though I can't remember what.

The little year jewel thingy makes me feel old, and I'm only just 34. I was 21 when hired by Bungie (I was the youngest there for a few weeks). Of course, then I remember regularly reminding Marty that Star Wars already existed when I was born, and I feel a lot better.

Heh. Naturally.
(This one's older.)

Yeah, well, I would hope that being Bungie.net Overlord has its privileges. The oldest community member I recognize is HaveBlue. Just glad I am still older than Claude.

I was really sad when IDs were reassigned this time around. I used to be #27. Now I'm #90. :(

These conversations always feel like a bit of navel-gazing…

Heh. Oops.

Dang that's good. (reply)

Back when Halo felt new and awesome like Destiny feels now. I also like all the little things that went wrong with that demo, things that showed what made Halo unpredictable and awesome compared to just about anything else out at that time.

You'll always be a 10 in my book ;) (reply)

Surveys (reply)

Beorn — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 20:00:58 +0000

My account, very oddly, listed me as having never filled out the survey. I've done it at least twice before. I bet all you people have been beta testing Destiny and just haven't told me, NDA's and all. :(

I saw the same thing. Filled it out again last night and looks like it's stuck (for now). I wonder if it resets every time the update the survey…

Mine's not too shabby (reply)

It's [REDACTED]! When the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] [REDACTED]? Holy [REDACTED]!

I'm also so glad I got picked to test the [REDACTED] version. [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] is so much better than a [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] Master Race Forever (it's what [REDACTED] has listed as "[REDACTED] 3" in their internal game list)!

thus forever ruining the .0000000001% chance (if even) I'd ever actually get to beta test anything

Browsing B.net left me with a longing for Halo 2 (ah, Zanzibar, I remember your birth at the hands of Joe Staten at an E3 demo long ago...). However, since it's no longer supported on Xbox Live, I'd settle for Halo 3.

Anyone up for some this holiday weekend?

Same here. I filled it out again today just to be certain, that seemed to fix it.

Ditto. I'm also a niner, although I think I should be at least an elevener. Or, to borrow a phrase from Mr. Daax, a nineteener at heart.

Beat me to it... (reply)

Ragashingo — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:34:30 +0000

Ah. Easier than I thought. I was thinking maybe it was on some shut down / sealed off part of the site. My Halo 3 history say: "Player Since 4/14/2008" so there's that. But then, playing Halo 3 isn't the same as being on Bungie.net I don't suppose.
