Who to talk to about a impersonating problem?

Slow? Have u seen the news lately? How we treat the environment? WW III Escalating. Authoritarianism on the rise across the world and now taken hold in America as well. Conspiracy is replacing science. 90 seconds to midnight on doomsday clock. :clock12:

Its a brisk run to the abyss for humanity.

And they got the answer within the first handful of responses but then doubled down and started being a jerk about it ignoring the correct answers he was given. Then the thread went to crap. Most of it was light hearted teasing. Unclutch your pearls.

were you making a diablo 2 character by any chance? lol. also maybe if blizzard could take from names that don’t exist yet to give you one it doesn’t mean someone later can’t use the same name by manually entering it.

Because the OP was incapable of addressing how the issue arose, here’s the post that caused him issue.

Note he never bothered to look at the profile of the other GhostDog.

I was the very first response, sure I started a bit snide, but I provided correct information which was later expounded upon. OP started his crap right away. You reap what you sow.

Lol I hadn’t seen the original post. Clearly that person was not in anyway trying to impersonate them. The rational thought would have been “oh I guess I had the wrong impression about unique names”.

Account names are not unique. You see the “-1224754” appended to the end of your primary BattleTag (account name)? That is the unique identifier for your account. I could create a BattleTag with the name “GhostDog” and it would look something like “GhostDog-5023405”. Our characters use the same kind of naming scheme, although in the case of characters the appendage is entirely hidden and is only seen on the server end of things.

The appendage (numerical portion) of the account name is what makes each instance of the name unique. There could be a thousand “TheTias”, but there’s only one “TheTias#1192” (me). Originally BattleTags had a four number appendage. Then it became five numbers after a while. Now some, like yours, have up to seven. You’re not the first GhostDog, and you won’t be the last.

But… Halloween is over!

PS - Stephen King had an entire book about pet cemeteries. I’d recommend heeding the warning and staying out of those.

I am the REAL Ghost Dog.

Or perhaps the real ghost dogs are the friends we made along the way .

Wild thread.

On the advice of my grandmother, I decided to not read that book in order to be able to sleep.

Off-Topic: I found Pet Semetary far less disturbing than Doctor Sleep.

I won’t re-read It, either. The children passage doing “adult things” is quite disturbing also.

On topic: Diablo 4 needs more horror quests, like the flayed guy Feodor in Unyielding Flesh quest.

The text portion of Battletags is NOT unique. There can be thousands of GhostDog battlenet accounts. There will be if it is part of the name generator.

Yep!

The only part of a Battletag that makes it unique is the numbers after it. There can be many GhostDogs, but only one

GhostDog-1224754

That is one heck of a high number after it - so there are thousands of them.

Yeah, there is nothing against the rules about having the same Battletag unless someone is doing it on purpose to harass someone.
