Who has the largest hashtag number?

Multiplayer Discussion

I have been running into players on the Ladder with very large hashtag numbers lately:

Are there actually millions of accounts using InkyThief or PlumRogue?

What’s the largest hashtag that you have seen in HS?

Hashtags are unique, so you can’t have two people with different names, but same hashtags

And I’m not sure, but I think it represents the number of players registered thus far, so if you see a hashtag in millions, it should mean there are millions of registered Hearthstone accounts.

And it also makes sense, considering the bot explosion in the last few years. Before that, I think we were still in tens, maybe hundreds of thousands.

I am not sure what constraints are placed the hashtag numbers, but I have never seen one with less than four digits.

Does that mean the first 999 were devs? Or were they the first “children” to see the hot new app that fateful day

No, that’s BATTLETAG ids (not Hearthstone). And the code number is probably a combination of the uniqueness of name and the number (because my ID having 4 digits is too low for that to be the number of players).

I also saw a MILLIONS(or billions?) number and I find it weird; I actually friended the guy and they were an actual person; they had no clue either and if I recall correctly I asked them if they’re very new and said no.
