Any sort of online game is going to have a database with a table of characters/players/accounts, the table's primary key could be considered an ID. It's just that I've never seen another game with as much of a front-end emphasis on them |

The only other game that I know that uses IDs based on register increment is Torn City. |

If internet was earth, Blockland Forums is like an uncharted island. |
