Is Blockland the only game that uses the "ID" system?
Buu:
well, theres facepunch....
Headcrab Zombie:
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

I am pretty sure that 99.9% "IDs" are randomly generated identification keys and there's no constant increment like Blockland's.
The only other game that I know that uses IDs based on register increment is Torn City.
Nevermind:

I don't know, but sure feels different.
If internet was earth, Blockland Forums is like an uncharted island.

this as well
i don't know of any other game that uses IDs that aren't random long strings of numbers and letters and also has IDs that are easily visible and important/significant
