Generating a login​

Generating a login

Logins are generated based on a specified formula. There are three preset formats available:

  • [Eng|4][RndNum|1970|1990]
  • [Jap|4][RndNum|1970|1990]
  • [Lat|4][RndNum|1970|1990]

The only difference here is the language: Eng for English, Jap for Japanese, Lat for Latin.

[Eng|4] means a nickname will be generated that's four English syllables long. There's a chance the syllables will be combined like they are in actual words.

Let's experiment with the formula and make a more complex setup:

[RndSym|[RndNum|0|4]|0123456789][Lat|3][RndSym|[RndNum|0|2]|-][Jap|1][RndText|2|D]

  • [RndSym|[RndNum|0|4]|0123456789] — at the start, your nickname will get from 0 up to 3 (4 not included) random digits
  • [Lat|3] — then, 3 Latin syllables go into the login
  • [RndSym|[RndNum|0|2]|-] — a hyphen may appear
  • [Jap|1] — followed by one Japanese syllable
  • [RndText|2|D] — and the nickname ends with 2 random letters or digits

Generating a number
