Remember the rule of Innocent until proven Guilty, unless you reveal that your username is your phone number or credit card number, than no1 on earth is gonna guess that is gonna be a phone number, and besides, you dont EVEN know what COUNTRY they are in, so what good to anyone is a string of seemingly random number, so no1 will notice, neither will jagex prove that it is your phone number unless you explicitly state that it is your phone number.

 

 

 

Also, some people are much more used to remembering patterns and numbers than actual words, so having a number will actually let them memorise it better (and which could COINCIDENTALLY be a phone number, but that is rather rare)

 

 

 

Surprisingly, that's near enough what I was trying to say.

 

 

 

The difference between information and data is basically what you described - data is simply information without context. A phone number is only a number until you're told it's a phone number. A name is only a word until you know it's a name. ^^

meh i wouldnt say its against te ruels any ways i mean they dont ven ban accts that have swear words as part of there names... i mean i supose they could but the did let them make an acct like that so many years ago and it wouldnt be fair
