Let’s talk about usernames

You mean modern Blizzard does that.

Oldschool Battle.net had a 16 alphanumeric characters with underscore allowed and that was that. At least for Warcraft 3 it's been the case since 2002 for a very long time (until quite recently last year they allowed fancy symbols in usernames).

You also had to login at least once every 3 months or Blizzard purged your account.

Of course, yes. I doubt this problem came up with the original Battle.net accounts :-)
