That meant he was tied with 0AP people. Also as far as I know, the number of overall players does not go down after a ban. Theres about 30,000 unactive players.
Maybe they should bring in a rule many websites have. If inactive for say 3+ months, account is deleted. Even if they raised the amount of time, i bet alot of accounts would be deleted.
There are many theories about why. You have to understand that in other sites there is also this problem, although this site shows population, therefore more noticeable.
NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING BECAUSE ITS ONLY A MINOR PROBLEM AND NOTHING TO WATE THEIR TIME ABOUT!!!
There should be a Delete Acc button on control panel, you type your password and then press ok twice and then bam its gone. But ya, type in the random stuff and you can find stuff.
