New players (Not real people)

#1
So for as long as I can remember there has always been a flood of players(?) that join the game and never build anything and instantly go vacation mode or inactive. I assume this is zorg's doing to try and "stimulate" the community or make it look more active than it is. If this is the case could it be stopped?

Yes , it's So Clear
Even Their Usernames Contain Space That is Not An Allowed Character For Username
i Was Thinking At Least Zorg Can Give Them Some Mine Levels to Turn Them into Farms [Maybe 20k or 30k]
If They Stay 0 Point They Just Waste Slots

Zorg has said before, I quote directly,

"-THERE ARE NO GENERATED PLAYERS We NEVER artificially generated ANY player. ALL THESE players in X-TREME (and other universes) are REAL signups."

So, although I agree with you guys, even ALDUIN! about the names with spaces etc, it has already been denied previously. We have to take the word of Zorg on that I'm afraid.

You have entered the Twighlight Zone!

There does seem to be an awful lot of John.smith or james.jones. Real names separated by that dot. I have "dabbled" in other servers but not permanently due to connection issues. I have seen these weird names first hand. The only server I have never seen ANY in is Standard. So, an abundance of these "Phantom" players in some servers, then absolutely none in another. Seems a little iffy.
