I've noticed that lately there have been many dummy accounts and advertising accounts. I'm not sure why they've been on the rise lately, but it seems they have been.

This is a problem (for a wide variety of reasons that I don't even know about I'm sure) for nation sorting. I don't know how nation sorting is done, if it's totally random or what, but what about the nations that keep getting the dummy accounts signed up to them? Is this noted so that when "real" members do sign up, these nations that might seem to have many of the dummy accounts sorted to them have a chance to get an infusion of new blood? I'm not sure if there is any way to track this or to rectify it but I was just wondering as I know that my own nation hasn't received a legitimate (not dummy) account in awhile.

It's completely random. Thus, every nation has an equal chance of getting registrations from these "bot" accounts. The system remains fair from a statistical perspective.

what can be done with Bot accounts? do they rot or can they be converted to NPCs?
