The explanation for this is really simple. People that havent been playing for a month disappear from the rankings list.

So if a couple of guys above you havent played for lets say 25 days before the Stats-bug, and ofcourse cannt play now, they will drop from the ranking and you will move up.

The bug is only in the feedback from the game-servers --> Gamespy. The stats themselves remain untouched. Thats why everybody panicking about o noes my account is lost etc etc are wrong. Your account is still there only you cannt update your stats by playing.

I allready posted this in another thread, but I thought by throwing it in a new topic it would stand out more.

Aw god dammit! I haven't played in about six months! I don't want my account deleted, I still might pick it up again!
Bah. EA will give me everything back if I ask them nicely, they want to keep me on their side. If I get wiped I'm sure it wouldn't take too much to get my Bf2 soldier back.

I believe they don't actually wipe your stats, they just don't show up in the leaderboards.

Oh okay then. I don't give a crap about leaderboard placings, I'm somewhere near the people who are uninspiringly average. I just don't want to get my unlocks back, it takes a bloody long time and I'm not bothered.

Well still this whole ker-fuffel is bullcrap, i think they need to bring their crap together. I mean, people expected this to last a week end,

Except is probably gonna last a month.

Yeah what he said ... your account will never be deleted. If you cheat/hack/k&p it can be reset, but never be deleted as far as I know.

It will stay on whatever you left it at the time.

That is the answer I gave out when this started happening; But I realized they are moving up to fast for that explaination now. It is possible EA is deleting some accounts in an effort to narrow the problem.

So........Does this mean, If they do NOT fix the problem by a Months time, we will have a "clear" Leaderboard?

Because, Noone will be able to update their stats.

Just a thought.

I hope EA just goes down the shitter.... ALL of their games coming out for next gen systems look like absolute shit. Every single sports games just keeps getting worse and worse, they don't even put in effort anymore -- they really need to go under and a new company needs to step up

And you would be right. Thats how the Leaderboards work. I frequently check the Sniper Rifle boards myself, because some guys log on now and again to play the odd game like ChikyuuShoujoArujuna. He sometimes doesnt log on for a month, but after that month he disappears from the #3 position in the Sniper Rifle ranking ...

ChikyuuShoujoArujuna - 42.934 Sniper Rifle Kills (Last Battle on 2007-05-19)

Sniper Rifle ranking

The number of kills (Rifle) made by ChikyuuShoujoArujuna would see him on the #4 position, but because he hasnt played in over a month he isnt on there.

Who you talking to?? Cos they don't delete inactive accounts; they just dissappear automatically. If they delete suspicious accounts manually, then that's a different story.
