If you honestly think that, you're fucking stupid.
That number, so you realise it, is 4 billion. If he made 1 character per second. It would take him 4 billion seconds. In layman's terms, that's 136 years.
If you account for the fact that Account IDs are stored as 32-bit integers, and that the highest number you can store in such integer the apparent number of members in that guild. That would mean that everyone who ever played Conquer must join it, and that you couldn't create a new account, because there are no spaces left. Don't be stupid!
-1 and 4,294,967,295 are equivalent in their binary form. The only difference is how they are displayed/calculated. Somehow, they've managed to get below Zero members and it's wrapped around to -1. (or 4,294,967,295, is the same thing). The leaderboard is designed to display all numbers as positive, so you see that number rather than the -1 it should display.
