Thx for Unknownone knowledge!

A unsigned 32 bits long word with the range of 0.... 4,294,967,295
When it turn to -1, it roll back the number and create the big number.
(Gold or member is using the 32 bits word)

Credit to Unknownone for discovery.

Nice Day ^^

Hi,

The correct answer is -1 member in the guild.
As the computer was assigned to publish a possitive value (0 to 4,294,967,295) the computer roll the value back to become a very large number

------------
The range

0 ............ 4,294,967,295

------------
Somehow is value turn to -1 members in the guild

If you honestly think that, you're ******* 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.
