So I was just now looking at the player growth chart, and it says that the total members for today all together are 22,187. But my BL_ID is 23316, and I've seen +29,000 BL_IDs, so how could this be?Here is a picture.
not everyone has RTB
RTB can only know about players that join RTB servers or players that use RTB - all the rest RTB has no way of knowing about, so that would account for the discrepancy. It's more to chart current growth per day than to keep an accurate measure of how many people there actually are.
