I'm an admin for an alliance on the Australian version of the game.
Over the last couple of days we have noticed a lot of new members with weird long alpha/numerical usernames, like some sort of code in the background and their username isn't showing. See the picture attached.
I don't think they are fake accounts to farm for coins because people just wouldn't come up with a heap of usernames like that. They seem to be active accounts, earning credits and building stations. The weird thing is that none of them are replying to inbox messages that are sent to them or replying to in game chat.
It seems like the game might have bots to increase activity?
Is anyone else seeing these sorts of usernames in their alliances?
Some examples..

I have messaged the developers through the Xyrality Helpshift FAQ page but haven't heard anything back.
