PS2 Stats Issue

Among other issues, I have found a pretty big error in the PS2 Stats sector of PS Universe.

After playing NC since beta, I decided to switch to TR in order to play with friends. In doing so, I deleted my old character and created a new one under the same name. The name happens to be drfraggot, but what is really unique about this is that both players still show up on PS2 Stats regardless of the fact that they both have the same name.

This has led to a very glitchy experience when trying to link friends to my PS2 Stats page. Sometimes the site will glitch and bring them to my NC character; others, they will be brought to the correct page.

I feel that this needs to be addressed, especially with such an exponentially growing player-base on the verge for PS2. Deleted in-game characters should be categorized in an "Archived Statistics Database" or something of the like. If a player has been deleted, why keep it in a database that is intended to be updated constantly when there are no more streaming updates to that character?

That's just my opinion. While I may be alone here with a unique case, I think it should still be taken into consideration.

Problem is that the API is not flagging either character as deleted. We have mentioned this issue to the API dev team, not sure when it will be addressed.

I have tweaked our API query to try and get the relevant character.
