To elaborate on this a bit:
Inactive accounts do NOT effect the state of the game or the speed of the game. What actually slows down the game is all the page clicking. Example, rolling a horse. Every training click, take turn click, booster click and so on is what contributes to lowering the speed of the game.
You may think oh wasted accounts and animals, but we see a payer taking a break that may at some point return just as many many players have done over the years. We want players to know they can take a break or that if something unexpected happens in life, there account and animals they worked so hard for, will still be here when they return.
Accounts are also how we keep track of the scammers and other "bad" people in the game. If you take another persons account and it's been logged with the IP of someone who's in trouble, you face going down with that person because you're using one of their accounts. Just like if you give away an account to another person and that person goes on to be a scammer or rule violator and gets banned from the game, you will also be banned from the game because the account they're using to this stuff on, is marked with your IP.
All players are allowed 3 Novice accounts, or 9 Novice accounts for each paid Sponsor account they own. Giving Novices more accounts will also result in them being suspended for having too many accounts.
Before going off on a rant and starting a crusade against the rules, think of the reasons and the consequences first. All of the rules are in place to protect players, plain and simple.
