The only way I know to tell for sure is to export the players into CSV or XML and look at their IDs. I'm guessing that the game does... something there with the ID; it's not just going to create someone with the exact same one because, well, you'd constantly run into this issue. It either *also* starts incrementing at 1 (which, you'd run into the same issues there) or else it checks the DB for duplicates before assigning the ID.
