Other gamers have also confirmed that their discoveries have been wiped out as well, which meant that the first disclosure was not an isolated incident. Some believe that keeping a database of names eats up a lot of memory, even if it is just text data. Because of that, names have to be wiped out after a period of time.
However, the same gamer who first made the discovery and revelation came back to say that after re-downloading and reloading the game several times, his discoveries reappeared, prompting him to conclude that it was a server bug that caused his discoveries to initially disappear from the game.
