I don't think 42,000 is unreasonable for someone who (a) has played since the game was released and (b) plays a lot of FFA/gang matches (I don't know if this describes him, though). I have about 6,000, have only played since December, and have only spent maybe 20% of my time in FFA/gang/Stronghold. With an extra six months of play and more time in matches, that number could be very close to 42,000.

There are other ways, of course - boosting, glitching, etc., but it can be done legit too.
