Where is Captcha used?

after creating 4 accounts the 5 requires a Captcha. That is where it is used.
So what. They are a business, quite a profitable business. We just happen to be their revenue source. Poultry farmers dont make sure their chickens are happy. They keep them healthy untill they can kill them for meat, and make their money. Don't be surprised that this is any different. It is well known that newer players spend more than players with a foundation in the game. Players who have been on the same server for a few months buy porters, excals and a few other odd items every now and again. So why would they make it harder for new players to sign up. It benefits them in less ways than one.
good to see your useing cap. now how about the other suggestions in this post any idea if they will help you all out? or can be implimented to atleast combat the issue?
That is the most.... i ever read! what has building NPC and conquer and abandom cites to do with the noob problem?
what you wrote makes no sence - if you wanna move closer to enemy the legal way (without filling the state and port out a noob to port on its spot) you conquer a npc and when you done attacking you abandom it and move on!
so now you wanna tell what?
that i am only allowed to conquer a city once per day and then have to wait and stuck there for 24? good plan! really
so how you attack? you prefer then the noob way since you dont like the fact that people build npc...
ouch :duh:
So let me guess, your arguing that it is stupid for me to say that.
you must be one of those people who abuse and spam 50 npc cities in one area.
so it is typical for alot of people to not like the idea.
i just thought it would be a nice idea. because theres like 3 people in 10 to 25 miles from me. and there all spaming level 5 to level 10 cities 3 to 4 cities a day that i can see.
i point i out because it seems like the guy is a bot. constantly making npc cities.
yes it might be alittle stupid but i find alittle unfair for players to spam 50 npc cities all over the map.
get a 100 bot or 100 players spaming 50 npc cities every day leaving no room for players.
so yes keep calling it a stupid idea.
Email verification would be useful. However I can see how a bot can be written/used to make many email addresses. Still, it would be better to have than not.
The Captcha pop up only comes up after 5 new accounts have been made from the same computer.
Resetting the browser's cookies/data will reset the 5 new account counter, so if a person resets cookies/data before 5 new accts have been made, the Captcha pop up never comes out.
Wait, what do you call spamming? Farming? Farming is an essential part of the game, for those with a decent amount of troops. I know that Evony did not intend for us to have large amounts, enough to need to farm, BUT, that is how Evony makes a lot of their money. People buying ports to attack, excal to build troops, truces so you don't get hit, Holiday mode to keep from losing troops and cities do to huge amounts of troops/refuge that's caused by having lots of troops.
That's going to be problematic given the insistence on deleting cache and cookies for any connectivity problem. :pirate:
Also, just to be sure we're talking the same thing, this captcha comes up if you go to the direct server URL (Age 1 servers) and create that many accounts, or is this only via the evony.com home page that this happens?
