Can we bring back the girls from the original evony ads as captchas? perhaps we have to guess their bust size, maybe even which site they were stolen from? C'mon, gotta give us something here :rofl:

Speaking to you as an individual, you are lambasting Thantium for his "wide paintbrush", but I do not see you speaking out against the people using their own wide paintbrushes and making inflammatory / derogatory statements about people who dislike botting / cheaters. If you want to speak out about people making those kinds of sweeping statements, at least have the integrity to call out both sides of the issue on it.
Ummm ok player population may have dropped but many have holidayed, some have quit due to the intrusion into gameplay, It has taken me over 12 hrs to log in and when I get as far as the captcha I have to re-enter it 7 times because its totally illegible, of course lag has dropped......it hasnt stopped though has it?
I submitted a CS request on the login issue and the mail I got back was laughable, It started by telling me that you were aware there was an issue and please be patient as you were working on it, and in the next paragraph its telling me its been fixed and my ticket has been closed because you answered my question........ that was 2 days ago and I havent been able to login succesfully on my first fifty tries since.
my other question for u..you do understand there will always be away around this your only stopping botters for a short period of time with captchas so since the amount of botters isnt as large as people say then why come out with this new feature that effects everyone because of the "small" few that do bot lag is getting better on the test servers due to great amount of players in holiday mode and not playing it might be me but im sorry i dont see where this idea will make any great improvements to the game as a whole
Actually can you or the others that say a vast majority are holidaying on ss57 and ss60 show proof of this. Show the raw data of actual number of players active and those holiday. I would surmise that you can not. So your proponent to this argument is flawed with out actual factual evidence.
As seeing the only ones who would have the raw data is the good folks at Evony themselves. An with no reason to lie or withhold such information. An since they are not reporting such, then the only conclusion is the vast majority going into a holiday is a shock statement in a dying cause.
LMAO, 916 posts in 3days... thats a forum record.... CONGRATULATIONS lol... :rofl:
and also, could you think about putting it on older servers pleasee..
if it cant be done, just merge the older servers and add the captcha thing as well...
so it helps everyone :)...
so Merge and a way to decrease lags in the new ss.... everybody wins :)
have fun, will be back when it becomes 1000 posts lol

The thing is you have upset enough people to make them rise up and make forum accts to express their displeasure with your latest change. Same thing happened with the mass NPC clearings a little while back. The low post count doesn't make them any less of a legit opionion they just didn't participate in forums before. And this is coming from a guy with thousands of posts so it must carry some weight by your argument lolol. Oh and in case it wasn't clear before I'm part of your statistics of members with hundreds of statistics I am highly opposed to this new feature for the record.
I like pickled pigs feet!
I'll clarify about player population, the industry calls it DAU, or Daily Active Users. While I will not post this number as those a private and internal numbers. I can say that players in Holiday are not counted, only players that log in and play.
The industry also has lots of other acronyms for numbers.. ARPU, ARPPU, Mau, Conversion rate etc. There are some good write ups over on gamasutra.com . Which by the way if you want to understand or work in the game industry is a great resource.
Back up here, one day its a test on a single server, then another day its a FULL ROLE OUT across Evony, now its not decided if its staying - there are lies in these statements, a month ago they said one another chat room they were going to do this.....that's withholding info.... by not saying on THIS FORUM
No, you sir, and I'm using that "sir" very loosely, are completely ignorant. There are these things, quite handy actually, and available for FREE, they are called SCREEN MAGNIFIERS, that can be used to ENLARGE text or ANYTHING else on your screen. Very simple and easy to install and use. Wish they made a brain magnifier, you'd be the first recipient, due to it'd be based on need. : ) Don't cry, YOU made it personal. lol try download(d0t)c0m, they have them there. Just the screen magnifiers, not the brain magnifiers, sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up. ;)
ya if i take half of what u said and leave the rest of it out i can make it out to be what ever i want to my statement did not stop at the forums u forgot WC AC what about the players who are outraged ingame who arnt on the forums....next time you try saying something atleast argue the whole post not just the part that fits what u want...sighs
In all my years, I never seen thousands in wc, nor have I seen everyone on in an alliance chat at same time.
Then again I beginning to think Badblood has the right of it. Some people need a brain magnifier.
Oh and with you having seen thousands post in wc, guess those are the ones not in holiday lmao.
LOL - the hypocrisy...whenever somebody posts something about CHE@TING ANY other time, you say, the forums are not the place for such things. AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. Somebody argues with YOU, makes some statements about their behavior, and then you RUN TO INVESTIGATE THEM? WTF?
Then you give the lamo excuse, OH they admitted to it on a thread I was participating on....give me a break man! I've seen city screenshots that people post ON THESE FORUMS BRAGGING ABOUT HOW BIG THEY ARE THAT ALL BUT SCREAMS THEY ARE CHE@TING - you've done NOTHING to them!!!! No, just the ones that disagree with you. I'm out of this thread, out of this conversation. You guys talk to use like WE need to go learn about ACRONYMS IN THE GAMING INDUSTRY LIKE WE'RE IDIOTS. Let me say this again -
Do you understand the concept of root cause analysis?
Do you understand the concept of requirements gathering?
Do you understand the concept of use cases?
Do you understand the concept of regression testing?
Do you understand the concept of user acceptance testing?
SOFTWARE IS SOFTWARE IS SOFTWARE. I've lead teams of developers in some of the biggest companies on the planet, and like I've said before, if I ran my organization the way you guys are, I'd have been fired 100 times over.
You DON'T understand your game.
You DON'T understand the unintended results of your coding.
You DON'T understand your userbase.
C'mon guys. WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING TO FIX? Seems to me you're still only shooting at symptoms.
like i said same ppl repeating the same thing over and over and over just in differnt threads no big deal to me enjoy ranting for nothing :dizzy:
i hope evony rolls this out to every server and kills all the botters and if they figure out how to beat it adjust it and kill them all over again wash rinse and repeat:cheer:
94 pages of bot user complains damn
well i thank this is a great start for giting rid of all the boters that i and all the real players i know cant stand
hang on let me get my popcorn this is getting good rofl
An you really miss the whole of it. As it was already stated the population had not fallen off as greatly as suspected. An that would mean the DAU so where is your ammo now. If the averages before have not significantly dropped with the test then one can only surmise the mass holiday is over exaggerated.:duh:
actually i have spent thousands probally 3 to4 lost a instant archer hero almost got him back to that level again and now spent a few grand on server 153 only because they banned eric i joined a new one and i would dump a few grand more to see all the botters go bye bye who needs port insta cap a 10:duh: and i have no alliance cause i dont want to make friends i make war not have 10 or more accounts bot so i can stroke it all night
get real get over it and hopefully we can a enjoy the game bot where ppl dont have to cheat to feel all big and bad go confront your bully and grow up
Guys deal with it you just need to buy new bot program thats all :rofl:
