No that is just being stupid. The only reason to Nazi Germany is to create BS or inflame the community.
Proving Godwins law is always passe`

I also do not think you know what Communist actually means... I can recommend some good books if you want.
Drop the Hitler/Nazi references and you can make the same point.
@Thantium
Could you at least acknowledge that you have read and understood my PM?
Is there any progress being made to combat the issue of multiaccounting? This imo is a bigger problem as one can easily have enough accounts to not have to bot and maintain huge armies. There many alliances with alt alliances just to fulfill this purpose.
Or you could have a player, like what I'm trying to get Thantium and Dave's attention to look at, who has so many accounts, that I don't see how they have time if they don't bot... They, and the lack of anything being done about them, was why I had been intending on packing up and leaving in disgust, which was why my sig used to be that I was leaving. This captcha thing brought some hope, but it's starting to look like that was me being too optimistic... :(
1, hope you guys arent counting the crazy number of flat filling and spy accounts being created as people lol, thats the only new accoutns we notice there
as for why you would want to - we dont have a clue. makes no sense to us either, but hiding all the links from new players WILL kill it off. maybe it is just extremely poor marketing who knows.
BUT stopping/severly obstructing new players joining age 1 makes it look like you want it to fade away.
The fact stopping bots with captcha -which will inevitably cause many to quit - when no new players are joining just looks money orientated. especially given how old captcha is and never been tried before - dispite captcha being on other areas of evony already.
Not contradicting, never said "kill off", said "letting fade away". of course you gonna keep making new servers , as long as enough players remain to keep going there and spending. BUT sending ALL new players to age 2 - whether a deliberate attempt to bypass age 1 or just unbelievably incompentant marketing - WILL result in quitting players never replaced and and the game slowly disappearing.
If you have underestimateed the number of bots used - and i suspect you have from my experience - you might find captcha does age 1 alot of damage with no new players coming in
What proof do you have this is going to happen. Really the only ones that should be alarmed are those with disabilities legitimately. (Which hopefully Evony will find a clear solution for them.) The other being those that cheat by botting.
No the game is addictive. I propose some will quit in dramatic display to their little circles of cliques. Even wide spread attention drama on the forum. Yet out of those nine out of ten will come back. Skulking back under a new name, account. Because even without their bot or other cheating tactic. The need to play evony will call them back.
Thus your claim sir is nothing more then another shock statement to scare others into your way of thinking.
irchie thats truse comeing from a botter but evony will get new players to fill in the botters place finaly evony is cracking down on them but they need to fix the loop holes in there my pal bots and they found a way around not saying outloud in the room or to anyone except a staff of evony
your right, it is an assumption - no proof. got mixed messages from people on the servers i go on. only way to know is to roll it out across all servers and find out.
But either way, while evony are obstructing fresh players from joining, the statement is true - any that quit [as many do daily if for no other reason than RL too busy] - cannot be replaced.
Of course evony will do really well out of it, since those with the most spare money can still race far ahead and will probably be the last to quit.
I'm not against captcha, i am just cynical of an old means to stop bots being brought in THIS late and AFTER new players are being sent to another game
First, I believe you meant Godwins Law is not always passe, otherwise that statement makes no sense.
Second, do you understand the meaning of communism or a communist regime? Let me help you, a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party. Now if my post hadn't been removed you would understand my reference and it would make sense to you. And you wouldn't have felt the need to attempt to ridicule me publicly. We'll let that one slide.
Third, they were the origin of the practice my post spoke of, and is often used widely in communist organizations. In the future I will use a different example.
But still with all that you said, you failed to point out one violation of the forum rules. Thank you for your time.
It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool...

Don't post like this. It doesn't sway decisions made towards you by moderators at all. You don't get banned for writing one instigatory post, and we don't ban on request. Don't get your knickers in a twist.

I've stood in the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague and looked at the art done by Jewish children in the Terezin concentration camp. Underneath each picture is a little plaque with the kid's name, and the years they lived. Most died in 1945, and most were under 12 years old when they died. When I was a kid I listened to a frail old man weep as he described how the Nazis in his prisoner of war camp attached electrodes to his scrotum to administer electro-shock torture. I've visited extermination camps and seen the ovens first hand. Don't dare come on these forums and try to claim we are the same as the Nazis. You are trying to compare something that makes you feel inconvenienced to something genocidal and evil. That's a stupid and dangerous comparison. By lowering "evil" to a mundane and everyday level you disrespect those dead children and that old man.
No you haven't.
^ Acer, kill the spambot!
Don't get mods and reps confused. Mods just run around the forum like referee-custodians. Reps are paid members of the company. Mods are green and purple, reps are blue or red.
its not had to find a age 1 link
WOW! really? do u think we are that dumb? When u started age 2, ur plan was to move all of age 1 over, If not for the uproar and disgust, age1 would have been killed at that time. So kindly stopmaking up more bs and expect us to believe u. This captchas isnt being set up to stop botters, or multi accounting, or even account sharing.
Its only been set up to drive long standing customers away from the idea of playing age1 regardless if its super servers or new servers.
you wont do any more mergers so the game jus gets more boring on the SS, therefore u have existing clients who are opening new accounts on ur newer AGE1 servers in order to have fun enjoying there game. You now take advantage there, whereby u milk them for their cash forcing them to buy medals, onwars etc etc in order to build a new account. Granted this is good business sence so well done on a good job.
BUT Then to make it worse....there too u annoy them by disrupting gameplay and making an already unhappy customer jus want to leave. Hoping that the addiction to evony wil draw some of these customers to age2 where you actually have more ways to charge us. I wonder what fall out are you guys hoping for. A 50% transfer? 40%, 25%? Furthermore why have your marketing guys decided not to have more links to age1? Does that not clearly show your intent to replace Age1?
It is typical in business for a new version to replace an older one. I have launched new products and withdrawn old models too in my own business but my products arent online games where players spend thousands of dollars.
So too we have other companies e.g. Apple; IPod4 replaced the Ipod3, Microsoft; windows XP is replaced by windows 7. who do the same thing. but here again they dont have customers who have spent thousands of dollars buying 1 product.
Unfortunatly for you Age 1 is not replacable by Age 2!
There is only 1 reason for that. WE YOUR CLIENTS HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON AGE1 TO JUST WALK AWAY AND START A NEW GAME!
As already stated by many on this thread, you have ZERO new players going to the new servers on age1. Because all of your links are taking all new customers to age 2. So therefore ur comment of running both games (though catering to different types of clients) side by side is nothing but a lie.
If u really cared for ur customers regardless if they are or are not PAYING customers you would just level the playing fields by implementing an inbuilt farming system which every1 could use and therefore nullfying the need for an external farming program. But instead you come out wit this garbage. Awesome!! :duh:
Its the same thing in life. The alcohol barons went out of business when alcohol was leagalised & taxed. I wonder how much money the governments of the world make thru tax on alcohol today.
You know all to well a new bot wil be out within the next few weeks. Each time you modify ur coding, the botters wil make a newer bot to counter ur action. The free bots ofcourse wont be as good but those that are pruchased, well now....what do you think?!?! Multi-accounting and account sharing wit carry on as standard. So we wil be back at square 1. wit the same problems!!
Isnt that what all hackers do when companies like McAfee, Nortons etc launch a latest version of their anit virus? Dont the hackers jus modify code and make a newer virus?
You talk about logic, but where is your logic? It shocks me to see how u wish to solve such a simple problem wit such a complicated & useless solution. If that is what u are actually trying to do. Which leads me and many others to belive your motives are not what you are showing.
If you working for me, i would have made you close this thread after 25 pages of complaints. But here we are over 125 pages later and you are stil carrying on wit the same chatter! :cheer:
By removing the need to farm, you wil kill 2 birds wit 1 stone. no 1 wil need to bot or multi account.
Sadly ur anti tin foil logic isnt working. otherwise you would have done what is actually needed instead of this bogus new tactic you are trying to use to try kill off age1.
Having spent 2 years of my life and thousands of my hard earned cash building my account and paying your wages. i am disgusted wit ur antics. If you had invested this much in the game you too would feel the same! Its a disgrace!
seriously killer, a brand new user, logs in, gets put on age2, starts a game.
WHY after getting started there, getting used to that one, would they go to the trouble to log out/log back in and go through the server list to find a server to "have a go".
Plus most of us dont like age 2 because we used to this one, if they start there, they are USED TO it before they get here. And by comparison this on does look dated.
Why would they stay and try to get used to this one?
[Of course a few will, based on hear say from age2 players, but suspect most will do no more than a few weeks and go back to their established accounts on the game they are used to]

First off reverse the order of my quotes, secondly I will gladly drop the Nazi Regime from my post, I never said anything about mass extinction, nor did I imply it. If you substitute USSR for Nazi Regime, my post still makes complete sense. So now I am truly sorry I used an analogy that offended you offended you. It was not my intention and hopefully you see that with my explanation.
ok now you are just giving away 1l of resources then it not worth my time and I will be quitting this game, it was not worth it for the 10k and now you make even less so stick it up your @ss I will not fill in your stupid boxes any more mt troops eat more then that if I had no troops. If you want someone to do something you make worth there while to do it not command them to do if that the case then I will quit evony there is many free games out there and there a new one coming soon for a friend that play this game is making it, so no more codes from me on ss57 and then I will quit when you call me a botter because not and I don't like the way you are doing it.
on second thought they don't need advertising. but i hope you guys stay on top of this latest security breach.
I would like to apologise to all mods of evony. Its was a mistake. Boleslav please accept my apology, my anger is being directed to evony & their employees.
personally i think it would be simpler to have no farming and a cap on troops/combined attack value per city. At least would add an extra strategy in choosing whether or not to build offensive or defensive troops with your total allowance.
THIS MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC BUT......
server 153 - franconia - accounts called zoey - numbered from 1 to 400 to fill flats. some 17pages of them still "active" as of now.
WILL CAPTCHA STOP THIS??????????
no of course it wont - but this is FAR more irritating than coming across a botted city. knowing its there for the botted owner to random in and wipe you out and there is NOTHING you can do about it
If you log on to the original log in window you can register for age one, the only problem I can see with that is it will only let you pick a w server you have to create an account there and log back in and pick the server you want
Hope this help's the people having to go through age 2 to get to age 1
Spydeh..had a few of mine removed that did not violate the forum rules, though many others that did, were left here to be read. I truly believe that the Reps have told the Mods to back off a bit lately, since posts now are even becoming more inflaming. Did I get any reason for my posts being removed? How about the disabled persons posts with regards to her disability? Nope. We just came online to look for possible remarks or anything and found our posts had vanished.
Would like to see the excuse given for your post being removed. Would also like to see the reason as to why mine were removed as well.
i find it amusing that in the "news" box on the main page, the first 4 topics listed are "Server Issues today","server Na3 restart", "Captcha's now testing", and "Server ss60 restart"....... So basically: Problem, Problem, Future problem, problem....... Amused.
Thank you Acer. So I had come in and was responding, so mine were removed with theirs. Makes perfect sense, though most forums and mods, will just tell people they are off topic or they will move the posts to another thread and let them know why. Not just delete them with no explanation.
Flippin over the pages the content is pretty much the same. The mob hates evony if they do, they hate them if they dont. There were many refrences to Evony being a business, well duh lol, but look at it from this view, Evony is alot like the leader of a country. Keep the giggles to a minimum here for a minute. A good leader knows he/she cannot and will not make everyone happy. It cant be done. Here is a great example, not long ago there was a server shuttdown for a few hours (who's control is anyones guess) when people logged back on they were in uproar cause they lost a few hours of gameplay. The mob comes to these boards and to the ticket windows wanting free stuff, So evony gives them a little something to cool the nerves. Now today, out of the blue, they give everyone free food. And guess what happened, the mob comes in here and complains that it isnt what they wanted lol. This is the biggest collection of "entitlement age" population anywere lol. The mob thinks evony ows them something. *scratches head on this one, but what exacly does evony owe anyone? Some people say " ive spent lots of money here", ok, you want a cookie? Ive spent money on evony and not once did they put a death warrent on my head if I didnt. My game was never in danger if I didnt. Guess what spender, what you were entitled too was fulfilled the second your transaction with evony was completed. There is NO extended contract that states they owe you further packages. Evony gives the mob something everyday, they give you a free game, thats it. And for you people who have the nerve to question what and how they do there business, Why are you still here?
We know there is the backdoor approach to signing up. When you go to the main page and read that to play age 1 you click the play button, but in doing so as a new player you are taken to age 2, this is what people are talking about.
Yes you can just log out and back in, but what new player would even think of that. They will be thinking that they are playing age 1 unless it is noted somewhere on the page that they are not.
This is why some believe this captcha thing will drive people away from age 1.
