So it looks like our moderators have run away??? are the questions to hard?
I'll ask again, how can you control the popup when someone is getting attacked or launching a timed attack?
we are dealing with 1/2 second time frames here.

Captcha isnt going to prove anything other then a annoying pop up. This is the only game I know that the admins try and make the players unhappy when there makin money hand over fist y not be happy and dont fix something thats not broken if anything add something new not frusterating. I dunno maybe you want to turn the game upside down to make people quit playing if so why make new servers and add lag.
maybe they can start running ads like youtube does now to make up for the revenue they are gonna lose. LMAO
that would be the best if I could get a Gillete razor commercial pop up as Im attacking.
instead of this captcha crap, how about creating troops like fighting Roos :) those would eat up wishys mechs lol
Oh how about the tea and crumpets hour. That would be a nice break. Oh and make sure you play the good re runs of the super bowl commercials. I like the Doritos ones.
lol@ all the madbotterz .
If you do not B0t , ss57 is a great server after this Captcha was put into place . The Lag and the B0ts are gone . Im not sure why all the complaining except maybe everyone who is complaining are the cheaters .
Everyone will have quit by time evony makes improvements. Ive heard rumors that people have gotten this captcha WHILE being hit and lost cuz they were unable to react in time. Evony this is a mistake. Of course botting may be considered cheating but the people that coin and are on 24/7, what about that? Is that fair to people who can not afford to coin or actually have families to attend to? These bots help players that can not be on to be able to keep up with the 24/7 playing "coiners." Everyone is able to use a bot. Most are free. Evony maybe you should make a feature simular to these bots but without some of the abilities you think is "cheating," or better yet just allow it so no money is wasted on such a program. Your system does not run slower JUST because of the bots, it has to do with you guys always searching for bots too. Bots are easily confused so attacking them is nowhere near impossible. Maybe make a bot of your own but without the defense features it has. This captcha thing has caused players to quit and when your "coiners" quit then you lose money. Just because im defending the botting industry does not mean I myself am a botter, it's called being logical.
How about evony hands the company over to me so I can do what the players want instead of what some nerds that lack computer and social skills have to offer. We keep giving our feedback and it seems there is no upside to this new and greatly thought out plan to keep out evony botters when evonys customer service is also a bunch of bots that spam u with bs replys when u ask a simple question.
good idea but what will happen if you have 2 different accounts up at the sametime is there some sort of trace being put into the captchas that will help ease up the multi accont users. or even better ALL THE BABYSITTING THAT GOES ON? babysitting annoys me and the majority of players i know more than botting does.
Shut the front door!
if they bring the captcha to my server my autocents is cancelled that day. Oh wait evony has become a business that no longer cares about money, what are you a non profit now. You will just lose players and you will be unable to replace them. Let me let you developers in a big secret. No one wants to sit around and click mouse all day. That is not fun. You have to figure out how to allow a player to attack and win without having to farm 14 hours a day. Lose the botters then all the big food stashes will be gone and all of us will starve. Im not gonna go back to clicking all day ever.
people wouldent be babysitting if evony would ease up on the upkeep make it a 24/7 deal to keep a lil food in the house unless we want to go back to 2 years ago and fight with archers and cav. LOL evony wasnt made to have such big armies ? come on over time everything gets bigger much like berryboos mouth.
Evony Is a very fun game to play. I have played ever since server 18 which started in May of 2009. With that being said Evony is one of the few games with a severly loyal fan base that will refuse to make changes with their players. I have always questioned why they would not progress and add new features like a farming tool or even upgrade the Age 1 platform ( new techs, research, troops, and so on) I feel that while I have remained very loyal to Evony, Mostly because I stay around for the people in my alliance for which we have gained a strong bond with. I would say the easiest way to end this nonsense about botting and not botting is to make seperate servers each allowing for or against botting. Let the players choose which servers they wish to play on and lets call this debate a day. I know I know this makes too much sense. I for one as a botter have rarely ever if ever have attacked a player who was not up to my caliber. I have always wanted to knock of the best not the weakest or worst players. So I for one would be happy to go to a server with all botters the higher caliber the better. Cheers
What is wrong with babysitting? It is just another player. If you have to wait for someone to go on vacation to best em then maybe you should play farmville. No offense but that is ridiculous lol
Okay this capch thing gonna be a pain in the rear.. okay here i am getting attacked or attacking :flame: and this stuff pops up no not cool okay 1 throws me off my game and 2. yep deffinally just ruined my day of play.. so now i cant see dang nab thing anyway and then it just gonna keep popping up :modedit: true botters would be caught but is it worth all the people leaveing the game getting tired of the little pop ups.. were here play a game where our enemies block our attacks not evony :dizzy:
If anyone else would support making a server where we could move our accts that would allow botting. Lets make a thread and see if we can make it happen. I would love to have a server full of players with huge armies. Im up for the challenge how about you guys and gals. Lets see if we can get evony to support this.
:cheer:
I like to thank Evony for attempting to clean up the game. I look forward to this.
I am down to two accounts one on ss54 (Condemned) and one on s153 (Squirrels) The one on ss54 I have to often holiday because I can't keep up with the farming. Basically spending $30 a month on that account. So evening the playing field is great and I welcome it.
Secondly this will bring back skill and not some coded bot. So you can't keep large armies because you can't be on to farm to feed. You actually have to have skill now to attack and defend. Because troops are precious and not throwaway because you no longer have the insane amounts.
Finally the lag which has hampered more attacks and defending then anything will truly be alleviated.
So thank you Evony for attempting to clean up the game of the cheaters.
Love it go evony kill those bots muahaha
I'm only on page 2 here of 28, so I'm sure there's been thrashing of this statement, which won't be surprising.
I figure that you all were faced with a choice of obtaining expensive equipment and/or bandwidth leases so that people could continue unchecked, or do something. Producing your own bot in-house wouldn't have helped with that, because so long as there was a no-cost option, people would take the no-cost option and still leave you hanging with the increased hardware / network demands.
I sincerely wish it didn't take debilitating server lag for you all to understand that you can't allow cheaters to overrun your systems.
Now, would you PLEASE do something about the 0 population city accounts where people spent money, but have been long gone for 1-2 years? That way you can stop or severely cut back the frequency of the NPC purges. Thanks!
Just allow botting evony. There would be less hassle, less players unhappy, more players playing, and so on. If you really cant physically or mentally use a bot then how can you play evony? Its really not that hard and like I said, most bots are free. If you truely want to take out botting then say goodbye to your loyal fans and coiners, me included.
We should just have them allow botting period.
Thats retarded.. Less 'Players' Unhappy? Keyword there being 'Players'
A botter is not a player, He has a bot playing for him.
All the best players I know wouldnt touch a bot, Its you complaining wonna be's that think botting is fine.
Go play some other game, Leave evony for the real 'players'
:p
Sorry to say that is kind of sad implementing that on age2 to upkeep an army is 1/3 of what it is on age1? and the fb buff reduces it to 1/6 of upkeep difference. maybe everyone should do their statistics and stop spending and realize nothing is going right here. Maybe changes should be made to Age2 b/c i am pretty sure age1 was stable besides the server merge complainers. and the botters are the coiners so have fun when evony starts to be like xbox and has a monthly charge :)
We want huge armies and will be smashing lil tikes like Pantea just to get warmed up.
I believe this captcha is violating and discriminating to my terms of agreement that I agreed to when I signed on with evony. You cannot change the way this game plays on older servers but you can on newer servers as per you changing the Terms of agreement. This is going to open up many forms of law suits and loss of revenue to evony. If i'm in the middle of timing attacks and i get this captcha or in the middle of being attacked and get this captcha and evony causes me to lose the battle i'm going to be contacting someone for violation of terms. You would be interfering with my state of game which is no better then people botting.
Do I discount the possibility that a pop up will come at inopportune time; no
What I do think is that right now more people are screwed over on timed attacks and defending with the lag of the spinning clock due to the bots. An if the cleaning up of the lag is a by product of clearing out botters then great.
An most botters are not coders, but who have purchased a bot.
An all of you who are whining now and making silly doomsday statements. Are likely the minority for Evony to act and implement such procedures. Means likely thousands if not more complaints have poured in to lead to this.
:soapbox:
