    golem22, your statements prove you don't know whats going on, your assumptions everyone on holiday is b0tt1ng are false.

    The vast majority caught in the current net were for multi accounts, and the majority of those were families.
    I was suspended for baby sitting a friends account who has RL issues. We are not even in the same alliance, his account wasn't at war, or doing anything in particular. I was simply keeping 8 months of work alive along with his heros.

    Evony in their wisdom banned me from all 3 servers i used, even though the problem was only on one server. Everyone in both alliances knew i was looking after the account, i didnt try to hide it. Evony never responds when you mail them as they request about these things.

    I have been open and honest about whats going on, Evony chose to ban me because they cant read emails.

    No, Evony chose to ban because they don't care. If they did, many of us would have gotten some sort of answer beyond that childishly written mass mail we got about a tos violation or a demand for payment letter.
    Evony just doesn't care.

    Everyone I know who was banned admitted to using a ***. I do not have first hand knowledge of anyone being banned for playing on the same server with the same IP or running multiple accounts. You b0tters should be ashamed but probably won't be. It shows a lack of character and integrity. JMO

    if that was directed at me, read the post again.
    "You b0tters should be ashamed but probably won't be" meaning people who are b0tting and know it
    "It shows a lack of character and integrity. JMO"
    in my opinion people who use cheats are displaying a lack of character and or integrity. If that's libel sue me.

    There are some good posts, in this thread, and some really bad ones.

    However, I'm not going to argue any points here. There was a decision made.

    People who cheat, or circumvent the system will eventually be found out, and eventually pruned from the servers. If you take issue with how that is done there is a system in place to voice those complaints. Please use it.

    Thank you.

    First off if you have spent over a thousand dollars on a game that is advertised as free forever that is your problem, I have played for a long time and yes it sucks losing to cheaters, of course if there was a real penalty for cheating maybe people would not bother....

    Secondly if your going to post on a public forum at least make an effort to be coherent, it is extremely difficult to figure out what you are trying to say.

    Finally all botters are the same, they all think that somehow the rules do not apply to them. And no matter what there excuse is that fact does not change.

Being the studious people that these computer savvy people are they utilized the "search" function and searchd for terms like "cheating" "b o t s" "multi-account" They found that the only good information from the evony representatives was that there was some "clandestine" methods that they would not disclose that they could use to detect automated programs and multi-accounters and that when they were found they would be dealt with. They also found many people starting threads that accused evony of suspending their accounts or taking other disciplinary action against them even though they insisted they had not cheated or broken any item on the terms of service or game rules. Upon hearing from both sides, these computer savvy people made the choice that they could not trust either side and that they must TEST the theory, or that they must move on as it is not worth their time. Alas many moved on as it really wasn't worth their time playing a game that could easily be cheated and the clandestine methodology to cheating detection was not worth the time to test. As more and more of these computer savvy users went through this process, eventually one person got caught up in it thinking "how the hell do they think they can catch all the cheaters by simply looking at the server-side data?" "THEY CAN'T!" he thought.

    He set out not to prove evony wrong but to prove himself right. He setup simple automated accounts and multiple accounts on the same ip address as being a computer savvy individual he knew how to access the internet from an unlimited number of unique IP addresses. He made sure that the automated program ran as regularly as possible to trigger any code that would sense regularity. He ensured that the multiple accounts from the same IP logged in very close to one another regularly and they had plenty of military contact both in trading resources and in giving cities to each other. He then sat back and waited for the trap to spring thinking "I'd really get into this game and spend some serious money when evony proves to me that the money invested isn't wasted playing a game that others can 'automate to dominate'"

    Then he waited. . . . .

    Its a nice tale and hopefully will have an ending soon.

    My good man, you are making assumptions i have been playing in the same alliance since the first days of server 29, have now went through a merge. I have been decimated and decimated others in wars, however it was not until I was involved in a war with an alliance that relied heavily on **** that i formed my opinion on them. If evony does not do something about **** this game will crumble, no one should be forced to make a moral decision in order to play competitively.

    also if you call a barely coherent steaming pile of gibberish an opinion so be it but please do not expect people to take you seriously.

    Difficult to read but understandable, it is because of situations such as what drove you to use **** that they must be stopped. For every player like you who decides to tuff it out there is probably ten that just quit. From a dollar and cents point of view this is terrible for evony, advertisements and marketing cost money so each player that leaves whether they are paying or not is revenue lost.
