Someone wrote a HTTP automation script which goes thru the evony registration page and creates thousands of new user accounts, each one getting a new flat. When they run it long enough, it eventually fills up all flats on the server.

One of the top 5 alliances on my server runs it whenever Evony clears out inactives, in about a day or two all the flats are filled.

The only way to correct this problem is Evony has to add a captcha to the new player screen, or require email validation (even that really won't work since they can simply use a gazillion gmail or yahoo accounts)....
