    Default How to know

    Im just curious on something how does evony know if someone account sharing or whatever becuase i would hate to be accused because i play in public areas like work, starbucks and other locations that share internet connection. will the innocent be safe unlike last year when many were wrongfully banned, or will evony strike first then ask questions later?

    Well, i think Evony can trace IPs, so they would know if you playing at home or in public places, but I could be wrong I dont worry much about getting banned.Also, wrong place to post this, belong in the Questions section, and less red and big font....we can see what you typing

    I guess suspending me for a day changed me...NOT

    Ardee, you will be missed.

    In telling how cheaters are found, it becomes easier to not be caught. I'm sure we do not want that to happen. If you have someone to report, use help centre.

    No one was ever wrongfully banned for account sharing. Its very easy to tell if people are playing from a public location or they are logging into each other's accounts in different parts of the country or world.

    If someone plays in a public area, they'll be fine. If they are logging into each other's accounts to unfairly attain a military, economic or logistical advantage they could be permanently banned at any moment, as clearly stated in the terms and conditions and game rules.

    To answer the original posters question, we will strike first and not ask questions at all. See this post for additional clarification on what is and is not allowed in terms of account use.

    I'm reopening this thread to allow discussion. Please be advised that accusations of cheating are not allowed in this forum and if this turns into a bash fest I'll just close the thread and issue infractions.

    Reps are not going to share that information. If they give too much information, then it becomes easier for cheaters to make workarounds to avoid the sentry software that Evony might use. If they share info on their methods of catching cheaters, it only make it easier for cheaters to avoid being caught.

    ok thank you Dawn for the answer and for re-opening the thread. also ill like to say i understand and wouldn't want any evo reps giving out there plans on how they catch i just wanna know the innocent are safe, but i think i should clarify my point. what about the people who were banned last year or had they army and defenses stripped (a few in my alliance) only to find they was innocent and had everything returned plus extra towers

    Hello from the Central CS Office!

    Trust me we have super secret Ninja ways to address this problem. Logging in remotely is something that alot of people do. People also log in from work and home, we are aware of this and our systems are built around this.

    Being the Host of several alliances, I can for sure say that multi-accounting runs wild throughout Evony. I can spot spy accounts easily. And it never fails, when I boot them and scout them they all have 1-2 barracks and 4 resource fields, yet have 300k+ prestige and been playing a month or more.

    Some people have so many accounts they can?t even keep up with it. I personally have reported players with screenshots of them openly admitting to multi-accounting in World Chat, yet they are still there months later.

    The fact is, Evony will never be able to stop the multi-accounting. Too many people have 2 connections in home or are on routers not password protected in their neighborhood. Now that you can play on smart phones, multi-accounting is even worse.

    All the top 20 alliances or more have spy accounts in their alliance, and probably more than 1. How about the multi-account colonizing themselves, they know they can?t be attacked while under suppression mode. Ruins the game if you can?t attack someone in my opinion.

    Too many loopholes that could easily be fixed. Simple solutions. And starts by human investigation, not a program that sweeps.

    I am a ?ninja? when it comes to finding multi-accounts. I will work for free?

    I know of many multi-accounters and account sharers. I do not know of any that have been caught and permabanned.

    Maybe some that I knew in the past have been banned, and I'm just unaware, since I lost track of them as time goes on. Maybe some people are caught and I never know. I used to report them a lot. But, NOONE I ever reported was banned. At least not in the time I watched. After reporting a player, I would typically make sure to keep an eye on them for at least a month, just to see if the rules were enforced.


    I'm sure multis and sharers are pursued.
    I'm sure multis and sharers are caught.
    I'm sure multis and sharers are punished.
    I have just never seen it happen.
    I don't think I will ever see it, unless Evony gets really serious about a crackdown.

    I am not accusing anyone of account sharing. But it happens, alot. And in Age II often times the owners of State Capital Historical Cities and Atlantis share the account. When the Historical City gets attacked speech texts are applied around the clock and/or praying. And it does not matter what time the Historical City is attacked, someone logs into the account usually within minutes of it being attacked. In real life with a single player account, that is just not possible. The only way these things are possible is by account sharing. I would propose that Evony look into account sharing more especially on Level 16 HC's and Atlantis. It should be easy enough to determine if the account is being shared simply by watching the IP addresses, login times, etc...
    And if Evony only focused on Atlantis and L16 account sharing reports, then their job would be small. I cannot imagine Evony trying to do that for every single player city. But key Age II HC's are a must.
