Thread: cannot log into ss55 and 148

  1. #1

    Default cannot log into ss55 and 148

    I cleared ALL browser info
    I cleared ALL macromedia info

    I followed the new instructions, but both on mozilla and on Chrome, the load stops at 99%.

    I've been locked out for hours, this is just wrong.

    All players should have received mail notifications regarding this change in login policy.

    This had nothing to do with old issues. I've been playing for nearly a year.

    This login problem was due to the new login policy needing to go through the Evony Welcome page now. I DID do everything stated by that post, THEN I came here to find out why THOSE INSTRUCTIONS did not resolve the problem!!!

    When Evony changes something so major as the login policy, there should be a mail notification to all players.

    I agree.

    Thantium's post regarding this matter came way after they made the change. Would it be to much to ask to make a thread (or in-game mail) BEFORE you make these changes?

    Surely in the time evony has been running they have learnt that something as simple as changing the login process could have ramifications on players. Causing login problems, which can snowball into losing food, refuging army, attacks that you cant defend against.

    At least give people a little time to prepare just incase some people cant login after you have made the changes.

    Apparently, yes...

    Apparently, no...

    They see moves like this as super sekret and are to be elaborated upon only if there is sufficient uproar and only after the change has been made. It's their way of doing things, and they don't seem to want to change to a more customer-friendly type of process. The way it should be done is an annoucement and troubleshooting steps help page should be brought out at the same time as the change is made, but they do it their way...

    Not only that but this new change has major time expense for my experience. I am on a slow bandwith and suffer frequent drops from the Evony server.

    Up to now, I simply refreshed my page, entered info, and was back in instantly (sometimes only one server, sometimes several). This change means return to main page and selecting servers separately, doubles time out of game. 10 seconds difference may seem like little to some, but if you're in the middle of a timed attack or defense, 2 seconds makes a difference.

    Same for all who experience "lag time", refreshing used to be quick, now it is doubled in time.

    It always baffles me how every time we "upgrade" we always lose something in the process.

    If Evony servers didn't "lag" this would not be an issue, but since a majority of us experience lag and need to frequently refresh... it will not go over happily.

    Just to be clear, nothing was changed today except that you can no longer directly link into servers. The current homepage login process has been in place since Age II was released.

    Just because it's been around doesn't mean that it's the right process...

    The main issue is that's now a single point of failure. If the main web page goes down, so does the ability for people to log in. Previously it was only if the login servers went down. Now it's both...

    Also, there's a lot more TCP sockets being opened up to advertising companies that wastes bandwidth for me and others. I understand it's not a waste of bandwidth for you, as it's a money-maker, but I can address that by moving to Firefox and using AdBlockPlus, which I already have.

    Further, the Facebook stuff is just too tempting for Age I players to click on. There have been a few posts on here from people who have done that, and every now and then I see the "Lord123456789" (or whatever) cities showing up on Age I servers that should not be there.

    Then there's the potential for sending passwords in the clear and being stored in browser cookies / session data now rather than just in the Adobe Local Shared Object area. Potential...because I haven't validated that the data is being sent / stored in the clear. It might not be. If it isn't, then I'll withdraw that commentary / critique...

    If it helps reduce the cheating, great, but it's far from perfect...
