    I haven't seen any bots or noobs stop in my server at all. Just a lotta hacked off players. In fact, the biggest botters in the server are still there, ones that the entire server knows about and hates. They've been reported multiple times, I don't see you dealing with them, instead you're doing stupid things like removing the autolink

    Ok Dawn. Lets see if you're right. I've got an experiment going and I'm taking screenies of it. I've also asked everyone around the area in question to NOT cap any of the empty flats (a portion of which used to be my lvl 5 farm that is now defunct). Already there is a flat-filler noob there. There's 17 other empty flats in my would be farming area to go. Lets just see how well Operation Cerebus has worked to stop the bot flat-fillers. I will include a screenie taken 1433 ST on Jan 18th, SS45. Since this morning, 1 new noob is there. Lets see how long it takes for the other flats to fill up with them, choking out my farming area. I'm not gonna cap any of them because what were npc 5s are now 6s and none of the others are worth farming. I'll cap them as they turn to 5's or 10's....if they get that far. So far, it's not too bad because there's only 1 noob. Last week it would have been filled by now.

    Oh, Dawnseeker, I see so much fail in this.

    Some random person ported out of a spot near one of my cities. In the few moments from the time I saw the open flat to the time I called back a hero from farming (just a couple minutes out) to attack the flat, lo and behold, brand new BP account there... a few hours later, an enemy city sits in the exact same spot. Coincidence? I think not. It's not the first time I've seen this happen around this same city, and this happened AFTER the new login thing started.

    This login crap is just that... crap.

    Just a suggestion... is there any way, for those of us who just play on one server, to have a "keep me logged in" check box, and "remember my password"? That's one reason I liked this particular game. I could log in with one click.

    The example, after enough feedback Evony changed it so Age II became its own game. It is that level of feedback Evony has now about these changes to the poorly done login screen.
    Number one: Luda never said Feedback was bad.
    Number two: I'm sorry, if you can't take thirty extra seconds to login, poor you.

Upsetting the players who pay your salary is no way to make money. If anything you will probably loose players. We play to have fun, if fun means working twice as hard every time you change something then where is the fun? THIS GAME IS FOR THE PLAYERS NOT FOR YOU! THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT SO PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS. :P
    Evony did this for the players, they did it to attempt to start the noob accounts from being created by bots, even if it doesn't work, they made an attempt, and that's a start when it comes to this problem.

    If you're to slow to figure out that when it sends you to another screen, and all you have to do is hit 'Play' to login, I'm sorry. It's not that hard.

    the front page login is useless as it wont save your email

    I'm sorry, but that's like saying you have to respect Vanilla Ice for trying to rap.

    So nothing will change! and the full state will be back...- well heard is back- thats why not logging back in at all would be best!

    we should start a new thread to suggest what game we could switch over to play...
