    @Dawn how about image captchas?

    Taken from: http://www.sitepoint.com/captcha-problems-alternatives/

    Tests that use images other than words may be generally easier for users, since all they have to do is comprehend an undistorted picture, rather than decode distorted language. A prominent (and, I believe, pioneering) example of this is KittenAuth:



    The system shows you a set of nine images, three of which are kittens. You have to identify the three kittens in order to pass authentication.

    That case sets precedent.

    Yes, they SHOULD make the captcha better, but tossing around threats of leveraging the ADA is quite futile, given the established case law.

    I'm aware of it. That case is not applicable here. Evony does own, lease or operate a public accomodation, i.e., evony.com. It is my understanding that complaints have already been filed with more than one state attorney general and the Justice Department.

    Dont think so. But I holidayed on my main server, because I am too busy. But I did login to my account on another server and did not meet it, so dont think so.

    Public accomodation means that people can PHYSICALLY be at the location, as in their bodies, not their computers / virtual selves / avatars. I'd challenge you to physically walk into the location hosting the domain. You cannot, at least not without going through a lot of authorizations, since it is hosted out of a private company's data center.

    I suggest you read up on the actual case law and what the terminology really means rather than try to posture with threats that have no teeth.

    and it hurts legit players more so than botters
    Can you explain how it hurts live players more than botters? Botters cant play the game at all. Live players simply have to enter a few characters.

    We're not going to debate any legal issues here. The ADA does not apply to websites and this entire argument is fairly absurd. If you wish, feel free to complain to whatever legal authority you like, but keep it off the forums, please.

    I like image captchas but it may be that they are more solvable by bots, or there could be technical or other limitations with using them in the context of this game.

    because botters will get a new program that will just bypass it,

    live players it shows up in places when yu dont want it

    i mean ya get it wrong ya get bumped off, then the problems getting back into the server, yes that happens to both botter and player,

    @ the bolded part, what about the ppl that have posted here saying they cant read it, cant see it, ppl that are short/long sighted, disabled that who HAVE posted in this thread.

    if yu go live beta testing something and its wrong, withdraw, reprogram resend. this started friday, its now monday UK time, 4 days near enough, and the captcha isnt ready for the number of ppl who have eyesight problems, any type of disability that prevents them going past the captcha and thus playing the game, but no offical evony response apart from ''were working on it'' so for now refuge, and not be able to login?

    the captcha yu have implemented is FAR from ready to go out for beta live testing, the letters cannot be distinguished from other letters
    EG I as to L

    1 as to I
    8 as to B
    C as to sidewise U

    yes those are happening,

    just before ya ruin everyones gaming experience on ss57, be it legit or non-legit players at least have a system that works,




    i cant read that my eyesight is far from bad, how is that helping legit players?

    I agree, that one is bad. The problem seems to be that they scrunch letters up too much and end up having one or more letters intersecting with each other.

    ...but it is too difficult for most, and thus needs a "get new image" / "refresh" capability.

( and dont u dare says its my comp ) so all this being said i give you guys a year.. tops

    The " captcha" thing they are doing is a good thing . Not most of the server is ready to quit , im not ready to quit i know a few people who would probably come back to this server and play if the b0ts were dealt with which is what is going on i assume .

    I ( for once) have full npcs around me now since this started .

    You can go back and look at my past posts on these forums , im usually very vocal at saying what i think . I was so p1ssed at the lag for a while .

    Now evony is putting in measures to deal with illegal activity thus the Server has been running 10 times as good since then .

    and please dont get me wrong its nice, that after 2 years+ ya finally doing something about it, but this system is mightly flawed,

    and ss57 and the ppl on there are basically being used as guinea pigs, guinea pigs that have invested alot of RL cash into the makings of there accts, which are now being screwed over by half hearted systems and false thoughts.
