I would say give it a chance, only the true botters/Cheaters would be against this. As a long term run, it could/will solve latency problems on servers as less data will be sent in/out over a small period of time.

I love evony , but cant compete with people that can be here 24/7 ....
if it's anything like the thing you need to guess on ticketmaster it's over for me i can never guess those things

I dearly hope that everyone picks up the dripping sarcasm .... I am dealing with CAPTCHA; it is extremely hard to read which causes me to do it incorrectly which in turn causes CAPTCHA to appear more often and interrupt the game -- it is truly awful and I feel for the servers where it will be appearing -- I will likely quit evony entirely because of it.
It's great that something is at last being done about those pesky bots. This way also means fewer people will be banned too, which works out best for both players and Evony.
Good work!
Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!
Ummmm sorry beg to differ, botters are still there, Lag hasnt improved all we have now is the added hinderance of having to try and decipher these stupid captcha's so we can continue to play, No they are not easy to read they are almost illegible making it very difficult for those with poor sight or dyslexic members.
I personally have fallen foul of this new system with problems trying to log in eventually after 10hrs of trying managed to get in for an hour, only for another captcha to pop up offering a prize, I answered, whether it was correct or not I do not know as I sat there for an hour with the clock going round.
Why did you take the two most badly affected servers and decide to test on them? Was the reasoning that already most on these servers are so frustrated they have given up that losing more on these servers doesnt matter?
All this new system has done is to force even more to quit or most are in holiday in the hopes Evony will come to their senses and see this method is wrong.
I also want to ask how Evony is adressing the log in issues? at most I can only ever log in twice in one week straight after maintenence, rest of time Im trying for between 3 and 12 hrs to try and get in, Im sure captcha's play no part in this.

This is the goal. It should not affect live players at all. You might see a Captcha only once every few hours.
We chose servers with the most latency problems, because they will benefit most from reduced botting. The fix will not be immediate, but we expect to see improvement over time.
We understand that we may get fewer purchases because of this, as bot users decide to quit or stop paying. However, we believe the eventual outcome will be an even better and more fun game environment.

Best idea I heard since I started playing over 1.5 years ago. Get rid of bots and if people want to quit because they can't cheat any more...well don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out....but perhaps Evony should also roll out the no farming idea from Age II into Age I.
Well at least a 125K mech attack is finally going to mean something here!![]()
