    Evony it's just like you are 20 years behind when it comes to security...

    Dumb idea with no result....
    Well, that is an awesome question! Assuming that they are able to code a bot to stop as soon as the captcha is sent... it turns out Bots are generally not as good as a real player, in any case this would still require the cheater to be infront of the computer to answer the captcha when it comes on screen. If a player wants to use a bot that is inferior to a real player while sitting in front of his computer, they can do that. Although, we will still be running our normal anti-botting programs on the servers to catch these players.

    We also have a few undocumented features in the captcha to address this, I can assure you that these will not affect players not using a bot.

    Seems like it will only make people spend more, because they will want the Vesta Blessings to last longer, players will know its a more even playing field and more will be coining to go back to having a bigger advantage over non-coiners, I think its a great idea, I however would like to see peoples IP's getting banned for multiple accounts(if not used as independent accounts) , botting, and other forms of cheating as listed in the rules of EVONY. I would like to see this implemented on the next new server, maybe if people experience a faster server with even playing field more positive comments will be posted and players who left will rejoin again. I think this is a great first step and hope it only continues to improve over time.

    Love the idea of this .. Get rid of those botters!!!

    Now - for those who have trouble reading them... Perhaps you could add a link at the bottom of the captcha (like battle reports) which can be pasted into chat and the alliance mates can help with solving it...?

    Though thinking about it .. this would enable a bot to paste the code in chat and collect the results - to complete the captcha, but maybe ... something along these lines - anyone else got any ideas?

    Ok..where to begin!! Lets try this..So evony believes it has found a solution to the botters..in my opinion coming from SS60 after numerous mergers..soo many players have more than 1 instant pult hero and instant political (walls) heroes at this point that when evony gets this realy going that the players who have been playing fair are still gonna be at a disadvantage due to the players who did bot over the past few years. Come on, 2000 att heroes with 400 intel..players with 9 cities and each city has a instant att hero and pol hero..far cry from being fair at this point.

    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.
    i know players on ss60 who are all saying the same thing " its impossible ! you input the catchpa and it says incorrect and if you do get it right it pops up again withing 30 mins " this will kill this game, listen to your customers ..not just 1 time new posters who miraculously appear from thin air into the forum.. listen to the players who have travelled with age 1 since beta

    one rep once said he wanted to remove the reason to bot not the botters, the whole reason botting came about was because of the first "improvement" that the dev's made by cutting the npc regen time from 1 hour to 8 hours .. roll that back then a few other features and then go zero tolerance with bots after a period of time return the game to its original format and everyone is happy.

    <7:10>[ssfgrgawer]: oh i understand using memebers to descout me, Good move. But causing the lag so i cant close gates is a tad unsporting.
    <7:14>[BUBBAA]: powering down the lagatron2000
    <7:16>[ssfgrgawer]: Nope that was all my scouts, i now have a total of 600k.

    We are always looking for new improvements for Evony to make it better, faster, stronger.

    Dawnseeker there used to be a problem (if not still) with firefox playing evony. Whenever somebody would click to gather quest a bookmark window would open and freeze the page up forcing you to restart the entire browser completly. will the capatcha cause the same problem? For example it might freeze up the window for those who dont have the best updated flash players..I already have to refresh 4-5 times a day i hope the capatcha will have no bad effect on that.

    ss26 was bot free for the most part not sure what happened but almost everyone is a bot on 56 it seems ;( would be nice if they were cleaned up by this but i'm sure the bot creators are using this test time on ss57 to test ways around it
