    yes but as you have seen multipule times befor there not to bright in impimention new policys i can understand the bot lag but this new program will take alot of not botters with it i promise you they will see soon enough when the high dollar accounts are banned even thos they dont bot this program the have implimented if working correctly will be great but often in evonys case this program rarely works right we will all crash

    I played 2 servers before i was merged ss57 and they were by far the best (essentially bot free) ss57 has been my least favorite server but now things might be fun again

    Come on and flame me for supporting anti-botting measures lol
    Hey Bird Hun, I totally agree with you. My last 2 servers were so much better then ss57 as well. I am happy to see Evony trying to fix the lag and botting issues. I had almost given up hope. botting and lag had gotten so bad I was on the verge of quiting. Since they have implimented this lag has gone down, NPCs have food in em again, and in the long run it should make the game fun to play again. It does seem like most of the complainers are those that rely on the bot to do everything for them. Im sure some are gonna quit because they dont have time to feed huge armies. I even know a few friends that may, although I will hate to see them go, overall I think this is gonna improve gameplay for everyone.

    There are a few issues with the captcha, that need to be fixed. although most of the time I get it in a couple tries there are some that pop up where part of the letter is out of the box or turned so much you ant tell what it is and many that you cant tell the difference between like 1 and l.

    A few people are worried about attacking and defending... Would it be too hard to have an option to make a captcha appear and then he exempt for the next 30 minutes of captchas or something like that? So players will have no fears of one popping up when timing attacks or defending.

    Default Captcha & Comments

    So have 2 questions/comments - 1) I've been playing for 2 years now and routinely leave the game on unattended - whether at work or at home when I'm asleep (& no its NOT on a b0t!). I flip the screen up every few hours - back scroll to read conversations & check war reps. So, am I to understand that is now prohibited?

    2) Dawnseeker love hearing how Evony is always trying to improve the game - here are some suggestions that a number of your players would love to see implemented before captcha:
    1) stop removing level 5 & 10 npcs - most of us like being able to feed our troops
    2) Stop allowing new fake accounts to be generated using fake emails that need no verification
    3) Get rid of accounts with 0 pres that simply hang there - reset accounts? no idea but I have 3 within 20 miles of one of my cities
    4) Get rid of grave stone cities - you know the ones that were friends of ours that quit oh 18 months ago - or are you leaving them there so someone can try get access to use as an alt?
    5) stop having the bird flash for stupid 1 worker attacks

    I could carry on - but most of us have heard it all before.

    As for Captcha stopping botting? Probably will in the short term - but end of the day someone will find a way round it. Its human nature.

    I have trouble with those captcha's and hubby is color blind, which poses a difficulty in reading and entering the code. Also, if I'm about to time attacks, or defence, and have to enter a code while I'm defending, can't see it, and mistime things, i'm gonna be ****ed. I understand that evony wants to get rid of b0ts, but making it more annoying to use the system is not going to work.

    Dawnseeker is awesome!! (has nothing to do with the quote or this post btw)

    i loved SS29... things were simple and didnt require bot to compete with others. farming grounds is very crowded, npcs are like always empty, lag was horrible on SS57, never had those problems in the last 2 severs. but thumbs up for them to try anything i guess.
