    The captcha we went with is not affected by colorblindness.

    As Dawnseeker stated we can easily plug in other captchas if this one is broken. We looked at some other captchas we looked at are in theory harder to crack but are harder to answer quickly. This does not mean that we think the one we have is crackable easily, there is just one very very commonly used one out there that is known to be pretty much immune for cracking and is used all over the internet, it is just a little hard to read.
    it does affect the colorblindness, some of the letters or numbers are merged or extrememly deformed (not surprising with Evony) that no one will ever get it right, i could send you all the screenshots of the captcha i gets, about 1/4 of them are impossible to read due to only the merged characters, 1/2 times i get wrong is due to similaries in characters.

    Yup. Another poster (I thought it was neko but he emailed me saying it wasn't him, so I don't recall who the poster was...) on a different thread already indicated bot programmers have already adapted their software for the captcha. One apparently prompts you for the captcha with a pop-up window and a different one supposedly forwards the captcha image to a decaptcha server for processing.


    Dumb idea with no result....
    Pretty much.


    I think all this will do is encourage more multi-accounting. Botters will simply run more farming bots while they're "online" to listen for the captcha chime so they can type it in.


    This "solution" is silly. It is akin to giving an aspirin to someone with a headache caused by a brain tumor. The aspirin isn't going to cure the brain tumor.

    If you want bots and multiaccounts to go away, you have to address the ROOT CAUSE of WHY people bot/multiaccount in the first place. Until you do that, people will continue to bot, bots will simply get smarter (true, it may take a few weeks or a month for bot programmers to adapt their software, but eventually they will -- if they already haven't, according to the other aforementioned poster), and in the long term nothing will really change.

    So are you saying that if I decide to close the window and not play instead of entering the capcha that my account gets flagged?

    Please let me know if this is the case ASAP, because I have been using the capcha as a signal to get some fresh air and take a break for a while :-)

    I think its a great idea, but as people have said in previous posts... you will lose alot of players, but i guess that would open up more spaces on the map for honest players

I have a 23 inch LCD monitor, brand new crisp, still smells like the box it came in and I can hardly read them - it will mean the end of precision timing and brilliant last second reinforcements, make no mistake. You say it's not affected by colorblindness, I say if YOU are not colorblind, your quote means nothing. Good Day To You Sir.
    If it is to small for you, I would assume the general chat is also to small for you, please try the accessibility control panels and enable the "zoom feature" this will make it easier to read.

    The Magnifier is perfect for you, and with a 23 inch screen you should have more then enough room to use the zoom window. Or what screen resolution are you using currently?

    I'm pretty dumb when it comes to tech stuff, but will the captcha's use up more of evony's processing abilities and thus cause an even greater increase in lag?

    Dawnseeker and Thantium is awesome!!! (again it has nothing to do with anything)

    your gonna throw that at them? use the magnifier? hell, your captcha pics are awful, it looks like bunch of squares are bundled together to make a letter or number that looks like its been done by a 5 yrs old with building blocks. you need better captcha resolution, like a huge image and resize it to smaller size and the letters or numbers will looks like a Blu-ray version of Captcha.
