    Let me try to explain this, because of the way this would work it is a little wierd...

    Let say 10% fewer food needs.

    player 1 farms for 1 hour and would have a 10% larger army
    Player 2 farms for 2 hours and would have a 22% larger army
    Player 3 farms for 10 hours and has a 125% larger army

    Or something like that I forget the exact numbers off of the top of my head, but basically if we reduced food needs it actually favors players that spend more time in the game even more.
    are you having a laugh with that answer?????
    you try farming with a relatively small food neg of 12 mill an hour, all npc's are empty, and your wasting your troops constantly hitting tens, then of course evony clears flats and its mostly 5 and 10 npc's they remove, so not only do you have to waste farming time, flipping flats, all you npc's are gone so theres nothing there to farm

    Not gonna happen. According to this post:

    http://bbs.evony.com/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=371

    the image is sent as a base 64 encoded compressed bitmap.

    The extremely poor quality of the captcha is undoubtedly due to a small amount of image data being passed from the server in order to keep response time "reasonable". Imagine, if you will, if they had to pass a 1MB compressed bitmap encoded as a base 64 string... the time it would take....

    Why not make 3-5 servers strictly "bot" servers? Evony would keep gaining mass amounts of income from these servers. I think having 2 options like this work keep people and evony happy.

    My Two Cents

    Ok lets stop some of this sillyness on what the captcha is and is not.

    This is a player submitted screenshot of the captcha. I will admit that some are harder to read, but you can always select a new one (or fail 4 times and get a new one with no penalty,) I am not sure if the change to add a reload button is in yet, but this is a feature we will be putting on.

    This though is representational of most of the captcha images. As you can see being color blind does not change anything, our captcha does not rely on light colors on a light background. There will always be a brightness difference between the background and the text. Example a partial red colorblind (red deficient) person like me would have problems with a light red/pink on a grey background.

    You can also see that there are no squiggly lines as some people are complaining about. I am not saying they have not seen the captcha on the server, but they have not seen the captcha on the server. ;-)

    So is game play "locked or frozen" until the the code is entered? I often send rein or transports late at night... expecting things are done in the morning.

    So what does "ignoring" the pop do? How much time do you have have to enter data? What if you are doing a timed attack... and the popup shows up? What about defending multi waves where you need to heal or open close gates? What about building walls for the next wave?

    Again, the question, what game function is stopped when the popup shows up?

    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.
    well said

    @ Thantium

    of all the pics you could have use, you picked the best one which is 100% easy to type in? im talking about words and numbers that are touching each others or are out of frame.

    Ok, i'm going to say this real quickly.

    What about the flat filling noobs? I think most everyone would agree that they are a much bigger problem at this moment as you can't even random port into any state unless it is around Server Sweep time.

    I would like to know if anything is going to be done to stop this or if the "Captcha" is the only thing that is trying to reduce the number of problems on the servers.

    Thanks.
