    Can we bring back the girls from the original evony ads as captchas? perhaps we have to guess their bust size, maybe even which site they were stolen from? C'mon, gotta give us something here

    Speaking to you as an individual, you are lambasting Thantium for his "wide paintbrush", but I do not see you speaking out against the people using their own wide paintbrushes and making inflammatory / derogatory statements about people who dislike botting / cheaters. If you want to speak out about people making those kinds of sweeping statements, at least have the integrity to call out both sides of the issue on it.

    The success rate on answering the captcha by the second try is around 99% I think.

    Latency (lag) has been greatly reduced on both ss57/60


    I will say that so far it looks promising, as for adding it to other existing servers that has not been decided, nor has keeping it in place on these two servers 100% decided. We are still monitoring and planning some tweaks to the system, and we are constantly monitoring and evaluating this system.
    Ummm ok player population may have dropped but many have holidayed, some have quit due to the intrusion into gameplay, It has taken me over 12 hrs to log in and when I get as far as the captcha I have to re-enter it 7 times because its totally illegible, of course lag has dropped......it hasnt stopped though has it?
    I submitted a CS request on the login issue and the mail I got back was laughable, It started by telling me that you were aware there was an issue and please be patient as you were working on it, and in the next paragraph its telling me its been fixed and my ticket has been closed because you answered my question........ that was 2 days ago and I havent been able to login succesfully on my first fifty tries since.

    you ever think thats most of the ones in holiday are the botters so they dont lose the billions in resources to the honest players

    all be it some legit players are in holiday but im sure the odds are 95 percent in holiday are the bots

    my other question for u..you do understand there will always be away around this your only stopping botters for a short period of time with captchas so since the amount of botters isnt as large as people say then why come out with this new feature that effects everyone because of the "small" few that do bot lag is getting better on the test servers due to great amount of players in holiday mode and not playing it might be me but im sorry i dont see where this idea will make any great improvements to the game as a whole

    And those forecasts are? You can't just say it is not as large as some people thought and not tell us how many there were.

    And yes the captcha is an experiment, although the data on ss57/60 looks good so far. Basically saying that you have succeeded in forcing the players of said servers to holiday or quit the servers due to the extremely rediculious captcha system, which in turn brought down bot use and lag

    We have not decided if it will remain, extend to all servers, or just for new servers. So the decision makers of the game have yet to decide if they are going to continue to screw the customer base ? Or are you guys trying to find a way to back up while saving face on the matter. Because honestly this decision will kill this game, the attempt to stop botting is commendable but the way you are going about it is like nuking the planet to kill a roach infestation. Only problem here is the roaches will still live and just go on to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new games

    Yes we are looking at audio, and yes we are looking at a reload button for those captchas that are close to impossible. I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is something that should have been considered before implementing the current captcha. Personaly I will take a quess at saying the captcha in use now was the cheapest one available which is why it was selected. Nothing like using a bandaid to cover a cut artery.

    based on the amount of negative feedback from the customers who are willing to waste personal time posting on these forums you folks seriously need to rethink this before you complete kill the game that you are already ruining.

    Actually can you or the others that say a vast majority are holidaying on ss57 and ss60 show proof of this. Show the raw data of actual number of players active and those holiday. I would surmise that you can not. So your proponent to this argument is flawed with out actual factual evidence.

    As seeing the only ones who would have the raw data is the good folks at Evony themselves. An with no reason to lie or withhold such information. An since they are not reporting such, then the only conclusion is the vast majority going into a holiday is a shock statement in a dying cause.
