    Reading in between the insults and the anger.

    • If this is to be implemented there should be an option to refresh for those almost impossible captchas.
    • An audio feature for those who suffer with dyslexia and eyesight conditions.
    • Just easier to read as currently they are too obscure.
    • It won't completely stop the botters but it's curbed it.


    I've said before I don't like captchas but they do help with curbing bots. However, they do need to be readable otherwise it'll drive everyone up the wall. Thought needs to be given to those who suffer with dyslexia, colorblindness and other eyesight conditions.

    There are a lot of new and infrequent posters here presently but this isn't unusual for every time a major change occurs a lot of people comment. I certainly can see both sides of the argument especially the readability angle, however if it's solvable by all human players then hopefully this captcha should improve the game for all.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    Look at all these whining little children. Evony finally found a way to possibly counter all you botting cheats. If it works I and many others I am sure will actually start playing again. Doesnt mean it will be impossible to take cities, always used to be possible. Just means you will have to fight smarter and not just overload with troops. Finesse will be needed instead of brute force.

    I haven't seen a captcha but I do know that they rarely affect colour blindness, I test for that using the farnsworth munsell test and can tell you that the captchas wont be any more of a challenge to colour blind people. However some of the pictures of captcha that have been put on here are very difficult to read so I can understand complaints about that. All in all a good idea, better you lose a fight to a captcha every 2-3 hours than lag every 2-3minutes.

    Here we go again with sweeping assumptions that because we complain we are botters........
    Just wait til you see the captchas then comment.......I myself am being asked for the damn things quite often most illegible so because I fail them Im asked repeatedly its quite hard to function with the damned thing popping up every 30 mins or so.......the longest you can go is 2 hrs but Ive never reached that stage.
    As well as colorblindness there are folks with dyslexia and those sight impaired they have great difficulties with it.

    I'm sorry if I don't quite understand this (I have to admit that I've not read all of the posts!)

    I've been playing for 2.5 years and have NEVER used a BOT.
    What I'd like to know is;-
    I log on after maintenance and stay logged on all day, I check back every few mins to make sure that my birdie isn't flashing
    Now, what if I go out? (or go to bed etc) Will a window pop up?

    I applaude Evony for trying to stop people from using BOTS, and to make the game fairer, but what I don't understand is the 'specifics'

    Since any evony bot up to date will not be programed to answer capchas,it will not answer them.If you don't answer the capchas then you cannot play on your account till you do.So bots will be become useless.So players will stop using them. Thats evonys' plan,but there are disadvantages for actual players too.

    That's EXCACTLY what I don't understand. I don'use a BOT, but I keep logged on all day (it stops people from knowing - via spies- what time you log on)

    So are my farmers/building/research going to be stopped because I'm not here to answer question?

    Very confuddling

    Ophy,There is a big disadvantage to this.
    sitution:You are defending against a series of hits which are timed to the second,and your opening and closing gates against a mixture of SBs and rainbows.Then the capcha comes up,and you read the capture,then you find out a rainbow hit you when your gates closed.
    Result:destruction of wall defenses.
    That could have being prevented,why wasn't it? because of the captcha.

    Hmmm...I don't think so,but you should create an account on ss57 or ss60 to find out or find someone here you can tell you otherwise.

    Default Honestly

    After 2 hours of log on attempts I request the captchas be removed. This is not solving a problem and after two years im seriously considering deleting my account. I need to be able to log in and farm when i have the time not when the server is working and not working. I'd rather fight a botter than the server and as my alliance has lost houses due to the inability to log on I'm sure they feel the same.
