    The bots spam the server causing these delays...

    Elvis and Bruce Lee are alive I tell you, alive.
    <sarcasm btw>

    The botters did not move to an old existing server. If anything, these were you regular players that were upset with this captcha and they moved. Then again, why would anyone move to an older server at this stage of the game? I know people who have asked me to come to another server, but the server is always the newest one. No way to play catch-up after the players there have 2 years on you.

    You need to stay away from numbers, they do not suit you.

    Yes I will do this as soon as I'm out of holiday.

    Default Captcha :)

    Well if this stops botting without wrecking gameplay then im all for it. O for the days where i could farm npc's that are not all bot emptyed.

    If however it messes up my attacking defending or general gameplay the its goodbye from me.

    Do I trust Evony to get this one right? hmmmm, well lets just say im keeping an open mind. Im watching with interest though, this could make or break Evony

    ok fine but Im still not finding it believable, the lag has always been bad on ss60 since the merge took place, over the last month I admit it was worse, dont you think most of those new accounts created were flatfiller accounts because you keep demolishing our npc fields, in the last five days you have done two npc clearances and we always get a rise in new accounts created when you do this, someone creating a new account on an old server just to bot from is a bit beyond my comprehension, most of the botters are big account holders and no Im not saying all big account holders or pointing fingers at anyone, how could a new account botted or otherwise hope to compete with some of the accounts on our server it doesnt make sense, If you had said one of the new servers I would have accepted that.
    I also know dead accounts dont cause lag what I was trying to point out was the fact that there was far too many merges and far too many players/cities were crammed into the server, and so it led to the problems we are faced with today. This server has not ever functioned correctly from day one.

    well there is an online website http://colorfilter.wickline.org/
    on this website you can test websites to see how color blind people see the screen. it is quite usefull. my bf often uses it to test the new websites he is making as part of his work.
    lol and btw i do have dyslectia myself and well captcha's are often a frustration for me. because they are not very easy to read for me. i have often been frustrated about them on other websites... causing me to give up or ask for help. there are some captcha's around on internet that i can read but most of them give me problems. hope that wont be the problem here ...

    I hope they help you out Desi and you can get back playing as quickly as possible. good luck to you

    Ummm, looks like established players ran to another established server at the first sign of captcha??
    are bots really so good you can start months/years after everyone else and be competetive?

    AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT STATEMENT IS CRAZY?

    I've been logged in on ss57 for 3 hours now. Had 1 captcha pop up, took me 3 tries, my fails refreshed to a new image, haven't seen the clock o' death once.

    Almost makes me wish I wasn't dead.
