    We have modified the captcha to add a reload feature so if you get one of those unreadable ones. This will help on those really hard to read ones. You asked for it, and you got it! We will still be working on it and tweaking some things.


    As a second note I need to reiterate what the last 3 pages have been complaining about.

    THE CAPTCHA WILL NOT LOG YOU OUT, THE CAPTCHA WILL NOT LOG YOU OUT.


    If you are AFK and the captcha comes up, the game will continue to run, and you should still see chat. You will not be able to enter any game commands, untill the captcha is answered.

    If you are being logged out when the captcha pops, it is because your "client" has sent in commands while the captcha is up, this can only happen if you are using a bot, as the normal game client cannot do this, and has been extensively tested.

    I'm reasonably confident that this system is working 100% correctly as in 100 pages of posts not one person has said that the pop up occurred and they got logged out while playing. I'll say that again.... Amazingly only people that AFK are saying they got logged out. I had the captcha up unanswered on the entire QA testing group of computers running multiple windows/tabs/ browsers OS' etc. About 75 different accounts and not a single one logged off last night, and they all had the captcha up when I looked at them. All stayed logged in.

    For the people that have submitted CS tickets in regards the captcha logging them off, we have asked them if they would like for us to review the player log data, with a warning that if we see bot use in the player logs ( pretty easy actually with a manual review) We will suspend and or close the account. So far every single person that was told this asked that we not inspect their account. We are looking for a example that we can verify where a captcha logged a player out while they where afk.
    IF ANY ONE WORKING FOR MY COMPANY WERE TO SEND OUT E-MAILS OR SPEAK TO CLIENTS IN THE MANNER AS ABOVE. THEY WOULD BE FIRED ON THE SPOT.

    lmao. what sort of customer relations are u running. How do u respect to ur paying customers

    Why dont u do what ur customers are asking for.
    1) make bot only servers.
    2) make glitch only servers.
    3) make pure farming servers (for ppl who dont like farmville)

    I bet at the end of the day evony wil make more money from the 1st 2 types of servers.

    Hi,

But what kind of fools do you take us for? Our cities produce more than that in a single 10 minutes. That is an insult. Take it away. I believe it was Dawnseeker saying they were against it. While for different reasons than I am, I?m sure, he was right. Get rid of the insulting gift.
    No, don't take it away. Compensation packages are the new warehouse. I plan to use them to store resources in the event that one of my cities gets farmed.

    I would agree that the quantum could have some upward adjustment, and also prefer if all five resources - i.e. include gold - could be included in the package.

    The intention is good. A reward for the inconvenience of the captcha. Some images are difficult to read, and I would argue that those images suggest the size of the reward should be greater.

    Just wait untill your boss will see revenue is dropping. You want to make profit with most people having fun or you want to have a 'fair'game while dropping a large part of profit?

    All you elite programmers will be out of service unless u find a way to attract new players. Looking at the advertisements Evony created; I'm pretty sure your boss won't be happy to see such a high amount of money getting claimed back. You get paid to keep the money incoming, not to bring justice. You're not hired to output police tasks.

    Let's see the 'fair' players with their 100k archer warcities spend money like us veterans with -300mill upkeep warcities who port 10times a week and put excal+nations weekly + all buffs.

    I can't see why you wouldn't want this to be implemented... With improvements - of course, it could simply become a very basic part of the game...

    It will definately hinder botters, as they attempt to bypass the system, I thoroughly doubt it will work, but it is definately an improvement...

    Well, on the revenue part, Ferrari is a very expensive car, but only few buy them. Fiat is a cheap one on the other hand.

    And yet Ferrari is owned by Fiat. So all those big players while do spend a lot, all of them together may only spend 5-10% of what evony gets per server per month which is most likely the case.

    A common mistake is that people believe that some 500 players are responsible for the main income on each server.

    If Evony didn't make endgame require 24/7 farming of NPCs just to feed your army so you can play the rest of the game, the bot problem would be 5% of what it is now. Just saying. Implementing captcha doesn't solve the problem at all.

    A lot of players who bot are probably at their computers a good deal of time, all that is going to happen is the bots will get players to input the captcha whenever it comes up. Or bots will start account sharing even further and set it up so they can have someone on at all times to check for captcha. Just about every player in every alliance knows everyones password anyway.

    Evony shouldn't be fighting bots, Evony should be finding ways to make botting redundant.

    GUYS!!!!!!!

    you all still arguing for no captcha, its coming, you all know it is. its far too much of a cash cow not to.

    imagine all that money evony is looking forward to in vestas and packages to try and maintain the armies people have worked on for sooooooooo long.

    its age 1's final days, there have been NO new users in some time - there are NO LINKS to get there!

    Coiners are being milked by an obvious opportunity, and all evony has to do is force you to follow the rules - quite funny in some ways.

    Evony doesnt WANT age1 to continue long term, they just taking what they can until they can close the servers down.

    its THEIR game, THEIR business, whether you agree with it or not is mostly irrelevant. We arent forced to stay and play the game.

    What they should have done is make their own official one that is recognised by the servers and skips the captcha. bet they could have made a few pennies from that!

    What do you mean final days? Do you work for Evony and know something we do not? There are new users and new servers, a new server just opened up 8 days ago. No links? What page do you use to sign in?

    They need to add captcha to the new servers. Let the people that want it, go to it. This will also allow them to tell new users what they are in for.

    I think what he means by "No new users" is that all of the players on new servers now come from other servers, so there aren't any "New" players, just old ones joining new servers
