    Performance might be better after Captcha is introduced but the game will be even more retarded when the server gets filled up with new accounts holding lvl10 cities for its main account.

    Many ppl have tried to play this game legit but reach the point where it was either quit or cheat because others were cheating and had gotten much stronger, had better heroes etc. You could argue that using a bot and having multiple accounts are established practices that ppl have adjusted too and therefore cannot be removed.

    Basically I don't care if Evony allow botting and multiple accounts or not but they cannot remove one of them. I want an even battlefield.
    You would love my 3 page letter to Evony that pretty much puts this in an, obviously, much wordier way. Of course, that's if you don't fall asleep by the end of it. I don't mind saying here that you are ON THE MONEY!!

    I must honestly say a curse escapes me every single time i get a captcha, where ever. I really, really hate the darn things.

    dont fall for that line, it has little to do with performance - other than them wanting to cram everyone on to as few servers as possible for the last days of age 1.

    no bots = many vestas = lots of cash until age 1 can finally be closed down

    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.
    that dose not fix any problems of a incoming attack
    the captch pops up u have a incoming attack 10 scout bombs 20 layered attacks mec attacks all land the same time

    u cant do a thing to protect yourself no open close gates no changing wall defence no recalling your camp attacks after each hit to keep them layers

    its retarded what u guys are doing come on honestly think about it

    and for them people who find it hard next to impossable to see these numbers and letters just means it takes longer to get game play function back by that time your citys are empty whats the point in playing

    there was called for a lot of extras
    a delay button so u might have some chance to save your game that u spent money on and a lot of time making

    a sound option for them people who have problems with that sort of thing


    basicly u making an option in a war game that gives u a massive disadvantage in game play ill say again u guys drinking to much magic tea its retarded

    They can't close Age I unless every single person voluntarily deletes their account (very unlikely unless they introduce something into the game which is really annoying/repetitive/interferes constantly with gameplay - which itself could lead to court cases from people claiming to have been strongarmed into desisting in an activity in which they have invested time and/or money) and there are no new accounts being created. They would be in breach of contract; having promised that it will be free 'Forever' they may not discontinue the service. They would have to return millions of dollars paid, may have to pay court costs. I imagine someone would also find a way to sue for loss of time over a number of months/years, having invested that time in a game they were promised, in writing, that they would be able to continue to play indefinitely. They would not be able to circumvent this problem by moving Age I players to Age II, because of the large differences in gameplay, and the fact that they advertise it as a completely separate game. So I don't think we need worry about losing Age I.

    @Thantium or Dave

    Please see my PM to both of you.

    Please look into what I'm saying, or please make N4 your next captcha test.

    Thanks...
