    True every little bit helps but seems they have a work around for the captcha but it will cost abit of money.. hopefully will deter afew...

    Either that or have half the cities with 1 farm and make just enough porters to cover the food loss, then move the res from that city to a city with no porters, and then attack this city with 100k cav, nice and fast

    Markets help make this a very lucrative system...

    Do they pop up when you are doing something or when you are idle ... I have my evony account logged in all day (not running a bot) and I check in through out the day ... I don't want to risk getting banned for simply leaving my account logged in.

    Unless they deploy the captcha to all servers, it won't make a bit of difference for my server. The only thing will be a "deterrent" that maybe, just maybe, someday a botter on my server might have to pay to bot, otherwise they're good to go with the current free bots, as there is very little chance that anything will ever happen to them

    I'm glad Evony is trying to beat the bots!!
    This makes me interested in playing again.
    Anyone know how long until all servers have captcha?

    ditto... in RL, i run an application used by many, and if I were to release an update like this i'd lose credibility and customers.

    At least throw a "hey, we did something new/good"

    Ok I only got through about 30 pages on this forum so if I repeat something someone else said I apologize.

    The bot has been here almost since this game went from civony to evony, I played server 5 from the start and in late Dec. '09 I decided to use the bot to keep up with the rest of the server, lets be honest, evony was handing out 3 day holidays to all they caught, as I saw it the risk was worth the offense in order to stay competetive. I saw several players given 3 bans 4 or 5 times with no real penalty, oddly on my second offense I got banned, such is life. Now on server 133 I see that 75% of the server is now using the bot and that is a conservative %, and again we are talking about doing something about it.

    My question here is why just this rule? Why not the use of multiple accounts on a single server? Why not cracking down on abusive language on WC? Those that know me from 133 will laugh at this since I can be a bit abusive at times in WC myself, but they dont realize I do this to mock the rules and the enforcement of them, I have reported at least 25 players in my time playing evony and to date I have recieved 0 thats ZERO responses from evony leading me to believe you dont care. I watched in WC one night as 2 players told a former alliance (female) member they hoped she got gang raped by farm animals, I sent it to evony as a report and nothing! Here is my challenge to evony IF you want to enforce rules, enforce them all or not at all, not just the ones you feel like enforcing. My wife plays Batheo, a fairly new game with some similarities to evony but in my opinion not as much fun, and if you can believe this, it is impossible to log into more then 1 account on a single PC at a time per server. If you are serious about stopping the bot then find out how they do it and copy their system, if players cant be logged into more then 1 account per PC the bot issue is pretty much over. Here is another idea, reset EVERYONES password and send them a new one to their personal email account, this will also reduce the number of bot accounts as many bots are former player accounts that have quit the game, without access to the persons email players wont be able to log in.
    In the almost 3 yrs I have been playing evony the one thing I have seen from you is that the rules dont matter to you at all, in fact you do more to encourage the breaking of the rules as you do to deter them from being broken.

    Enforce them all or none!
