    This is the official evony forum... Does it need to be advertised? Click that "forums" button at the bottom of your evony screen.

    Ok, DawnSeeker, if you are truly looking for ways to make Evony better, why not implement the suggestion I have given to CS on more than one occasion? You took a step forward in creating the Security Code to protect a player's account (to some degree), however; you failed miserably with THE MOST important part of our accounts - THE PASSWORD!!! The Security Code needs to be added to prevent a person's password from being randomly changed by hackers or disgruntled alliance mates. There has been so much account theft on ss58 that your Tech Dept is backlogged (probably well into next year) that those who have spent lots of money are forced to "hurry up and wait" to have anything restored.
    Not to mention the fact that with all this lag (and from one IT Tech to another) due to the quantity of accounts being logged into daily not botting, players have lost heroes due to trying to dismiss crap heroes only to see their best hero disappear instead. All the dead accounts that are still around from our original servers, all the multi-accounting (which is also supposed to be against TOS rules), and the hundreds of people who log in daily per server is where your lag is from. The Evony screen alone takes up lots of my PC resources and creates cookies that use even more. A mainframe is the same. The more data that is transmitted to and from it, the more YOUR server lags, which creates the lag on our individual game servers.
    IMO, Evony is not looking for a true solution to the problem, rather re-directing the attention from themselves and putting it off onto the gaming community.

If a player wants to use a bot that is inferior to a real player while sitting in front of his computer, they can do that. Although, we will still be running our normal anti-botting programs on the servers to catch these players.

    We also have a few undocumented features in the captcha to address this, I can assure you that these will not affect players not using a bot.
    My evony is on 24/7, i only need to log in after maintenance. Only because i work online all the time. So when i'm not going to enter captcha i will be banned?

    If not, what prevents bot from simply not entering anything at all and stoping it's operation?

    I work in the game industry, and required to have an industrial grade firewall(It's not perfect or unbreakable, but it's much better then anything you can buy for personal use in the shop). Dawnseaker suggested to install evony toolbar. My firewall starts screaming in pain when i do so simply because of all the data it tries to pull out from your pc. So i will not install something that is really a virus and nothing else.

    All you told me about how to counter botters is nothing short of a joke, any person with fair understanding of codding can work around those captchas and your 'secret' methods which are no secret for 10 years by now btw. Proof will be servers 57 and 60. Nothing will change there as it's very easy to work around those things.

    So i don't care about bots at all, i do care about evony trying to get in your pc and take data from it. So while you're trying to fight bots, and it's done in different way then what you do now. Wheel was invented already. You should also minimize aces to private data on pc with your game

    I've being playing well over 2 1/2 years... No way to defend a city if you get a required popup.

    Sorry, this wont work.
    I don't understand why everyone is making it out to seem like it will ALWAYS happen when you are attacking/defending/timing etc... The majority of the time it will just be in the middle of sending out a few farms/training a few troops...

    1. Captcha makes it more or less equal for all. Everyone needs to do this, not just a few players.
    2. Botters WILL be stopped or reduced drastically.
    3. Server performance has already increased (likely because players have stopped using the bots over the last few days)
    4. I hope Captcha gets rolled out to every single server. Make it fair for all. No reason only some servers should have Captcha.

    Thanks to Boleslav for the Afro Samurai Signature series.
    I have made a few video guides that may help you.

    So if so many people are botting, why not add some automation to the system? If this is what you customers want... then give it to them.

    Honestly, I don't get much kick out of farming 200 lvl10's a day. Would be nice to have an interface to plan this...

    I don't think this solution is going to improve the game for anyone.

    LMAO I would imagine the entire alliances of DeathINC and DeathII would fail on SS54.

    About time Evony did something about the cheaters. An to those that say they quit over this, good riddance. Your not the only one that spends money.

    We advertise this all over the place ;-) It is a sticky in the feedback/suggestions forums, and the CS staff sends people over there all day long.

    Dave M and I spend time over there and talk in a more casual/ frank way with the players. It is official just serves a different purpose then the forums.

    This link is a little better, while similar but has more info.

    Well, if this pops up while defending against multiple waves or even worse timing different waves, scouting and adjusting while doing so and this "captcha" pops up, throwing off everything, do you not think this will make people furious. Evony created an envionment that makes a need to bot. And for those that claim they don't bot,,they break the rules by having multiple accounts or alts. So in short most players break one rule or the other,, so non botters have many alts to maintain resources, so lets not get the holier than thou on her responding to this. But please don't frustrate us when actually playing/attacking/defending by having these pop up in the middle of the fray or you will have people just throwing up their hands and quitting..
