When I've tried to make a new account on another server, sometimes i've gotten captcha popped up and it to is ALWAYS wrong, Im double checking, triple checking what i typ, the letters and #'s arent that hard to read and it still says WRONG everytime. Wonders if the captcha will even work this way too.

I am not convienced. for me it has always been the lack of farming that limits my ability to attack. so in 10 min a botter can have 100 farmers out
A few questions here...
1. Why do you need to be logged in all day if you are not playing? That makes little sense, you are not able to play so what difference does it make? You will not be logged off though if the captcha is not answered, you are just not able to enter any game commands untill it is. As for a bot stopping when it see the captcha... fine it is a step in the right direction and we have addressed this in an earlier post.. long story short doing it this way reduces the benefit from using bots, and we will still be doing normal bot sweeps to ID players doing this. I am pretty sure finding accounts that are playing then stop as soon as the captcha comes up ands till stay online on a repeated basis will be easy to spot in the system...
2.As you work in the game industry you should know there is 1 unbreakable captcha out there. We can easily plug this captcha in as our system is modular and we can swap at any downtime. We chose not to use this one off of the bat as it is not the easiest to use.
3.We do not store any private data... All billing data is stored by paypal or moneybookers not us. All we store is your email/password and/or facebook ID. I am not sure why you think we are in your PC stealing your data, and I really do not want to get into any tinfoil hats arguments on this, you can create a new thread if you want.

I personly hate these things on websites because it always takes me 3-6 times to get it right because im dislexic and always mix up letters. this isnt fair for all ppl evony and i just proved why... if im under attack and i get one poped up or even if im farming in a rush or something to get to school or to go to bed... its going to take me 15m+ to get threw this pop-up because i have a mentle disability.... so i really dont see how this is gonna help other then make me quit (and i am a spender btw..)
So basically whoever the person in blue is at the moment in this thread, (I haven't read your name I just saw the blue and the responses so forgive me) is ignoring the biggest questions we have right now.
1. How is this going to affect people trying to camp attacks or what not.
2. Defense is going to be brutal
3. The List goes on and on. It would be nice for the person in blue (whoever you are, I apologize for not reading the name) would instead of skipping over every single post with that question would give us all an answer as to what your plans are to prevent that?
They wont lol that's the whole point.
I'm all for captcha or you name it to stop boting, but it's not working. Proven by time. Captcha is only good against automated process, not human actions.
Evony guys just can't fight it lol. What they try to implement is not working.
Go to any server, 70% of top 100 are boting. What evony solved? Nothing.
What capthca will solve? 5 hrs of extra programming how to avoid it lol.
Best way to fight it is to implement farming program in game. Everything else are jokes that will never work lol.
I'm glad with the whole Captcha system.....but of course it's just a test run for those particular servers and will need some tweaking if it is to be implemented on all the other servers.....I really hope this solves the botting problem and I would love to see these so called monster armies appear after the Captcha is in full motion.....I would love for these player to farm by hand all them multiple acct's they all have.
