Greetings!
As you may have noticed, we've implemented a "Captcha" system that works to remove bots from the server. Most players will only see a Captcha once or twice per day, and it will ask them to enter a few letters on their keyboard to make sure they are a real person (and not a pesky bot).
We are testing this on server ss57 and ss60 as a precursor to rolling it out on more servers. We have implemented this in a way to minimize the effect on legitimate players, and maximize the effect on cheaters. Here's wow it works:
- During your gameplay experience you will have a Captcha screen pop up at random while you're playing.
- You have 5 tries to answer the Captcha, if you don't get it, that is considered one incorrect answer.
- If you get 4 incorrect answers or you close the Captcha window, you'll need to answer Captcha correctly to continue playing.
- If you solve a Captcha, it will be longer before you are asked again. If you get it wrong, you'll get another one sooner.
- Most players will only see a Captcha once every few hours.
Our goal is for the Captcha system to help clear the server of bots, give real players the advantage, and reduce problems with latency. We've already seen the Captcha system improving performance on the test servers. Captchas are part of our commitment to keeping Evony fun and fair for everyone!
Thanks for playing and we'll see you on the battlefield!
Best regards,
The Evony Team
