    A less obvious explaination - Could it be that the people in favor of the Capcha are those who have not yet been stung by an untimely capcha popping up. It is still VERY EARLY to make any judgements about the success or failure of the capcha experiment.

    or it could be that those opposed to the capcha just want to keep a low profile for some strange reason (snigger snigger)
    Yes I was thinking the same thing, there are multiple ways to look at that. If people want to make conclusions about what I meant so be it.

    And yes the captcha is an experiment, although the data on ss57/60 looks good so far.

    We have not decided if it will remain, extend to all servers, or just for new servers.

    Yes we are looking at audio, and yes we are looking at a reload button for those captchas that are close to impossible.

    Default Disappearing reports and mail

    Is there a chance that while they are pushing out the captcha, they will fix the disappearing reports and mail problem.
    It's hard to do diplomacy and be a host of an alliance if mail keeps disappearing. I have two mails in my in box, as soon as I open, poof, they disappear.

    Same with reports, you log in first thing in the morning and there are 20 reports, poof, no clue what happened because they are all gone.

    This isn't just happening to me, it is happening to many people.
    So, please push this fix when you push the captcha enhancement.

    Thanks.

    Thantium can I ask in what way the data is looking good? are you meaning that the lag has cleared? are you meaning people are happy with the captcha?

    there ya go badblood it happened again now remember this is a 5 or 6 week old server 154 i understand things are different on old servers but again everyones talkin about fair and equal my prest is 399567 atm hers is 2264780. there is no way i can come close to those troop numbers or defend them at this stage of the game bot or not and once again im not a botter. bots dont speed up timers on builds or troops and in no way help with this kind of thing. coiners keep the game alive very true and again i have nothing against them coining but wheres the fair and equal here some people are just azzholes and make the game no fun for the rest of us. id much rather have a botter than some azzhole on a power trip because they have more money than i do.

    2. The people for it, not that I've seen many on this thread, have so many posts because they spend time in forums instead of farming and thus have no armies. Scrolling back through the thread I just realized that the only person defending this has exactly 20 posts ...

    3. The people with obscene amounts of posts are retired and are just chiming in because they find it amusing to derail threads and at how evony is destroying itself.

    You should really let dave handle the talking ... I dont envy you for having the job that you do but you just dig yourself into a deeper hole with statements like this.
    You know nothing about me or why I chose not to post. I had no interest in posting on the forums before. I have and still quite successful in game. An that is it I treated and still do treat evony as just a game. I just happened to have free time since is on maternity leave for twelve weeks. A friend in alliance chat had passed on the link to the thread. I seen all the bull being written in opposition. Which is quite sad, and what is really sad is judging a persons knowledge by the number of posts.

    It really is lame as how those that are so dead and gloom against it are quick to disparage others. Then whine about being banned.

    omg I now got 21 posts, I can feel the wisdom flood in.

    Sure

    Player population has dropped by the exact amount forecasted based on our estimates of bot use, which is not as large as some people thought.

    Lots of great feedback via CS tickets surprisingly

    Lots of requests asking to have it put on other older servers

    The success rate on answering the captcha by the second try is around 99% I think.

    Latency (lag) has been greatly reduced on both ss57/60


    I will say that so far it looks promising, as for adding it to other existing servers that has not been decided, nor has keeping it in place on these two servers 100% decided. We are still monitoring and planning some tweaks to the system, and we are constantly monitoring and evaluating this system.

    How do you mean player population has dropped?

    Is that players resetting or not logging in?

    And is the DROP in LAG not due to the amount of players NOW in holiday mode??

    how can u say it looks good when theres a very good amount of the players on those servers are in holiday..the lag isnt as bad as these players arnt actively logging in and playing just sitting idle....
