If your evony server cannot perform the job it was designed to do - allow our evony accounts to run without ongoing serious issues - upgrade your hardware. You know and we know that this is a bs fix to the real problem that would cost you money to fix. You make money off of us every day...I think you can afford an upgrade by now, but rather you continue to frustrate your customers to the point where you now have thousands of people on the verge of quitting. That's ok though, it's your loss in the end, we all know what you're in it for.
    This has been covered in the previous threads, botting accounts can generate more commands then 30 normal accounts. If a servers max load is 5,000 accounts at a time then it can only hold about 167 bots at the same load. Assuming this even 100 bots on the server can more then double the server needs. The larger problem is adding more servers does not always make things faster. After you hit a certain point you start to get diminishing returns per added server due to internal latencies as the different servers talk to the databases. If we allowed bots it would be almost impossible to create a latency free gaming experience.

    So, you now admit that adding more servers makes things slower

    SO WHY ARE YOU OPENING MORE SERVERS!!!?!????

    On a thread where people are showing their frustration with the level of lag making your game unplayable, you've admitted that Evony's current actions are making things worse.

    Is this the definition of Irony?

    What would have clarified his point a little better would have been stating the use of multiple servers per game, currently each game exists on a single server group, which consists of a group of servers which are collectively also referred to as a server (ss65, s156, na1, etc.) - adding more servers per game world would introduce latency due to crosstalk between servers shared within the same gameworld.

    Adding more game worlds does not make anything slower as each is a discrete game, adding more servers per gameworld with our current architecture would.

    Wow simply wow... I highly recommend reading some books on simple logic.

    By far the most common cheating program out there is free. And to be honest most of the ones that you pay for are just copies of the free one. These purchased ones also tend to send your account information back to the bot maker, which allows them to steal your account...

    Think this through... If we owned the bots why would we remove them or ban people for using them? Why wouldn't we be open and sell them officially if we did this? A lot more people would buy bots then...

    I approve of the concept of captcha but as yet am unable to play because I can't get it right. Any suggestions? Do spaces matter? Upper case?

    Really you are banning people who use bots? Last time I saw someone being banned was 2 years ago when I was on s100. Not seen a single ban since then. And I know people been reported and yet, nothing has been done.


    And for real, if adding more servers is slowing things down why why why would you add them and not focus on fixing the issues? If you are adding them so we can get kicked off servers and watch the clock spin all the time,... well I have a watch I like it better, its prettier and it actually shows correct time.

    I believe this was explained above by commenters named Thantium and davemata.

    Funny I approved the suspension and or termination of close to 1,000 accounts yesterday. Also if we are not terminating or suspending accounts on a regular basis I have no idea why I get such nasty emails from players after we have closed their accounts. It must be a shared delusion or something.

    As for the server thing, perhaps I should clarify. When I say add a server, I mean an actual server. For example ss56 is a cluster of servers. Say each server can handle 2000 users. So when we get 4 servers we can handle 8000 users, but the 5th only adds like 1500, the 6th 1000 etc.

    New game worlds are on their own cluster and adding new game worlds does not affect the speeds on other servers.
