    Default About b o t s

    Evony, please let us know what actions are you taking against the bots, at this point they have overrun all the servers and there is no point in keep playing. On WN1 no one has been banned in over 1 year, but now bots have taken control overthere as well, there are much more lv5npc than lv10npc ... and on a 25 MONTHS OLD sever, the FIRST SERVER ever to be merged ... that is a clear indication that botting has become rampant. If you do not know who the botters are, just ask and we will tell you.

    They made a captcha and then did a happy dance. And anyone who complains about getting them 3 times in 30 minutes is considered a bot and will be ignored.

Also, when an acct is banned, they go on holiday. IMO that is very wrong, it cloggs the server, the holiday should be temporary, let say 1 month, then the acct should be removed all together.
    What do you consider strong evidence?

    Just farm em and take em out like any other acct just takes a bit of extra patience and effort but they die just like anyone else. And at least they generally have good res to steal. And the ones fed by them have armies worth fighting.
