    Stress? ok, i call BS. I played on 149, where EVERY ACCOUNT IS A B0T ACCOUNT. NO LAG THERE. This is a case of YOU, The provider of this game, NOT PROPERLY SUPPORTING YOUR GAME. And it certainly isnt due to lack of financial support. Also, I hear over and over that CAPTCHA solves NOTHING. I think what it comes down to, if you see that a particular server isnt going to be supported by 25% of the top spenders that play this game, you add captcha to slowly kill the server off. That way, you have to provide less and less support and fewer excuses as to why you dont properly maintain your game.
    O.o

    It does NOT stop botting, as there are now bots that are equipped to solve captchas and yes, many are using them and paying the fee to do so. It will not stop the lag, as evidenced by other servers where captcha was installed (my personal experience being ss61). The lag was worse there after captcha was installed so I left the server and a very good account there.

    What captcha WILL do is interrupt parts of the game where there can be NO interruptions: timing attack waves, working the gates if your defending an attacker who has doorstepped you 1 mile away and you need to open and close gates just right on certain waves, interrupting farming, interrupting if you are capping a NPC10 (we all know if there is too much of a gap in the waves to one it will regenerate and kill subsequent waves), not to mention the annoyance it causes when it pops up anywhere from every 2 to 3 minutes, or 30 mins, or hour. It is random. If I log on after this current maintenance and indeed see captcha on the server, I am leaving the server right then.

    So many other servers have many many more accounts and botters than this server, and they run just fine.

    Perhaps by installing captcha, half of s160 will quit, therefore reducing the lag since the player rate is reduced by 50%. Then it will be quiet, boring, and lag free for the remaining few. A war game with no one to kill, gotta be tons of fun right?

    I agree if its there i will do a charge back, its not the game i payed for after that !

    First DaveMata -a Product Manager for Evony has the gall to tell me that there is no lag and it's my internet connection/service. Then this. Just proves that the several thousands of dollars I have unfortunately spent on this game were all for naught in building 'great accounts' - it was all a dream world, save the real money. The fact is that the response shows how inept and unprofessional product management of Evony is - look at the track record and what is happening elsewhere: no problems on much larger and more heavily played servers. They went on the cheap and are again because it's about MONEY, captcha allows them to spend less money to fix, because it will reduce play. No way around it - even Dawnseekers post indicated it "we are putting on Captcha to reduce strain on server due to bots and multi-accounts". So what if there were live players on - they dont know who is live and who is machined. So get serious here - which way is it. We know, its about THE MONEY.
    Of course it is about the money. They are a Corporate Entity. They exist to make money. All games exist to make money. The fact that they can bring enjoyment to millions of people at the same time is just as important to some companies. It is not just as Important to Evony. They are here to make money , and they make no bones about it.

    Servers are not that expensive.3 major Coiners on each server pay for the actual server. Another 3 Coiners pay for the bandwidth. Less than one major coiner per server is needed to pay for customer service obviously. Next time you log in, take a look at how many packages you have in your Chests area. Times it by $30, then times that by the top 30 alliances. See what number you come up at.

    Everything else is Pure Profit for them. They just have not realized that 90% of their money comes from the same 3-5,000 coiners spread out through out all the servers. And it is us Coiners they need to pacify!
    You can curse me and attack me, But at the end of the day I will stand Victorious over my Enemies. Your failure to prepare for Battle , does not make me Dishonorable. Your rants do me more good than harm. Speak my name and more will learn to fear me. I am Payne , I am Suffering, I am the last woman standing in a sea of smoking city's.

    Default Captcha

    Funny thing is the heavy botters will stay and will pay $10 for 400 captcha solves and that is taking away money that the heavy coiners and botters would spend on the game. They are so stupid it's kind of funny. Last post all, peace and chicken grease!

    Now we will have to have Captcha and Lag thing keep getting better and better, ok you all can go waste money on another server they always start w/o captcha wait for coiners to spend money...bam Captcha, notice they never start with it because noone will play server with it. i don't really care about it just the lag but it won't fix it...your a bunch of greedy cheap _____ that won't take the money that people pay and build better servers.

    Well the problem is that evony product managers will tell you "you can just opt out of the captcha if an important task is upon you". What they wont tell you is that the important task may be inbound attacks or outbound scheduling that are now out of synch because you have to click on the ignore button, taking 3 game seconds. This is most likely because most of the product managers couldn't play the game 1/2 as good as some of the players only here 6 months on their 1st server. That's my impression anyway.

    Bottom line - Evony is LYING TO YOU. THEY WANT TO HOLD ON TO THE MONEY THEY'VE COLLECTED BY PROVIDING SUBSTANDARDLY ENGINEERED SERVERS EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROPER LEVEL OF EQUIPMENT AND CAPACITY SHOULD BE. Think that's baloney? how can the superservers operate with ZERO lag?

    Now Mod - do your job, you've been called out

    Oh I hope you were being facetious or sarcastic with that statement. Cause darlin, there will still be just as many botters as there ever was. And I will state again...the botters have nothing to do with the server running as poorly as it has from day one.

    I agree, i dont remember reading anywhere in the TOS where they stated that captcha was going to be on this server (160). There by has evony not violated there own terms? They sucker us in to spend money, dont give a crap about customer service, they take and take and take, and never give back. You can tell that this company is owned by a chinese company. They just dont give a crap about their customer. I say we should all band together, create a website that spreads the word about this company, and how they do business. We need to put the nails in their coffin, so others in the future dont have to suffer at their hands.

    I will be seeking compensation for this and I am not talking about your packages, I will start by getting my money back, when you took my money to play it was under the guise the game would function and not have inhibitive game play and lag.
    Actually if you read their TOS - they have a complete no guarantee either actual or implied policy as part of it. Your presence on the server means you agree to the terms. They are responsible for NOTHING, if you bought coins, and they delivered them, then POOF - you get ZERO refund. Its all there in black and white.

    The question is was the promotion of the game fraudulent and misleading. As stated earlier, they know the engineering needed and chose not to employ it. They dont want to go through legal discovery to prove what I am saying - but even a moron can see that they are full of it as there are MANY other servers with more players accounts active that do not need captcha - and from experience there is a lot more of what was presented as the problem going on there than here. Evony has misled 160 players in that now they are completely changing the nature and feel of the game.

    Now I wanna see some Mod tell me I'm no lawyer and I dont know what I'm talking about. That way I can screen print that too for the file.
