We have implemented this in a way to minimize the effect on legit players, and maximize the effect on cheaters. Please read this response carefully before reporting back an issue to the CS Team.
1.During your gameplay experience you will have a captcha screen come up at a random point during your session generally less then 1 time every 2 hours. (see #6 below)
2.You must answer the captcha within 5 tries, if you do not that is considered one incorrect answer.
3.If you do not answer correctly you will be disconnected after 4 incorrect answers and will be required to answer captcha on next login
4.If you close the window that is considered an incorrect answer and will be required to enter the captcha on your next login.
5.If you send game commands while the window is open you will be disconnected immediately. (note you cannot do this while using the official Evony Client, and we will be tracking this data to suspend botters.)
6. Repeated failure of answering the questions will decrease the time between being asked for the captcha. Where as correct answers will increase the time between being asked.
This is currently implemented on one server, we are looking to see the response on this to roll out to either all servers or all new servers.
If you have any behavior that is not explained by these rules, please report back to us via helpspot/cs system. Please be aware that we will be looking very closely at the data on accounts that report back to us with problems in regards to the captcha, if we find bot use the accounts will be suspended and or terminated. The Use of bots is very easy to identify when we manual review the logs. "
I bet they wait to release 50 until this test is resolved, or 50 will be released with this same thing happening.....will be interesting to see how this turns out.
The post on the forums you have pasted is from February of 2012. LOL I've seen the link to this posted a dozen places with panic in the last couple days. It's OLD news! Put the date on that stuff so you don't freak people out! ROFL
