    what about you tell us how many people play our server and if we give you a signed petition with over 90% of them telling you to shove this idea it stops?

    If a college dorm is affected by this, then someone who is actually affected can contact me with the name of their school and their IP address. We'll verify that this IP address belongs to a college and make an exception for that IP address. However, we will also run bot and multi-account sweeps on these IP addresses and permanently ban any accounts which are violating these rules by making feeder accounts or any type of bot activity.
    Dawnseeker answer me this then....a family of four for instance play evony...what are they to do ... I know it exists I have 5 on facebook... Also why has the lag not changed if your bothered by the multi accounting... adjust it to say 30 and see what happens...but to start with 2 is a mere excuse especially since lag exists.Feel free to im me and we can discuss some options .

    Petition is a good idea ... hate to say it I rather slight lag (no hero sticking) than lose friends that cannot login due to this IP limit idea. Cause honesty Dawnseeker this idea is horrible and will kill ss77 and most likely any other server it is implemented in. Your choice to either believe us now when we say that and work with us. Or you can findout what I am saying is true give it time and you will have empty servers because IP limit made most the players quit.

    They can all play, but they can't play at the same time. We might raise the limit a small amount, but I can't think of any realistic situation where 10 people would be playing from the same house/apartment at the same time. Most of the complaints I have seen sound like people are just trying to find ways to multi-bot.

    Server's been unplayable since merge due to lag no IP limit. I mean evony can give us free food back till we figure a solution to this IP problem ? Isn't it unfair legitimate players can't login and there troops refuge due to IP limit stuff ?

    By far the most common complaints we get are related to latency and lag. We also get a ton related to people multi-accounting and botting. Well, we have decided to fix both of these problems with mighty swing of our awesome ban hammer. The lag may take a few days to subside as we're doing some database cleanup related to this, but the multi-botting is the primary cause of the lag.

    Your friends can log in. Anyone can log in. We can see the server logs. There are not zounds of people legitimately trying to log in from the same location and being prevented. If that is happening (for example, a college dorm) then we can examine it on a case-by-case basis. But realistically, that's not what this outcry is about.

    If you have friends that are upset because they can't multi-bot anymore, then they are welcome to find another game that allows massive multi-accounting and botting. We are not prepared to accept that anymore. If you don't like it, I understand. I sympathize that people have been getting away with botting for a long time and now they can't. But that doesn't change the fact that our rules were being flagrantly disregarded and it was hurting all players.

    The game environment was better before multi-botting came around. It was more fun for everyone, and everyone was on an even playing field. A few bad apples spoiled things, but we're now getting rid of the bad apples. People who want to play legitimately are welcome to stay. We're doing this for them. Bad apples can take a walk.

    this server is about to have a mass reset of all the top alliances and coiners if this 3 connections isnt lifted.
    If we increased the amount of food from NPCs, then cheaters would just make more troops with all the extra food. It wouldn't reduce multi-botting. Heck, it might even increase it.

    Don't claim to speak for the entire server. If you want to reset your account because we are now prohibiting this form of cheating, be my guest. Someone who wants to play by the rules will be happy to take your place.
