The problem with lag is not botting or too many accounts. Every time evony opens a new server things fall apart on ALL the other servers as far as lag goes. Bad lag has also been problem long before mass botting. Do you remember when slow and fast march were "fixed" by Evony. That is when botting became the norm and really exploded. Every time evony fixes something the reaction is to compensate.
Back to my point... I think the lag has something to do with too many servers. No merges have happened in about a year. There has only been one three time merge and I hear that was a disaster. Evony keeps starting new servers on a regular basis and every time without exception the gets exponentially worse.
So merge the older servers maybe 3 at a time, make each state the size of the current evony map, disallow any new accounts from being made, nuke any account below prinzessin unable to ever return. OP also has a point, take resources out of the game and there is no need to bot.
All this talk of holiday penalties and limiting this or restricting is the same type of thinking that has brought us to where we are now. Evony's reactions to the natural evolution of the game has led to the massive bot explosion in bot usage. Resource glitches, fast and slow march, free hero transfer, I am sure there are more I just don't remember all of them were programmed into the game by evony coders purposefully and for the benefit of themselves and the friends.
The biggest problem I see now with this new hardcore banning system or whatever you call it, is that I am sure everyone here has taken a screenshot of evony admitting they looked the other way in regards to botting and multiaccounting. Stating in game there are no cheats and if anyone cheats accounts will be closed. Its not really fair you give a wink and nod to cheat then 3 years later say your gonna enforce your TOS.
So merge the older servers on a waaaaay bigger map and prevent new accounts and erase any account that is not a prinzessin and any account with 0 population. New servers get 0 tolerance enforcement. But all this talk of limiting or minimizing or penalty or ip ban... this is all the same type of thinking that made cheating the norm... doing the same stuff over and over again expecting a different result is just plain insanity.... I think I will write that one down.
