Okay, I'm sorry, just trying to help.
Well too many people refreshing the page/attempting to get on the server can cause a mini-DDoS itself. Would be nice to know how the problem started in the first place though.

I feel Evony made the right decision about banning botters. Bots r destroying the game. People r doing praying every 15 mins and their troops healed automatically.
Next step would be to do someting about the repetetive boring tedious farming, as i feel this what initially caused people to turn to bots. (Or leave the game completely.)
Ive had some friends who r excellent evony players who left the game because of it. So please Evony, do someting about it soon cos I too, am starting to feel like i wont last much longer if this keeps up.. (and im sure there r many others in my shoes currently)
Evony won't do anything about the farming issue. An evony rep (Thalius?) once made a comment that Evony never intended for people to have such huge armies.
I found that statement somewhat incredulous... This is, after all, a war game, and in wars, larger armies give you a much better chance of winning, if by nothing else than the brute-force method.
Since NPC farming is directly tied to troop upkeep, and Evony never intended to have such huge armies, clearly they don't see farming as an "issue" that needs addressed.
Farming issue is the number one reason why they are losing players. Seriously, i see many players leaving after about 6 months into the game because they get sick and tired of the farming (even pay players). Many also are not spending because of it. I feel these same players would have lasted much longer (even years) if this problem had been corrected. Not to mention many also turned to bots.
Its hard to believe they wont be doing anything about this one biggest issue thats plaguing the game? Surely they are doing something about it?
Don't bet on it. Seriously, how many new features have you seen added to the game in the past 8 months. I'm talking features here, not minor mechanics changes, or minor change to honor or attack/defense numbers.
I can think of ONE. That's right, VACATION MODE. That's it. In fact, this one feature addition is really just a way for them to make more money, so I'm not sure it should even count, but it is an addition "feature" of the game, nevertheless.
