Captcha Codes

January 9th, 2010   (12723 views )

As anyone that has been around since the beginning knows, I hate captchas. I find them annoying and tedious. So anyone that is planning on complaining... I hear you and agree.

Having said that, we now have a captcha system in place because unfortunately, it is the best anti-bot mechanism out there.

There is one captcha system associated with the login page, and second one where every player will be required to do a captcha once per hour to take actions in the game.

I have also added a feature that allows you to update your captcha code at any time by filling out a captcha form. You can do this by clicking the link inside the progress bar on the side of the screen.

I've also got some ideas on the changes we'll be doing for next age, but I'll have to post them another day. So much to do, so little time.

curious about one thing here. Many people are telling me these won't help either, because bot users can easily get around them. Do you know if that is the case?

Funny.

No. They are fairly effective, albeit a pain for people.

I use my iPhone mostly all the time. So either time goes by or my wifi signal changes and I have to reup my sign-in. How can I fix this constant sign-in thing. You have a little box to click that says remember me but it really doesn't seem to work. Suggestions, anything...

This is a very good feature and i'm glad you added it sus, I can't say I enjoy using it as much as the next guy, but it does enforce the rules a little more and make the game enjoyable for those who like to play through it fairly.

:3 Some of the capatchas make me laugh because of what some of them say. I don't mind the capatchas actually. I think it's pretty smart anyway.
