Hey HP!

Just a quick update about bots. We've been getting quite a few of them signing up for the game, and also a couple getting through to the forums and posting spam every week. Which the mods have been super quick about taking care of (thanks guys!).

Soo, to keep them OUT of the forums and from clogging up the servers with fake accounts, I have done two things:

1. The quiz when you sign up now has 3 questions instead of 2, but they're still just random questions/answers designed to trip up any bots who do manage to sign up.

2. I installed a reCAPTCHA on the registration page. This is one of the captcha's where you just check a box to say that you're not a bot, and doesn't have any words for you to type or anything, and it seems to be working perfectly! However, if you have any issues with it, please let me know ASAP!

Happy Wednesday!

EDIT: And if you notice any "invalid accounts" when you click their links in the "game updates" under the mini news, those were just from me making tester accounts and then deleting them! :).

It's sort of early to say for sure, but this seems to have taken care of the issue! No bots signed up yesterday or today!

Whoot whoot! Way to go. I am super glad that issue is fixed.
