The Captcha menu appears when afk activity from a skill is detected. You have 5 attempts within 5 minutes to answer the Captcha or the skill will be blocked from use for the next 4 hours.

Description

The Captcha system was introduced around March 2022 in order to deter illegal Unattended Macroing activity that has been defined in the Terms of Use(Rules). If actions that are being performed by a player meet the systems auto-detecting features, a "Captcha" menu will appear and the player will have 5 attempts within 5 minutes to answer the request. If you fail to provide an answer, the skill that triggered the "Captcha" will no longer be allowed to be used by this player for the next 4 hours. This will be indicated by a debuff incon that will appear on the debuff bar with the time remaining, along with message stating that you have failed and will be punished.

Notes

  • Patch Notes 8.1.2.0
  • Reduced the amount of random font colors allowed by the captcha script. Only the most visible colors should be drawn now.
  • Added forgiveness. Occasionally you will be able to be forgiven by an accidently missing a captcha. Forgiveness is not granted very often, you should do your best to never use it, it is meant to help with emergency situations.
