Captcha · Outlands Wiki Bot

Summary

Helps prevent unattended resource gathering
Simple to solve if you're a human
Fail three times and you will be prevented from gathering for a set amount of time

Players harvesting resources through Lumberjacking, Mining, Fishing, Forensic Evaluation, sheering sheep or Lockpicking treasure chests will be prompted with a CAPTCHA once every 5-10 minutes.

The Captcha requires the player to enter the correct numbers
Once the player has correctly entered the numbers, they must click "Okay" twice to confirm their selection
If the CAPTCHA was entered correctly, the player will continue to harvest as normal and will not see another CAPTCHA for another 10-15 minutes

If the player closes the CAPTCHA window, it will cancel their harvest attempt
Attempting to harvest again will bring up the same CAPTCHA prompt (you will get a different "view" though)
Similarly, if a player logs out and logs back in, and then attempts to harvest again, they will be prompted with the same CAPTCHA as encountered before. Ultimately, players will have to pass the CAPTCHA they are given in order to be able to harvest
It helps to know, that the dots are just moved around. If you keep this in mind, more distorted numbers will become easier to identify.

A player is allowed to fail the CAPTCHA twice, however they will be penalized if they fail a third time
When a player fails a CAPTCHA a third time, they will be '''blocked and restricted from any form of harvesting''' for a set duration depending on their number of previous offenses.

After failing a CAPTCHA, a player will be blocked from gathering resources for 6 hours.
