To change your account email address, you need to enter the answer to both security questions.
Fair enough.

Problem is you can change one security question by knowing the answer to the other question.
So, basically, that means that having two security questions actually weakens account security.

EDIT: I also really wish Nexon would suck it up and make Item Locks free.
I'm fairly sure that the lost revenue from those items would be surpassed by people buying NX because they feel secure enough to do so.

What's more, they should change the system.
While I like some suggestions I read, it'd also be rather nice if an item being locked would allow it to be account-tradeable.
I don't mind certain items being unsellable for up to a year, but I do mind being limited to one character when things like Evo Rings can't be moved.

Viaje Wrote:Word of advice:
Before you try to mock someone, you may want to make sure the words that your write are accurate.

First of all, as Locked said, you can no longer scroll locked items. It is quite impossible to destroy a locked item without destroying the character entirely.

Now, if you'd at all payed attention to this thread, you'd be very much aware that the hackers in this instance don't give a pomegranate about destroying people's accounts. If they did, it'd be as easy as deleting characters.
As it stands, however, any untradeable items are left completely untouched.
The hackers are only interested in personal profit.


It has been mentioned as well as ruled out. Several times.

Seriously, read a thread before trying to contribute.

"IGN: Aphienai"
Oh, well look at that!
That pretty much explains everything.


Not "whatever". You were corrected.

ViaTheStars Wrote:I don't understand how my IGN means absolutely anything to you or to anyone else since I rarely talk to anyone enough to give a pomegranate. Explains everything? What might that explain? Mock? I'm simply trying to regurgitate information that I know/knew. I don't go around wasting my time locking my crap to care wether it can destroy items or not. Please try harder.

I heard this happen to three different people so far.
