Oh now THAT'S interesting, at least from a security perspective. - MuscleWizard - 2011-10-27

Just tried to register a second nexon account on my mule accounts email address, it asked me to enter my email, I did, and then it gave me this message.

And I checked my email account.

Now that's neat.
They give an all clear on the registration end, but then give a warning to the actual email account.
Kinda interesting of them to have that little bit of misdirection.

I actually ran into that when testing out the workings of the website.
Was trying to see if there was any way for someone to verify whether or not a particular email address was registered and, at least on the surface, there isn't.

It's actually a better system than plenty of sites have, and I've got to give Nexon credit for that.

Oh wow, this is actually incredibly smart from a security perspective, surprised to see it coming from Nexon.
