[Game Update] V.82

i still think they shoulda kept the pin too. made 3 layers of security.

What does adding another layer of security do? Unless they store the PIC in a different location, accounts are no safer than they were before, assuming a data base hack which seems like the only logical option left (Too many people for it to be friends hacking them, pretty much nobody finds a keylogger on their computer, well protected accounts, etc.) Unless hackings go down dramatically, all this system is is a pain in the ass.

They probably did store it in a different location, then.

I'm pretty sure that next week we will se the magic of patch 0.83
Neoxn didnt change anything in the data and they just did the PIC... :|

Its a step towards the web page method I think since it sounds they'll remove the log-in screen altogether.

Directed reference here:

Q: My desktop MapleStory icon now takes me directly to the MapleStory website. How do I start MapleStory now?

A: Simple. Once you’ve arrived at the official MapleStory website, you will see a large button that says “Start Game.” Clicking on that and using your ID and password to log in will launch the game. For more detailed information, you can follow these

Unless they' make it to where you have to log in twice. Once on the page and once in-game. That would be quite redundant.

Also, without the log in screen(maybe) how would one be able to use the pin initially for all the if they haven't logged on to create a pic yet under the new web page method?

Too much speculating bleh

Just realized you can reset your PIC as simple as resetting your PIN.
