I need to verify my registered email address in order to change it, but since it doesn't exist, you'll never get the verification email to begin with
Having this password change prompt come up, in combo with a non-existent email, has literally made my account unhackable / unplayable.

no, his e-mail provider doesn't exist anymore, meaning you can't create an email like his ever again.

Adding a security question removes the need of email verification. Since my email required a text message to log in, I feel safer with email confirmation than with their retarded secret answer system.

I was able to change it without a confirmation on my mule account that had no secret questions, I did it when there was the login glitch and had to switch emails to login, so no idea about now

gmail, if you've set it up correctly, but you're probably misunderstanding what he meant.

People are still getting hacked even after they changed their passwords. Has anyone ever heard of someone requesting a User ID change?
Edit: A friend of mines got hacked a while back and he said he asked Nexon to change his User ID and they did. I'm asking him now how long it took them to change it.

Bingo. Nexon essentially protected / "Locked down" my account, themselves, by accident LOL

I might do the change once my email gets changed so I can update everything.

I logged a ticket the other day, and I plan on filling out that form that Eos found. Hopefully that will do something about getting my account back.
