IMPORTANT Reminder: Dragon Nest Browser Launch Ending Oct. 20

http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/news/00Ikf/

Effective October 20 at approximately 10:30 AM Pacific (1:30 PM Eastern), the ability to start Dragon Nest directly from your web browser will no longer be available, and you will need to launch the game through Nexon Launcher. You can also use Steam to launch Dragon Nest.

Currently, you can launch Dragon Nest on the official Dragon Nest website by logging into your Nexon account and clicking the “PLAY” button. With this change, the “PLAY” button launch function will be removed and you will instead be directed to launch the game from the Nexon Launcher.

The Nexon Launcher is our new streamlined approach for installing, updating and playing all of your favorite Nexon games, including Dragon Nest. With this change, we will be eliminating many of the technical issues that arose from launching the game via a web browser, ultimately providing for a smoother gaming experience for our players.


While the Dragon Nest website will still feature a “PLAY” button, it will now open a new pop-up box providing you with two options. The first option is for new players who have not yet downloaded or installed the launcher. The second option is for players who already have the launcher. Clicking this will start up the Nexon Launcher, from which you can start the Dragon Nest game client.

What are the benefits of the Nexon Launcher?



The Nexon Launcher is a unified central location for accessing all of Nexon’s games. It automatically keeps your game client up-to-date by updating in the background, even if you’re playing Dragon Nest or another Nexon game. Some web browsers have issues launching Dragon Nest (for example, the current version of Google Chrome). Using the Nexon Launcher bypasses these issues.
