I only got my name because I tried to log a ticket (it tells you your name). I signed up with a fake name too. xD
Anyone, update on my ticket:
What now? 
Nothing you can do. I entered a fake Last name and logged a ticket too. I got the same(almost) response.

But there's something you can do about that. Log in, and go to support. IT says your name somewhere, in the place where you log a ticket.
Is my only option to... brute force? D:

[COLOR="Magenta"][SIZE="2"] I would understand why Nexon would not give you your birthday details though - since with the same information (your birthday), you will be able to delete your own character with it.
And I know very well when my account was hacked in Khaini, the person who was in my account wanted to delete my character which unfortunately he failed to know when/what my birthday was
Brute forcing sounds nice, but I think you'll live with your current IGN... - Not that it's the end of the world right?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Sorry to say but, you probably aren't going to get a name change. The birthdate is one of the key things. >___>

I can't get into my account information with that last name, it could be my secret Q though. Anyway, what do you mean by Brute forcing?

Brute forcing is using a macro (program that does something automatically for you) and having it guess all the possible combinations until it reaches the correct one.
Hopefully, I won't get banned for saying this, but I'm coding a birthday cracker that should get my birthday as we speak. (Eat Perl, Nexon!)

Nexon is a shitty company that uses copypasta from their manuals to answer detailed questions. Usually, they do not properly answer the question being asked. The very idea of using your birthday as a security question is stupid because everyone who knows you in Maple will eventually find out your birthday, (because on your birthday you'll tell them,) and that'll create a security risk for you.
The best thing to do, (with future accounts,) is to properly randomize all information and put it all down in your private e-mail account. Your Maple ID should be words and letters, (Yil789 or something,) the birthday should be your brother or cousin's, the security question should be unguessable, and your password should be "strong," (see my sticky in General Maplestory for how to do that.)

[COLOR="DarkOrange"][SIZE="1"]Well people. I guess th taught you a lesson of never lie about anything.
If you really HAVE to lie to play the game, just put like your real B-Day and the exact amount to be exactly 13. In this case, 1995 xD.
Okay?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Yeah, I'd stay away from writing the truth on that sort of thing. My account's information is near random, and while I can't win some competitions on it, it does make my account more secure.
I registered another account using my real info (it's just used as a mule atm) and that one gets to enter contests (eg art) where things like real name and location would be significant, but character is not. I don't mind winning contests on an ign/id nobody will recognize, and if I win Maple Points I have a history of spending them on gachapon anyway.

I lost my birthday, but I got it back. I'd say how but people would complain about the method I used. :/ Good luck with that cracker.

Lol, I've wanted to delete my character for awhile, but I can't because I entered a fake birthday.
I don't know my security question either. D'oh.

Yeah, I'm sorta stuck in the same rut as you. Can't delete characters, can't CR, and the potential of getting hacked just scares me 'cause I wouldn't be able to recover anything.

[COLOR="Magenta"][SIZE="2"] When it comes to the online games that I'm trying, I usually go for a fake birthday that I would always remember. A good choice would be either a family's birthday or a close friend of yours.
To the thread starter, grats on recovering your birthday!
P/S: 1976... lol  [/SIZE][/COLOR]

1976 sounds like some sort of significant date in history.
..........Shame I don't actually remember why it's significant. lol

>.> PM me program please.
I've been doing the pomegranate manually, and still can't find my damn birthday. It sucks not being able to buy certain things, or delete characters.
*Continues where he left off*
No, seriously. I really need to learn how to program stuff. Because this really sucks. >.>

I am in awe of your programming skills?
...*seriously needs to get some of those*
I did a fake birthday thing on one of my maple accounts and well, I don't use that one anymore (to play on). Good thing the characters on it haven't gone very far. Well, it's another account full of mules that I can use?
