Another Nexon Mistake
Dark Link Wrote:And thus it begins...!
Yeah my friend's email that's attached to his main, that he doesn't share with anyone, not even me. He even uses a different one to add his friends on MSN received an email saying his user ID and a message that said he's going to be hacked.
I think Nexon should allow everyone to make a User ID change if that is possible.

i dont think we can, you can't even chose a user id for newly created accounts

What do you mean? :f6:

Their IDs are their emails. The ID release was therefore a bit more unpleasant for them than most other players, who were able to choose their own IDs.

All accounts made post site revamp have no login id.
They login with their email address.
@Above, the emails were scrambled/encrypted I think. The login ids were not.
I could be wrong.

wouldn't that be less harsh for them? since they can change their emails anytime they want lol?

wouldn't that mean they need your account first anyways? In which case aren't you already screwed?

Well, emails are usually linked to personal information. I can't remember why, and am not good with this stuff, but for some reasons it's supposed to be worse.
hypothetically they need to have your email to actually to actually change anything UNLESS they have the answer to both your security questions. I don't know how to turn off security questions though.

I'm curious to how they got your email with just your id
Well at least it's public. It would be worse if we didn't know about this.
goddamnit. I love my buccaneer Sad Why you have to go and reveal his user id? Dx

at least I have back up characters... but those aren't nearly as fun...meh was on my way out of maple anyway >.>
I suggest anyone without security question protection to do it now, or else all they need is your password and then change your email and then volla to reset your pic
Actually wasn't the MTS originally from Japanese Maple?

Disappointed my info is listed -_-. I wonder if they have that giant list from their old leak, oh wait theres a DFO leak too!! bad week for nexon.

Let them get a hold of my non-existent Adelphia email! I'd love to see them actually try, when the domain name doesn't exist.

you don't need a link to your old email. you can change your email without any confirmation. At least that's what I did when the new site came out. without security questions you don't even need any confirmation of pass/birth/etc. Just change lol
