Another Ip Thread

So there's all this IP ban business going around, and I was wondering how it worked exactly. I've heard about anywhere from 10 to 30 logins per hour, or however many per 5 minutes.
Does it actually reset by the hour?
Don't wanna risk anything by logging in around and about several accounts.

No, the accounts should be fine if you change IPs after you get IP banned, though you might have to reactivate them.

I'd say around 5-10 minutes. Your ISP should give you a new IP. You'd have to check in CMD with ipconfig though.

Unplug your router or get a VPN.

[quote=CaptCandy]I've been IP banned 6 times, and from my experience,
it resets no more than 4 hours, and you have to log on at least 30 before getting IP-banned.

Also, you may get ip banned for logging on more than 9 accounts in 5 minutes[/quote]

[quote=xdawnedx]IP bans are nothing. Once you change your IP, you get all your accounts back lol.

As for how it works, if you accept the hot time on too many accounts in too short a time, you get ip banned. 2-3 per hour is usually safe. You can log into as many accounts as you want and NOT accept the hot time, and not be banned. You're allowed to have as many, and log into as many as you want. But you can not log into many and abuse events. This includes Treasure island, Hot times, things like that.[/quote]

this is so wrong
let an experienced person whos been ip banned 3 times but never been ip banned again do all the talking

i'm not sure of the exact limit, but I would say its around 30 per hour
the SAFEST way is to log onto around 15-20 accounts, accept the hottimes, wait about 90 minutes before you log onto another 15-20

Okay, here's a legitimate answer.
No, there's not a limit to how many hot times you can receive per hour/not receive this hot time =/= as a login. That's BS.
What is true is that there's around 15-20 accounts you can log in per hour-3 hours. Meaning if you go over this, you'll get IP banned.
This exact number may be over 20, who knows besides Nexon.

Also, if you don't log into an account for the first week after you make it and redeem one item, I hear you get perma'ed. So you can't just leave the account sitting for a month without touching it after the hot time.

Another thing, though. does the IP login count reset by the hour or something?

[quote=SaltyBlocks]I just got IP banned after logging on exactly 27 accounts.

At least I think it's an IP ban anyways. Whenever I try to log in I get the "having trouble logging in?" error you usually just close and retry to log in but I'm getting this message over and over. I can't even log in through the website either because it tells me to download and install the game despite clearly having it on my PC...[/quote]

exact same problem im having lol at least im not the only one

And so the accounts that you accessed were alright?

I'd have expected that nexon could detect a third party program like an ip blocker.
