So I guess we're all sitting ducks waiting to get hacked. Time to afk in the cash shop 24/7.

[quote=d3athkn1t3]This method of protecting your account was patched ages ago.[/quote]

I just locked my account yesterday and it worked fine. I think you are referring to a different one.

@dwagonslay: The thing is, they will read it when they get the chance. The contents of the ticket don't really matter to when they see and read it. The reply, I don't care for really. Just trying to get the message across.

[quote=Jimmy985]So I locked my account around 4 weeks ago and haven't logged on since (quit maple.) However, one day I might come back. I also like to come on every now and then, does this mean I should just leave my account as it is until I feel like frequently playing again, or is it already unlocked?[/quote]

As far as I tried, locked accounts are still locked. I advise you just keep it locked til you decide to come back.

I wonder if they patched HotSpot Shield or just all the methods, if they did all then I won't be able to lock them either. :s

Going to test it now will post shortly if it works or not and if it does just release it.

Edit : Nexon unbanned all IP's meaning the method is "patched" not only for hotspot shield but for any blocked IP.

@Skyenets: Damn, that last phrase you added, "even though I'd be deluding myself with the concept of "quick service" at Nexon." is like throwing your ticket-reply-chance-within-three-years straight out the window!

[quote=Skyenets]Unlucky, I can still log on and receive my activation email. But this really sucks, I finally decided to use this method and I actually felt safe for a change. Yet here they are taking it away.

I just went for a ticket hoping that they someday feel like answering it. If you want, you can copy the ticket and send it in as well.[/quote]

That's harsh!
I love it @^@

[quote=SeeminglyExists]I had 2 accounts locked, and now It always says invalid user or pass -.-[/quote]

[quote=ticket]Dear Nexon employee,

With the latest patch for the anniversary, a certain method to lock accounts has been nullified. The method is described here: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2365369/6#comments_list

It basically de-activated your account till the user activates it through their e-mail again.

I was personally using this method because I do not feel like my account is safe with the security measures Nexon has taken to prevent people to get hacked.

I kindly request that the decision is taken back so that we as players, can once again take safety measures into our own hands, as you are obviously incapable of this as company.

For the time being I have decided to leave my account deactivated and will refrain from playing any Nexon games, to ensure safety till Nexon fixes this issue.

I wish you a wonderful day and look forward to a quick response, even though I'd be deluding myself with the concept of "quick service" at Nexon.

Sincerely,
Name[/quote]

Since I came back from ms it has been hard to rebuild so I am thinking of getting a job and using most of the money I make into nx so I can refund my MM again. That is nexons plan and it's working

[quote=leafsasuke]Ehh yes... Sadly -_- whats wrong with locking our accounts anyways. Anyways another method that works (so I've heard ) was that you can enter in symbols and it'll prevent you from logging in.

That method was patched before the Hotspot Shield method back in 2011. GG nexon.
