So, if you guys don't keep up with the forums, then you might not know about this, but Nexon has released an automated system to catch bots/spammers. Now, this password change system is very closely tied to this system that hands out IP bans like candy. If you have several alts, please PLEASE don't change all the passwords at once. You will get an IP ban and you will be forced to submit an un-ban request on all of those accounts. Also, this goes for multiple people playing on the same IP (like me. D:) Honestly, I don't know how people like that are going to work around it, but I'd suggest filing a ticket expressing your concern. 'Cause really, who wants to get banned because their mom/dad/brother/sister/boyfriend/girlfriend/WHATEVER plays Mabinogi on the same IP? Not me.

As an aside, there's also been some problems with the Nexon cash cards you can purchase in stores. Some people have been getting bans for 'Fraudulent transactions' from the cards they've legitimately bought. Just some things to keep your eyes out for. Good luck, kids. It's a madhouse out there.

Wow, that's insane. Is this Nexon or their automatic stuff? Forgive me for asking if it was explained, I'm so tired right now I'm out of it and randomly decided to check on the forums. [Yes, I lurk, but this interested me and made me curious.]

That's completely ridiculous, really, and annoying. My browser is going haywire cause I saved my password to make using the premium shops easier to use. Now I've had to change my password and it's affecting how things work. I play a few other Nexon games too and because the shops and everything are split up in the way they are the other games are giving me trouble over passwords and it's frustrating to no end.

One good thing about it, though, is that there's nothing against switching between two passwords, at least that's known. It only rejects you if you use the same password. I found that handy when a friend pointed it out to me, hopefully someone else might like the information too.

And I agree with ComplicatioN. Nexon is fail. I've pointed this out by making a guild with that name, kinda.

Thanks for the info Frelyn


I didn't feel like using another password (and neither did my brothers, all three of us changed our passes in the same hour, in the same house. nothing was banned, so I don't know how many are in multiple accounts to be banned)

I just followed suit and changed it as they demanded, then went to "My Account" answered the security question and changed it back (I think this may be what kirachan was trying to say)

I've been reading cases of 4 accounts being able to set off the system. I myself got IP banned by this "New System" and I'm still waiting for Nexon to review my appeal(It's been 5 days now). I wonder if the recent maintenance was in regards to this flawed "Bot defense".

More information here... but it doesn't really help anyone if they can't even access the ticket system or the forum.

-sigh- I wonder if I can get my services refunded or at least extended for /their/ blunder.

To answer Kira, Nexon implemented this automatic system. There are no real people dishing out the bans, but it's still Nexon behind it. Good job, Nexon. C:

Sounds like all hell broke loose while I was gone :P
I didn't realize you needed to change your pass once a month so when I logged into mabi I thought someone hacked my ACC at first. That was in March.
Yesterday I tried logging onto the nexon site and realized that. Epic win/fail Nexon
