Dear Maplers, We announced on January 28 that MapleStory will be changing the method for starting the game (click here for more info). To prepare for this change, MapleStory will have an update this week that will make a change to the login procedure for the game. When you log into MapleStory for the first time after 2/10/2010, you will be prompted to create a PIC (Personal Identification Code) on the Character Select screen. After you have a PIC you will no longer need to enter your old PIN at login. A few notes on PICs: 1. PICs can be 6 to 16 characters long. 2. PICs can use letters and numbers and are case sensitive. 3. PICs are entered on the Character Select screen. Happy Mapling! - The MapleStory Team - Source:http://maplestory.nexon.net/WZ.ASPX?PART=/News/View&boardNo=100&contentNo=0069w I think this is a good idea. What do you think? Discuss.

nexon seriously has failed.. they leaked out people info so now there trying to make it seem like its safe by adding more pins or new pins. i say this becuase recently i've been hacked for no reason just like a lot of other random people

i personally like it, that way even if ppl have your login/pw there won't be a pin to crack meaning char. selection will be useless without PIC good job Nexon!

So for the first few days, until people get to log in, a person that knows anothers info can get on and create their own PIC?

[quote] Fizeh : They can crack your PIC. Durr. [/quote] the reason you can crack a pin is because there are only 10000 posibilities (0000-9999) with a pic it is letters and number, the different case of the letter ("D" vs "d"), and there can be 6-16 characters. so it is near imposible to crack a pic, just like a pw

[quote] dadude1000 : Nothing was wrong with the pins. [/quote] The pin was easier to crack since its only numbers as the PIC can be both alphabets and numbers and it's max is 16 characters
