| I find it annoying and they shud of kept it the old way. |
| I don't like the new method at all but it's a bit safer from all the hackings that has been going on... hopefully. |
| I like both look safer the pic thing :O |
| I dont like the new method, i kind of think its a waste. If it actually makes the security on the game safer i'll go along with it but seriously they need to fix the hacking issues |
| [quote] Ecstacy4us : Pros: won't get hacked as easy cons: inconvienent [/quote] How? |
| They're case sensitive? Okay, re-doing. *sigh* # of possible combinations for; 6 character PICs: 56,800,235,584 7 character PICs: 3,521,614,606,208 8 character PICs: 218,340,105,584,896 9 character PICs: 13,537,086,546,263,552 10 character PICs: 839,299,365,868,340,224 11 character PICs: 52,036,560,683,837,093,888 12 character PICs: 3,226,266,762,397,899,821,056 13 character PICs: 200,028,539,268,669,788,905,472 14 character PICs: 12,401,769,434,657,526,912,139,264 15 character PICs: 768,909,704,948,766,668,552,634,368 16 character PICs: 47,672,401,706,823,533,450,263,330,816 Wow.

| [quote] theNorm : It looks safer with the pins being replaced by PIC's, it gives a broader range of possible combinations (instead of just 4 characters giving 1000 possible, you have the entire alphanumeric character set at your disposal and can have anywhere from 6-16 characters(anyone wanna run the numbers?)). It seems like they're really trying to crack down on account hacking the only way they really can. They can't just blanket change everyone's password because people don't all have access to their original emails, and pins are too easily cracked. It prolly will get a bit annoying, but it's a well worthwhile update nonetheless. [/quote] Most people are hacked by being keylogged. Many of those keyloggers had a inconvenience with the pin due to it being soft keyboard. Since the PIC is 6-16 characters long with the option of caps and etc, I doubt it'll be soft keyboard. Rendering it easier for keyloggers to access account and characters. |
| Its the same in korea and will be for every game. I actually kinda like it but I can understand the inconvenience most players won't enjoy. |

O.o [/quote] There are programs that can just skip the PIN system. You don't really think that hackers spend their time guessing every possible PIN do you? Silly goose. Instead, they use a pin kracker. Put in login and password, use pin kracker, you're in. I assume it'll be the same with this new PIC. |

| [quote] FFSFistsForSale : I've already talked to a few, and they said they were able to bypass it in KMS, with no problem really, so doubt this is gonna stop hacks at all, just maybe delay them a few days before they're back again.. [/quote] I don't think they patched it this way for the training hackers. More for the account hackers I guess. |
| i cant even get on MS o-o |
| Sorta inconvenient, I mean if the nexon site is down or the server is full, no maplestory, but eh I can live. |
| @Boxhead: Patch is still going on. 20 mins left. |
| i dont agree with Nexon this time... =/ |
