So I just got IP banned today while changing some of my mule accounts passwords, and it said I was banned for suspicious activity. Has anyone else been IP banned like this? and if so did you get unbanned and how long did it take?

Log a ticket. If that doesn't help wait 3+ months.

This has been happening since the last patch. In the message that comes up telling you that you're IP banned, there's a link at the end. Click the link and it will pop up a form. Fill that out and Nexon will review your case and if they decide you're a legit player they'll unban your IP address. They started doing this to trap "meso farmer hackers" and "FM spammers" who have a lot of fake accounts and need to change a lot of passwords. Unfortunately they've also been catching a lot of legit players in the trap too. It CAN take a few weeks for them to get to it, but people have started reporting getting unbanned lately.

My husby and daughter started Wonderking until they sort thru the piles and piles of people they IP blocked with this dumb new thing about the passwords! They sould have realized that there are families that play together! We have 4 players in our house, so we have to be really careful now when the unblock us! We also have many mule accounts that we cant remember the email to, so we are kinda screwed there! They want you to reactivate the accounts after you change the passwords! Not sure what was on them and I am not sure we are ever going to find out! Good luck to you!<3

I have been IP banned since the 3 month password change system was implemented (my birthday @_@) but I just use a proxy whenever i feel like playing MS, so its fine, just a bit annoying.

Same here... Also, don't bother to use HOTSPOT SHEILD! It will put you in a big mess cause when you turn it off, the IP assigned will be changed to another and you will have to reactivate your account and change the password... Best choice is to wait.

So if you're banned, can you still get to the channel selection? 'Cause that's ow far I get, and I got a note yesterday that I've been banned. I never used any kind of hacks or whatsoever, I don't even know how to. Stupid nexon f4
