Before, the process of deleting a character requires a birthday code. Now it is not required and simply pressing "Delete Character" once you have selected the character. I have heard from 2 very good friends that have been hacked and lost their characters. Nexon really needs to update the information needed to delete a character.

I've had two of my old accounts hacked because of the sudden required password change. The only thing keeping my accounts safe was the pin. And the removed it. But I don't even know how they found my password in the first place. I don't really care, I just think it's rediculous how this could happen to someone though.

Pic is a random combination on "soft keyboard" making it impossible to brute force hack (which can be done with passwords) So hackers can hardly get that unless your pic is being told to you or they have a soft keyboard converter which worked the the 4 digit pin system back when it was being used,

No, its your dumbass fault if you couldn't remember a simple birthday. Now Nexon helped everyone out. You swear like getting hacked is easier now, PIC > PINs...
