So I have this account with a hermit I used to play. It got hacked by a friend, but that was because I lent it to him for a bit. If I have the email for it, do you think I'm at risk for this reoccurring?

Just change all the information on your account and the email's account.

Right, I know that wasn't the right term, but instead of saying all that I just used "hack" give people an idea.

[/quote] Nearly impossible, unless your account gets deactivated. In that case, you would plead/beg to Nexon in 2000 characters or less to change it to a new one. But doing this, you would have to pretend that you no longer have access to your current email. Of course, there's no real way to do it without lying, because Nexon doesn't grant random email change requests like that. For all they know, a hacker could be the one asking to change the email, screwing over the original owner completely.
