[Sublime]

Nexon Korea is great

Nexon America sucks.

However, what nexon korea did was a witch move and they deserved it

 

[Liv3]

I didn't get a kick out of this. To be honest, I could care less.

 

[luspoci]

it will be illegal for game companies to obtain gamers' Social Security Number (KSSN) as part of the signup process starting from 18th August 2012. Other methods are to be used, including mobile identification.

This will be fun

 

[rice]

>giving out social security numbers
ha ha ha oh wow

there goes the required SSN on registration.
in the mean time, nexon is gonna have to make some money

 

[Diamondo25]

Only 6 million? That's like 0.01% of Nexon's pocket.

What I found more interesting is..

A new law will also come into effect next month, making "companies" which earn revenue through selling game gold and items illegal. The exact details are still unknown, but the action of "trading more than 10 times in a period of 6 months, including earning over 12 million KRW" is the new guideline for authorities to take action on.

 

[drzboy]

fuckpls now be legit

 

[MrReese]

not gonna read this, i just hope they all go bankrupt

 

[samchris122]

giving out social security numbers? your only supposed to give those to your employer. wtf.

 

[Sublime]

^ employer? ........... no. It's used for verification so i assume it's stored in a database

 

[lFatelHighDef]

Lol, six million dollars... that's the amount Nexon Korea spends on breakfast for its employees.

 

[BrianAure]

Mobile transaction would be more easier to access KMS, than kssn's More american players on kms now

 

[Sparrow]

So, the trade of Virtual Items for money is going to be banned? gg.

Yes, but there's going to be a limit. I also decided to read this

"
For online role-playing games, the law prohibits users from using programs that allow in-game characters to hunt and collect items without the need of a player controlling them.

The ministry calculates that over 60 percent of items exchanged on the market were obtained by the use of automatic programs. Such programs and other method are impinging in the way of on-line games’ negative reputation, the government agency said."

In this case, i CAN be wrong, but I believe they are reffering to Meso Selling Websites.

 

[Skorch]

i bet most of the KSSN's don't belong to the players lol

 

[maplefreak26]

They're referring to the Black Markets, not Cash Shops and etc.

I want to see which method they are going to use (mobile phone verification) when KSSNs can't be used.

 

[FLOfficial]

Oh yeah no KSSN or mobile identification are gonna be needed anymore,
this is sweet....

You're not wrong. they are referring to 3rd companies selling game cash....

Actually, mobile identification is going to be a method used not removed. They are removing KSSNs, and adding in Mobile Indentification.
