Now i understand the need to add a login outside the game ("might" make it harder to bot i guess) but adding a verification code too?
My Internet provider (as a big part of the users that play here) uses a dynamic IP address. That means every 4-5 days i have new IPs.
I have a bunch of other accounts that i use, and what you are making me do is getting a new code to my mail (witch is in diferent providers) to get a code! Some of the accounts i dont even remember my email info! Does that mean i will have to stop playing on them????
Be realistic, take this verification code from the login.
PS: Apparently you need to do a verification every time someone login? You really want for ppl to give up playing here?
This "feature" should be made COMPLETELY OPTIONAL!
Only for those who want to "secure" their account.
Let it be enabled by default, but there must a way to opt out of this crap!
sad situation for me that i before cant change mail coz mail server that used no more exists, old iss accout, now i cant even log in, lol, got items in that acc, before update was not announce that to log will neeed verify code, fail from ncwest again
The account migration was not that long ago.. how can you possibly lose an "old" account in such a short amount of time. You guys are mostly upset because it will conflict with account sharing and bot programs.
The new system is fine and I have not had any problems logging in. If you cannot access your account then you probably bought it, otherwise theres an account recovery option.

you can lose email accounts ridiculously easily .. friend lost a gmail account cause some random chinese decided to dictionary attack, google locked the account and to recover it they wanted weird stuff, last login, creation date, contacts, tabs, stuff you won't have on an email account created just for the purpose of placeholding a lineage 2 game account.
The design was ******ed from the start, it forced you to create "fake" email accounts (fake as in accounts beyond your regular email account) simply to placehold your game accounts... the old system of nesting game accounts under a master account was 1000 times better.

no1 here talking about migration lol, if not migrated, u was not able to even log, problem is that cant log in, coz of verify code
In my country, almost all connections have dynamic IPs, very few connections have static IPs (mostly companies).
This means:
that my IP is usually reset every 24-48 hours or as often as the ISP feels like it that my IP is reset every time I restart my modem.
The latest years, you set your systems in that way, so that we're forced to verify our connection in the PlayNC account. So, once I try to log in, I have to log into my email and verify my identity. The system even prompts me to "save this IP as verified", but there is no point in me saving any of these IPs! Did I mention that my IP changes every now and then? Why would I save as "verified" an IP, that I will probably never use again? To be honest, I could live with that, if it was required only when I needed to log into my account settings, as that doesn't occur often.
Now, with this recent update, you guys came up with this brilliant plan to require IP verification IN EVERY GAME LOGIN. Seriously???
Did you really think this would be practical?
I have 10 accounts [all in good standing], all under different email accounts, as -allow me to remind you- you actually made us create individual email accounts for each game account.
Also, please allow me to describe the steps of me trying to play, by logging in 3 accounts (which is my usual setup):
Launch game, client 1. Enter login info. Log in email 1, copy verification code, paste verification code. Launch game, client 2. Enter login info. Log in email 2, copy verification code, paste verification code. Launch game, client 3, Enter login info. Log in email 3, copy verification code, paste verification code.
Once my IP resets... back to square 1.

Please remove the IP verification system. ASAP.
Thank you in advance.
Not to mention that by using this system you letting a stranger that happens to get your IP access to the game.
I'm having this problem with one of my bills not getting me the mail with the verification code, I took 2 hours trying and nothing. Add the address to safe list [email protected], but fails the verification code. I'm using mixmail.com

This, I too have a dynamic IP like 95% of the people in my country so this is a complete nuisance.
in Naia, running around bloody swamp, I run into 3 separate 3man bot groups, complete with ksdaj3847 nicks. summoner + iss + random toon So yeah. The awesome antibot lasted for about 4 hours, the the login mess will stay with us for a while though.
hahahhaa, bots are under siege. Good work NcWest, I like this.
For all qq-ers, L2 its about team play-role play...L2 its not about "i have 80 chars and i box 3 sessions x 3 computers :)) coz i dont know how else i can earn more adena :))
You shoud qq NCWest to do more "PR" for the game in order to have more ppl online in game :)
i hope they do it for me too .. lost my iss account and many zaken char accounts ... i dont care about zaken chars too much but my iss ... i have her 2,5 years and lvl it up to 97 with no boosts so hard ... send a ticket but no reply and i guess will take long cuz half server has same problem
/ret@rd detected
you never use trade toon / spy toon same time you play ?
or you havent boxed iss for buffs on your lvl 100+ to make something, at least solo exp?
i am using, its not problem for me to log 2 windows.
problem is email confirmation
1st - why you need that, if its not protect from bots ? make it option for ppl crazy on conspiracy theory
2nd - you need to wait that mail and usual its happens when you need to hurry with something, so its just annoying
No problem with the verification system on any of my accounts, nor any in the cp in general afaik.
I got dynamic IP too and since let's say I do this for living, your must be taking the people for very naive to believe something that simply isn't true - your IP will be reassigned with new one, even after restart of let's day your adsl/docsys modern, because any sane ISP simply doesn't want that to happen, so the dhcp server binds 2 or max 6 IPs to your modem MAC and that's it.
Yes I know that incompetent idiotic ISPs exist, but that ain't no NCSoft problem.
Let's face the facts people.
NC doesn't want you to play too many toons. NC wants you to play only 1 toon!
NC actually cares for your health! and we should be thankful for this!
I had 8 accounts and had the ambition of playing all 35 classes in L2; but with the recent update, I've decided to abandon 5 accounts, playing only 3 accounts now...Ah well...it's probably for the best. Now I can focus more..
