    You guys remember the time when the launcher got introduced (forced) and the population halved?
    What's half of a half?

    Can't believe you guys really didn't learn from all the players you lost with the initial forced move to the Nexon Launcher. Who is running things over there? Do you really think there's any chance of getting us to check out other titles you host when you do it by brute force? With this and the recent ban wave I'm done supporting this title.

    You don't communicate with us before making sweeping changes, you don't reply to polite inquiries made by large numbers of players, and you don't take players' best interests into account before you implement systems that literally make the game unplayable for some. I don't understand the motivations, but if your end game is wrecking your players, grats on hitting the new level cap.

    This shitty launcher is finally shoved into our faces again and was only successful because they got rid of their other login servers lul.
    It does nothing other than to inconvenience players.
    Those with multiple accounts have to waste time relaunching the game.

    I'm not sure the math would work out as its far from being linear. This game's population has been hemorrhaging players for long than I can remember. I've always tried to think optimistically about things, imagining that Nexon could undo the damage from the past by correcting their mistakes. Now I can say that I'm no longer hopeful.

    It's not possible to direct launch anymore?

    Well there goes the ability to play my alt accounts, since I don't run steam or the launcher on those computers (copied from main every patch). Edit: Hell, I can't even play them on my main computer, since Steam only registers to a single account and the only way I could login to another is via direct launch.

    I mean, not like the change to e-mail login didn't significantly impact that anyway. Not only is it significantly slower to login, I don't even know half the e-mails for my alt accounts, and I DON'T EVEN HAVE ACCESS TO TWO OF THEM because the e-mail service shutdown. I haven't been able to update my information on them, and in fact I can't even login to one. They're all old old accounts created over 6 years ago (and my main's been here before Mabinogi's release).

    So yes, I agree with everyone else about how astoundingly stupid this is. The forced nexon launcher and complete banning of the discussion of direct launch significantly hurt the playerbase, and now this change hurts a bunch of the remaining players.

    Why is Nexon making it consistently harder for everyone to play their games? They're not even offering anything beneficial in return; just implementing more cash-grab nonsense in them. It's sickening, aggravating and depressing.

    When I said that, I don't mean it literally.
    What I mean is that what happened then is going to happen again now.

    So I guess it's time for me to quit all my characters since I can't log into them. Thanks Nexon always looking out for interest of playerbase and forcing unwanted change down people's throats.

    What's the deal with some people being unable to log in?

    I've only ever logged in using verified email addresses so this update hasn't hindered me at all.

    Do you want people to quit? Because this is how people will quit.

    Killing off one of the few things that is extremely convenient for players to use is kinda stupid but hey, you do you.

    A lot of people have been using direct launch since they've been playing. I have for almost 7 years coming up this fall. When you get used to something, its hard to change, especially if the change is only going to be a handicap with nothing positive added.

    @Soj you could login previously with a Nexon ID. Now you must use an email, and it must be verified. It's been so long since they've needed to actually needed to access the email account for any reason that they have actually lost access to it. You can't just change the account email without verifying first, meaning that some players are entirely locked out of accounts that they've had for years.

    You can't log on to multiple accounts on steam. One account linked per steam account.

    Other servers have been using launchers that work awhile ago. This is pretty much inevitable.

    If you're not running Vindictus with a Nexon or Stream launcher, you're pretty much out of luck.
    Direct launch doesn't work anymore.

    So from patch notes....."On Wednesday, April 19th, all services for Vindictus will perform a scheduled maintenance in order to enable everyone around the globe to better enjoy Vindictus and other Nexon titles". Who is the "EVERYONE"? They blocked EU regions that they shouldn't have and also made it MUCH harder for anyone with multiple accounts to enjoy the game. 'Oh I need that Nea raid on my Delia lets reload the game for 5 mins and hope that pug group doesn't fill.'

    Have they at least grandfathered in the old EU beta accounts into NA that EU grandfathered in after beta? You know those accounts that were able to keep playing cuz they were in beta and they played fine on the EU servers for years till they hit that NA brickwall? You know that group of people who were some of your biggest supporters since they were playing since BETA?
