Nexon's primary goal is to provide our DFO players with a safe gaming environment in which you don't have to worry about hackers and farmers spoiling your fun. To this end, we are currently implementing a series of aggressive measures that target hackers and gold farmers.
Some of these measures include:
- Upgrades to DFO's security system so as to better identify hackers and gold farmers
- A stricter policy for dealing with identified hackers and associated accounts
- Harsher legal action to shut down websites that sell DFO gold
- Frequent updates to block known hack tools
- Wider monitoring of sharp changes in the game economy
As we take these steps, we would like to also enlist the DFO community to help us keep the game safe, secure and fun. Here are some things you can do:
1. Create a Goblin Pad password – Take advantage of the Goblin Pad. The Goblin Pad code keeps potential hackers from altering your inventory without your permission. You can read up on it HERE.
2. Change your password every three months - We recently launched the Password Update Campaign to encourage players to change their password every three months. Changing your password frequently is a vital step in the protection of your account.
3. Do not share accounts - Account sharing is against the Nexon Terms of Use. More importantly, it opens your account up to disaster. Please remember that neither Nexon employees nor GMs will ever ask for your password.
4. Do not buy or sell in-game gold and items for real money - The selling or buying of in-game gold and items for real money is also a violation of our Terms of Use and a bannable offense. More importantly, it ruins the in-game economy, creates an imbalance in the game's dynamics, and deflates the fun of the game for everybody else who loves playing.
With your help, we can minimize the impact of hackers and spammers out there and make the gaming environment fun and safe for all.
Thanks so much for your help. Fight on, brave warriors!
