Tried to change your password for the game recent?

Now the game will no longer let me change the password within the game it only gives me a link and says i have to change it at plaync.com.....this account is NOT a plaync account....BUT...i figured something out...if you have an account that has bought slots from the in-game store...it will make you change your password at plaync.com.......if you have an account that has not bought from the in-game store then it will let you change passwords as normal......

Question.........Why has this changed? I really do not like this......

When i tried the store option just to check it out it required me to log in with a Play NC account. so buying an extra slot seems a bit off for me
Don't need one thoguh

Legend, I can confirm until you use the store option you can change the password through the client. I also do not like this. I thought when I originally linked the accounts that the password would be basically a "once off" to ensure "security" when linking store and game accounts.

With all the security problems NCSoft is renowned for, I have avoided changing my password altogether, something which I don't particularly like either. But what can we do? NCSoft is too insecure, yet not changing passwords every couple of months is also insecure. It's pretty much a loose-loose situation for those who have done it.

As much as the extra character slots are heaven sent, I would honestly advise against linking PlayNC accounts to your game account.

I am pretty sure this did not happen until this week/last......

I could change my password the same as before....but tried to change my password because it was brought to my attention (last night)from another player who is having the same problem. I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD THROUGH PLAYNC.COM LINK....when my account is NOT a plaync account.......never has been.....and now i cannot remember the answer to my secert question/password/account name for the "buying slots" account

i contacted plaync.com support and got auto replys saying please send us your guild wars access keys......DO THEY KNOW HOW MANY KEYS THAT IS!??!

(i have every key possiable)

If i knew this would have happend i would never have bought a slot...and i thought about getting nigthfall through the store on another account....but thats a no way
