The New Nexon Portal

While this update isn't a part of Combat Arms, you need a Nexon Passport to play so the new Nexon portal is sorta relevant to our interests.

The Nexon portal is the official nexon.net website, a place where you charge NX, change your details and read the Nexon News... and it recently got a relaunch.

One of the main complaints of the old portal was the requirement of your full name and date of birth in order to change your password. This was difficult for people who decided to falsify their information and not record it, as this meant that none of their details could be changed.

Another odd requirement was required to change the email address associated with your Passport. Players would have to request a change via a ticket, and then fill in a form and fax it along with proof of identity (passport, drivers licence...). Reminder that this was just to change an email address.

With the launch of the new portal all you need to do is click a reactivation link that is sent to your email address.

The login pages used to have a theme to go with them, depending on what game referred you to that login page. This has been replaced by the top navigational bar as well as a central login page in a Nexon theme.

This relaunch sets doubt on the troubled BlockParty social network, as BlockParty was meant to replace Nexon.net completely (we were also meant to have a party "to say good bye to the old Nexon.net"). It wouldn't make much sense to relaunch the portal and then get rid of it when BlockParty is launched, so it is safe to say the the scope of the project has been modified.
