I tried to play this a while back, but it screwed up. Might have been my computer. I'll try this again though.

OH...MY...FCKING....GOD

This thing does not want me to register. I've literally gone through a dozen usernames, including random letters, and it says that they are taken. WTF?!?!?!

[size=1]Sorry, I don't trust Korean MMORPGs anymore. A friend told me that there was open beta testing for Ragnarok Online 2, but you need to give a (Korean) Social Security Number. What kind of government....

Oh, right.

Not to mention it just looks sort of guay to me. And Nazi's description makes it all the more so. Lol.[/size]

Well that is to keep all the non koreans from playing the beta... Since the game is for korean originally would you want other people going in there like kind of giving them their input and stuff when they are not the target audience?

[size=1]@Meso: That's true, but even the Korean Social Security Number Verification System is flawed. Read this:[/size]

This social security number identification system has been a long established presence in Korea to verify the 19-years-or-older restriction for porn sites. I remember those halcyon days when my adventurous endeavors to look at naked ladies would be coldly blocked by a black wall of doom with a big red 19. But there is a critical 2-part weakness to this system, which I will discuss below.

The intention of this Google implementation is to block another gateway to porn for South Korea’s horny youngsters. I can personally attest to the fact that Koreans probably have a higher sex drive than any other organism on the planet. The only problem is that most of that emotional energy is channeled to handball instead of baseball (wink) because of the conservative nature of Korean culture. So the rate of exposure to porn among male teenagers in Korea is just phenomenal, and you know how addictive porn can be. Are you a new generation male Korean in Korea? I can guarantee you that you are a porn addict. Don’t lie, asshole.

Besides the inherent genetic horniness of Koreans, the state of Korean technology encourages the domination of the adult industry. My parents, who live in Korea, just upgraded their standard subscription DSL line to 100 Mbps download speed. Compare that to my seemingly ultra-blazing 6 Mbps cable subscription with my local provider here in Pennsylvania. This ultra internet speed is great for the national broadband infrastructure, but it is also a porn surfer’s dream. I would imagine that this would eliminate any lingering wait time for those huge high-quality WMV files of hardcore Japanese rape porn. On the other hand, if the information technology of Korea were not so advanced, it would make approaching porn more intimidating, since the download and lag times would discourage the thrashing of the male organ.

Now, here are the 2 problems that I discovered from the social security number verification system. The first problem is a major security risk: it makes phishing so damn easy. Desperate guys who want to quickly blow their loads will type in their name and social security number into any form that pops up, as long as it doesn’t ask them to pay. And since the SS# identification is standard practice, you generally wouldn’t check for the legitimacy of the site (which is difficult to do in the first place) and you wouldn’t think twice about it.

If you are a professional phisher who loves to steal personal information, you must expand your operations to Korean websites because your conversion rate will skyrocket. Your next problem will be figuring out what to do with the thousands of stolen identities. Sell them to the Malaysians and Filipinos who are dying to illegally enter Korean borders.

The second flaw with this SS# system is that it is so easy bypass. If you are teenager in Korea, you literally have to be mentally retarded to not be able to figure out how to steal one of your parent’s social security numbers. Plus, it’s so damn easy to remember: (6 digits representing your birth date) (dash) (another 6 digits of random numbers). Then you could bypass Google Korea and all the Korean porn sites with the easily stolen identification of your parent. Imagine hunting for MILFs as your mother.


[size=1]From http://www.itmilk.com/2007/05/17/social-se...s-google-korea/

I guess credit cards wouldn't work for identification purposes since you can't really charge for an *open* beta...I'm just saying, there's no way in hell I'd give my SSN to play a game in the US. And what I just quoted might not make any sense at all, but I just thought you'd all enjoy reading it.[/size]

A, you do realize if you sign up for this game and it asks for that "social security question", I just inserted in my phone number and it worked.

So yeah, you don't need to sweat about giving your SSN.

* For non-Malaysian, please key in any valid ID (ID, driving license, passport, etc).
So basically, it's just a numerical ID that's easy for you to remember.
