So I heard that hackers only need the username to hack somebody now, and everything else can be bypassed? .... dunno how true that is but if that's the case I think I'll just quit....

they need the birthday requirement. I'm cool with the pin removed, but Birthday requirement? Now there's nothing standing in the way of your characters being screwed if your PIC is discovered. Wasn't that the purpose of the Birthday pin in the first place? User, pw, pin, birthday code. Now they have user, pw, PIC. they removed a layer of security o_o
If this was the case we will still see people getting hacked to this point and at a faster rate.
Why don't post like this get deleted? When someone posted how he thinks people are getting hacked it got deleted before anyone can see it.
Regarding b-days being removed it was only for deleting accounts. What else did your b-day serve as? If they are able to crack your pic your b-day is nothing, everyone needs to stop thinking as if hackers are going to really waste their time to put your pic in just to delete your char.

The b-day is still needed for gifting, and most likely name change/server transfer.
my PIC is apparently 17 characters long , i wrote the last char twice, and i get in by typing it twice.
Did you un-highlight the last character with the right arrow OR switch to (un)capitalized and reswitch back? Otherwise, it will overwrite the first one. For example, if you have "FF" somewhere in your PIC (e.g., ________FF______), then if you input the first F but leave it's asterisk highlighted, the second F will overwrite that first F. So in that example, your PIC would actually be ________F______. A similar thing happens if you wanted "FE" or "FD" instead. Leaving that asterisk highlighted makes you input just a E or D instead of the two letters.
It is more obvious if the first letter of the letter combination you're using isn't a C, F, I, L, etc. For example, if you wanted to put in "DF", then you'd clearly see that asterisk that was your D, turn into an E.

Is anyone not using the website to start maple?I'm for one am starting it the same way like always.
If any byte of information was changed, I'd see it. If they remove an image I know about it. If they add an image I know about it. If they change images I know about it. If they change data I know about it. No data was changed for Map.wz. The only reason they have to patch Map.wz even though no data is added is to change the offsets due to the offset encryption.
Holy pomegranate this thing is tough to use on my laptop's touchpad. Half the time when I click a letter it accidentally double clicks. And having to use t9 style input is just sick. I'd estimate I have to click about 60 times to input a 10 character password, as compared to 4 times for a 4 number PIN. So I guess that's like 2 minutes to log in, every time? Say bye to drop trading >_>
Also, i think this is a deterrent for people who share accounts. It basically makes it so that if you do share an account, the person you share it with will have the ability to delete the characters, which isnt exactly doable before without the birthday code.
Usually if you share accounts it means there's a mutual agreement to not do any serious things like delete characters unless all people sharing the account are aware of it. Otherwise, you obviously met the wrong person to trust your account to if he/she deletes characters without your consent.
