I stopped when my cousin told me it was illegal
Have a lot of fond memories when there was a mini mmorpg bubble in korea
N-age still going strong it seems in 2024 ! So many rare unique korean mmorpg that will never see the light of the day!
Then the cheating got out of hand so they added some anti-cheat software, and shortly after they wanted people to verify their identity by sending a scan of their id/passport. This is when 99% of players left.
I know of one place where there is zero spam and it’s because of the identity vetting infrastructure.
Eventually was made illegal and what ended up happening was a huge korean social security numbers being traded online in Chinese forums (who had economic incentives to farm, hack, cheat items from korean mmorpgs)
