They used to make a post on the main site whenever they did this, but I am concerned and confused as to why they haven't. Also, can anyone point out what the changes/additions were compared to before? Thank you to the un-named individual who pointed this out to me.

Much as I would like the world to really know & comprehend what is really going on with how such a system actually operates, knowledge of its «truth» requires the literal learning of Legalese, but to «simplify» things I am just going to say that the wording/format is not «coincidental» across the entire world in every language and in every country (which are not actually countries but are corporations) but really quite deliberate as such «ideas» for as to why such «rules» are put in place come from somewhere, and I cannot deny the fact that it has sometimes forced me to «question» the «logic» behind why certain things are put in place as some of them can come across to me as being rather a little over-board or even paranoid. Ultimately, the «jurisdiction» that has to be respected is the one that applies to every universe, and that particular «jurisdiction» largely revolves around whether we are being «reasonable» or not.
With that mentioned, and given the topic itself, I will take this opportunity to use it to mention something else that does in fact, bother me a lot. The forced collection of «taxes» from on-line transactions, and the fact that there still seems to be a lot of people who really believe that «taxation» is some-how a «legitimate» activity, even when the very «institutions» demanding these «tax» payments are actually operating outside of their jurisdiction. Unfortunately, because the «system» has literally become a world-controlling «religion» ever since long ago, some people are still going to employ its version of «apologetics» to defend and even demand for the enslavement that is called taxation, even to the point of calling it «constitutional» (also of which it is actually not).
Rather than putting details about «constitutionality/unconstitutionality» here in the main body of this message I'll just leave the rest in spoiler...
The Constitution for the united States of America,
adopted in 1787. All members of the “States of America” organization are Federal States of States, also called “Confederate States” which have been mothballed since 1868.
2. The Territorial Constitution is called:
“The Constitution of the United States of America”
adopted in 1789 — notice the small “the”. This version of “United States of America” is a British commercial corporation operated as a “Territorial Democracy” — which has been running the Federal District Government in the “absence” of our own Federal States of States — not be confused with our American Federation of States doing business as The United States of America.
3. The Municipal Constitution is called:
“The Constitution of the United States” adopted in 1790.
Notice that there is no reference to “of America” involved. Notice also the small “the” as part of “the United States” — this municipal commercial corporation is not to be confused with The United States representing our republican states.

federal tax trials are not a judicial or even a lawful proceeding. In fact, based on several Freedom of Information Act Requests (FOIA) about the status of numerous federal district court “judges” we have, who hear such tax cases, most of the judges do not have a valid appointment document, never took any oath as required by positive law, and aren’t even listed as “judges” in the records of the government!
Don’t believe us? Send in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request yourself and find out! Throughout the remainder of this section, we will refer to these imposters simply as “pseudo judges”. Therefore, our “United States District Courts” have simply become the equivalent of administrative federal office buildings that are part of the Executive, and not Judicial, branch of the government. A truly sovereign and independent Article III Judicial Branch can’t even be mentioned in any federal statute, because of the separation of powers doctrine, and yet we have a whole Title of the U.S. Code, Title 28, which defines and prescribes what pseudo judges in these bogus “courts” can and can’t do.
The Supreme Court says the existence of such laws proves that such “courts” aren’t really judicial tribunals. Notice the statement “the ONLY judicial power vested in Congress” below:
“As the only judicial power vested in Congress is to create courts whose judges shall hold their offices during good behavior, it necessarily follows that, if Congress authorizes the creation of courts and the appointment of judges for limited time, it must act independently of the Constitution upon territory which is not part of the United States within the meaning of the Constitution."
[O'Donohue v. United States, 289 U.S. 516, 53 S.Ct. 740 (1933)]
Title 28 not only “creates” all the district and circuit courts of the United States, but it in fact even defines what the “judges” CANNOT rule on. See 28 U.S.C. §2201(a), which plainly states that federal judges CANNOT rule on rights in the context of income taxes. Excuse our language here, but what the HELL is a judge for if he can’t defend or rule on our 18 rights(!)? We’ll give you a hint: The only “rights” he is there to protect are the governments “right” to STEAL your money and use it to subsidize socialism.
The only type of court over which the Congress could have such absolute legislative power over judges is in an Article IV (of the Constitution), territorial court, and this in fact exactly describes our present District and Circuit federal court systems. Our present federal District and Circuit courts were created to rule ONLY over issues relating to federal territory and property under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the Constitution. They are all “legislative” rather than “constitutional” or “judicial” courts. They are part of the Executive Branch of the government, and which have no authority to even address Constitutional rights. They are NOT part of the “judicial branch”, and this is a deception.
The entire Judicial Branch, in fact, is composed exclusively of the seven justices of the Supreme Court. A very exclusive club, we might add! “The United States District Court has only such jurisdiction as Congress confers [by legislation].” 28 [Eastern Metals Corp. v. Martin, 191 F.Supp. 245 (D.C.N.Y. 1960)]
If the pseudo judges who hear tax trials aren’t even part of the Judicial branch, were never appointed, and are simply “employees” of the Executive Branch, then what exactly are they? They are simply imposters who are there to create the illusion that there is even a remote possibility of equity and justice in the courtroom relating to an income tax issue. To preserve some semblance of civil order and prevent a massive civil revolt, the government has to maintain some kind of façade so that the people don’t lose faith in a government that in fact has already become totally corrupted in the area of money and commerce.
You get that?

No wonder they are ruling against the constitution.......
I think Helsa does :P
Nerd!
Edit: Thank you Helsa for your insight on the matter even though it does not directly answer my question.
What.
"No one" is going to tell you because they haven't thoroughly read/inspected both versions of the ToS to know what changes were made. It's not a matter of "FUD", per se, but rather, carelessness.
I'm not particularly sure why you reached out to the forum community for this in the first place. There's only a very small sample of players that post in these forums. Try asking somebody who works in Nexon's customer service.
Nah, I just play someone who does on TV.
You're dating yourself dear; nerds are cool now.
Glad to be of some service. I suppose there is a small chance you /might/ find what you need via the Way-back Machine. Other than that, you'd have to contact Nexon directly, I'd suppose, for what you want.
She's right you know, none of us are lawyers or attorneys. If you were looking for a response from a staff member in these forums I'm sorry to inform you but Kyrios is done baby sitting us.
oof. XD
Patiently waits for the one random lawyer/attorney that plays the game to show up.
But Habi is here.
...and just as confusing as ever.
I mean seriously, I'm not going to read the ToS. I am certainly not going to read all that either. XD
As for changes, this was added under "IV. VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL ITEMS"
Aside from this, the majority of their contact information has been trimmed down to just an address, instead urging you to contact them through their Support System rather than attempting to make a phone call or send an e-mail, in case you need contact them for any reason whatsoever.
PS: Do note that I only had the (STEAM) version from May 2018 to compare with.
If the information under section IV was already changed prior, I couldn't tell. And if it is different simply because it is hosted on different platforms, there likely isn't much of a difference to begin with aside from a few typo fixes and spacing adjustments.
I used the archive link Helsa suggested to take a look into to history to find any changes, but I didn't get anything other than a blank page, save for the login/account creation buttons. My guess is there is a script involved that keeps us from using past iterations of the contract against them in legal situations regarding financial issues occurring in the past by making it difficult for us to grab it (if you're a low-effort internet-user).
You don't have to be a lawyer to be able to read documents. If you don't have to be a lawyer to agree to the ToS, you don't have to be a lawyer to scrutinize it. Else, we could pursue some "cause" against Nexon for allowing 14-year children to be able to agree to legal documents carrying serious legal consequences.
And if you think Nexon is purposefully going to explain the changes made to their ToS in present day era where the slightest error can cost you everything and people don't trust corporations, you're mistaken. They're not going to give you an edge against them, should you ever consider pursuing legal confrontation. But, this assumes even Customer Service pays attention enough to know the changes. As someone that's worked in that role: I can assure you they don't.
Please, don't provoke these types of people. The community is polluted enough with them, ready to finger-vomit their opinions all over their keyboard. Let them stay in their "Containment Units."
Even if someone happened to be a lawyer/attorney here, law-school literally doesn't actually teach law, but, instead, only really pumps out a bunch of BAR-association members who naïvely get into the profession thinking that they're going to make any sort of change for the better. I was at a «legal-department» some time ago discussing these matters with one of their department-members, and she was telling me how she thought that the «system» was about justice when she first got into the profession, but admitted to me that she was quite dis-illusioned once she witnessed what typically and actually happens in the court-rooms.
Spoiler-Content : Why the U.S. is a Corporation (not solely because of Title 28 U.S. Code 3002[15][a]), things that lawyers/attorneys see/witness in the court-rooms that may cause them to become dis-illusioned, the fact that every «court» is really just a show-trial kangaroo-court (mostly in the USA which has over 50% of the entire world's lawyers but also happens a lot internationally), and a hint as to why anybody claiming to be a U.S. citizen is so heavily taxed on everything.
I will hold off on bothering to explain why U.S. registered corporations/companies are all subject to all of the Title 18 U.S. Codes and Title 28 U.S. Codes but, for now, I am just going to remind everyone as to why being a subject of the U.S. Code makes one liable to all sorts of taxation, because the «status» itself is a debt-status, evidenced by the following information coming out of a significant Congressional-record...:
The Legislative Act of February 21, 1871, Forty-first Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, page 419, Congress chartered a Federal Company entitled “United States,” a/k/a “US Inc.,” a “Commercial Agency” originally designated as “Washington, D.C.,” in accordance with the 14th Amendment which the record indicates was never ratified (see Utah Supreme Court Cases, Dyett v. Turner, (1968) 439 P.2d 266, 267; State v. Phillips, (1975) 540 P.2d 936; as well as Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 448, 59 S.Ct. 972; 28 Tulane Law Review, 22; 11 South Carolina Law Quarterly 484; Congressional Record, June 13, 1967, pp. 1564-15646). A “citizen of the United States” is a civilly dead entity operating as a co-trustee and co-beneficiary of the PCT [Private Charitable Trust], the private constructive, cestui que trust of US Inc. under the 14th Amendment, which upholds the debt of the USA and US Inc. in Section 4.
All of this ties in to locating the «United States» literally within the «District of Columbia» (within the document that you can read for yourself at https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/41st-congress/session-3/c41s3ch62.pdf it is literally worded : «CHAP. LXII. - An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia.» ...have any of you ever tried to find the «District of Columbia» on a world-map ? Does that place look like it contains the whole of the entire United States to you ? The word «jurisdiction» is very relevant and important here but is far too involved of a topic for me to be willing to go over it in detail at this time without some serious compensation for my time & research-efforts in putting together such study material for which most people would be too lazy to read & study anyway).
Thank you for your answer, this helps me alot!
