How do you switch accounts with nexon launcher? I hate closing everything and then re-opening nexon launcer, wait for maple to load then relog.

    Unfortunately that is the only way to do it.
    Great Quality of Life improvement, right?

    Well, it's not working.
    I just took a trip to the Herb Town area, and found the usual Blaze Wizard hacker-bots in their usual maps.

    I've personally theorized it would help slightly in that area, but I'm sure reasons go deeper than that.

    We'd really love to hear some reasons other than "it's too much effort for us to prepare the manual patch and full download every time". That is really not an acceptable reason for making so many players unable to play at all, and many others have to work harder to play. It's a company's job to make their product as accessible as possible, so customers don't give up and leave.

    Maybe if they gave us a good reason we'd be able to see their side and accept the hassle of taking 10 minutes to switch accounts, rather than half a minute, as a fair price to pay.

    The best part? You have to actually go into a separate dialog window(settings) on the launcher to log out. Wouldn't that be something you include in the dropdown menu, and not hidden in settings?

    See, you'd think it would be here, where pretty much anything else would have a log out button

    But it's actually here

    @Aggraphine: the drop-down menu from your profile name contains the "Logout" option.
    At least for me it does, because I told it not to log in automatically, so I don't need to "clear saved credentials."
    (However, it still puts the last used account ID into the login form, so I have to clear that to use another name.
    On the other hand, it doesn't remember what world I just used. Even if I'm in-game and click "change character", the last world I used is not highlighted by default. Go figure.)

    You can click on your name to log out.

    Okay, I'll give you guys that one. Didn't know that's where they crammed the logout button.

    lol I remember having trouble finding the logout button too. I actually had to google where the hell they put it. Seems I wasn't the only one.
