Like it says we gotta get 2700+ points, but there's only 2 social network options to share points on. I hope it doesn't glitch out and give updates for more points daily.

    Look at the bottom, see all those "coming soon"s? Take your current amount of points, then add 200 for each "coming soon". To save you some time, there are 15 total tiles at the bottom of the page, three of which are unlocked. There are 12 left that you can share to Twitter/FB when they unlock.

    12 * 200 = 2400, add that to the 800 you ought to have right now, and you get 3000.

    TL;DR: You'll be fine, relax man

    Shared but got an error saying "Sorry! There was a problem giving points. Please make sure your account is eligible". Even though it has been shared and posted on my profiles, what's going on? My account meets all the requirements. I hope this isn't a bug only affecting European accounts or something...

    I don't see any "Coming Soon"s at the bottom of the page. Can someone screenshot it?

    Edit: Just kidding, I was on the wrong micro-site page.

    I've got to say this is an extremely convoluted new way to register for a giftpack.
    What was wrong with the previous method?
    Come to think of it, what was wrong with the old method of just giving every account a giftpack, without need for pre-registration at all?

    I don't have Twitter or Facebook, (and I'm not going to get them), so I can't participate in this, apparently.

    pretty sure all you need to do it click the share button but you dont actually have to post it

    but I could be posting secrets people weren't meant to find out.

    I made a Twitter for this. It's easy to make throwaways.

    I mean, if you can't bring yourself to even make a simple throwaway account for nothing but this purpose, then it's really only on you.

    I'm guessing this is sort of a publicity thing by Nexon? I wonder if it'll work lol.

    Also, I hit share but didn't confirm (forgot my dern twitter password) and it still gave me the points? o_o

    I can't vouch personally for Nexon, however according to this it's impossible to track whether content has been fully shared or not due to security risks involved (unless you have full Facebook/Twitter login integration into the service).
    This may mean that it's a physical limitation of Javascript itself, not necessarily an oversight or a glitch. I wouldn't worry too much about it, and I'll see if I can let you know if I do get some kind of red flag, although if you are worried you can share the pages and keep them private to avoid clutter on your walls.

    I guess too many people answered "no way in hell" to their "would you recommend this game to a friend?", so they're trying to bribe us to spam their ads.
    Even if I had facebook or twitter, I would not subject my friends or followers to 16 bleeping links to V publicity pages.
    (And if I make a throwaway account that has no friends or followers, how is that any better for Nexon than me just closing the "share" window without confirming?)

    Why would you, personally, get a red flag about things happening on Nexon's website?

    Yeah I can't see my points.

    Tried restarting browser, incognito, different profile, disabling adblock. Nothing.
