Account Creation: You’ll need your valid KSSN with linked name (child accounts require two, one extra for the parent), and possibly a Korean cellphone or similar to confirm registration – KSSN generators will not work. You can either create a Nexon account, which lets you play all the Nexon games but you have to make an extra click to log into DnF, or you can just create a pure DnF account. Both registration interfaces changes often. If you create a Nexon account you need to do a special extra confirmation extra process to link with and play DnF using a Korean cellphone or similar. Earlier account creation was much more lax, especially pre-Nexon. Around 4/26/2012 the account process was simplified greatly and the confirmation process removed for Nexon accounts (confirmation process reinstated on 7/12/2012) (if you absolutely need pictures, go here):
Step 1: Create an account with a email (this is your username now, not the nickname), nickname, password, and birth date.
Beforehand you’ll need to agree to bunch of privacy stuff. The last checkbox is optional and is for 3rd party sharing.
Afterwards you’ll need to confirm the email by, you know, checking your email.
The checkbox near the email is purely if you want to receive spam from them, it’s not required.
Step 2: Go to the DnF site. You’ll see 2 buttons on the right side. The top is to log out of the Nexon account, the bottom near the red text is to link it with the Nexon account which itself requires the Nexon account to be verified (which can be done via a popup from the button near the red text). To verify the Nexon account enter a real name and linked KSSN. Foreign #s work as well now too.
Step 3: Verify it with DnF through the bottom button near the red text. Agree to the various terms and conditions, then enter the email, name, and KSSN again.
The last part of the terms and conditions is optional privacy stuff, but it does warn that some services may not be available. Agreeing recommended.
You can play DnF now. Don’t forget to put OTP on that thing so it doesn’t get hacked. Also, remember OTP+Goblin Pad/Security Card is required for account restoration.
If you are really new, read the info from the hierarchical menus that come when you mouse over Dungeon & Fighter at the top of this site.
There’s been some comments that the account may be deleted in 2 weeks without confirming via phone/fax/mail. No one here noticed it despite reading the pages upon pages of privacy legalese.
You can have up to 3 emails registered to each Nexon KSSN, but channeling/linking it to DnF is restricted to once a week.
Age differences: In DnF Accounts function differently depending on the user’s age. DnF sorts accounts into 3 age groups – 12, 15, and 18+. Under 18 accounts have changed sprites for risque avatars/weapons, blood (generally orange for younger accounts), mob deaths et al.. On younger accounts when a mob is destroyed it simply turns black and fades out, older ones they explode into bloody bits. Younger accounts also cash shop restrictions: Limited to 0-55k Cera a month (the normal limit for adults is 300k a month). Note that in-game Cera gifting is not counted toward this amount, adults are limited to 10 gift cards per month (unknown of restrictions on 12/15 accounts).
In the past about half the channels, adult channels, were off-limits to child accounts and profane language in public (and perhaps to extent still in the present on any channel) on child channels earned you a ban (the interface was similar to the west-NA/east-Oceania interface in DFO; the left tab is for children, right for adults).Accounts under age 15 cannot engage in town fights (Fight System) in any fashion and cannot play between 0:00-5:99.
Countries blocked: None; only weak anonymous open proxies (elite varieties work fine).
DirectX: Using another full-screen program while DnF is running will cause DnF to have a black screen as it does not properly restore the DirectX video context that 95% of games do.
Error when launching, often mentioning ActiveX: Currently, Neople requires you use the NowCom installer to initially install the game. Go here and click on the “GAME DOWNLOAD” at the bottom of the page. It will install a bunch of ActiveX controls before starting up. Otherwise, it is ActiveX related. Longer guide:
Uninstall AhnLab and Flash Player from the control panel (all entries of them), as well as any anti-virus, anti-spyware and related that have an active component (like McAfee, Norton), firewalls etc.. Uninstall DnF as well (you may want to try the steps without this part first due to download times).
Restart. Don’t run anything else when doing the following; you may need to restart into Safe Mode if you have troublesome programs lurking.
Download HiJackThis (just the executable is fine), and CCleaner. Install both.
Close everything.
Run HiJackThis and either of the “System Scan” options (the first two). You might be faced with some warnings/errors; ignore these. You’ll see some entries like “DPF: {XXX} (NAME)”. Check the entries for “(Aosmgr Control)”, ones with links to “siren24.com”, “(DownStarter2 Control)”, all instances of “(CNeopleInstallXXXXXXXXX)”, anything from adobe.com if there is some laying out unless you have a adobe program that uses it, and “(KvpIspCtlID Control)”. Click “Fix checked”, press yes. This should nuke them.
Run CCleaner. First go to the “Cleaner” tab (should be there by default), make sure everything under “Internet Explorer” and “Windows Explorer” and “System” is checked. Click “Run Cleaner”. Now, go to “Registry”, check everything. Click “Scan For Issues”, make sure everything is checked, and click “Fix selected issues…” and delete/fix whatever popups come up. If you restarted in Safe Mode, you’ll need to restart again.
Go re-install flash player from Adobe – Adobe Flash Player
Now, make sure your locale is set to Korean, you have the trusted sites set up, you have UAC disabled, and the windows anti-spyware and firewall disabled.
Go to the d-fighter.com site. Let AhnLab install and make sure to stay on the static intro page, not the big homepage.
Maintenance (First Server has its own): Standard downtime is 4-6 hours at 6AM Thursday KST accompanied by a patch with various changes. A static page with the latest “big patch video” and a couple mini-games is shown during maintenance along with D&F Week, 5 select D&F News entries. Big patches can be downloaded mid-maintenance.
Background images: Routine, Not Routine, Emergency.
Launching: To download the initial client files download them from the client download page. After which click the “Game Start” button to launch the patcher which itself launches the game when done. Note that patcher itself can sometimes do the download for the initial client files – it changes occasionally.
Various online games and otherwise, including DnF as well as DFO and likely other DnF localizations, use CDNetworks (CDN) server clusters for their main servers. When you click “Game Start” the website gives you a random server in the CDN server, or in a rare case a backup server, then tries to download a file called package.lst in the base directory (in DnF’s case the file is ~154k). CDN servers use a prioritization method called load balancing. They are supposed to give you the closest server to your location that has the least amount of users and filter you down in the case of extreme loads to give everyone an equal speed. However, this can bug out, especially in the case of overseas users and filter down to ~40kb even with no real load… especially in DnF’s case. There are also backup servers that DnF uses that don’t load balance and these will be the fast ones if the CDN ones are bugging out. Adding to this is the fact that the patcher (for several DnF localizations) for some unknown reason tries to download package.lst in 8k increments while also blocking the main GUI thread. Modern operating systems don’t really like this style of data transfer. Some people use South Korean proxies in DnF to avoid the problems with the CDN load balancing. However, the ISPs crack down on them constantly and they tend to go away when overloaded. People tend to use proxies to gain faster speeds, however Neople states outright that you could be banned for using a 3rd party proxy program and dislikes proxies in general.
The patcher itself uses Internet Explorer proxy settings, not those of the browser that launches the game from the website. Thus, it is more secure to use an alternate browser with a direct connection and have Internet Explorer with a Korean proxy if you want to use a proxy.
Chrome and Firefox require a separate plugin to launch the game (from the client download page; it also sporadically works with Opera and other Firefox compatible browsers). Note that the download from the client page is not the full plugin, it is a essentially a patcher program that downloads the real plugin, so you’ll have to deal with the DnF patcher servers and related (the progress bar of the program will halt for a while it downloads the plugin).

Website: There are two main web pages, the “intro page” and the “main page”. Where any link takes you varies. When the web server is overloaded you will be taken to the intro page. The intro page is a static page with an image representing the latest big patch or Act in the background, an image representing the latest event as well as a line of text for the latest notice in the middle of the page, and the login interface at the bottom. Clicking either the D&F logo at the top of the page or the button in the lower-left corner will take you to the main page. Bottom right is where you login. Top of the leftmost text is for D&F accounts, bottom for Nexon. “ID” and “PW” text entry fields function as you’d expect. The checkbox is if you are behind a firewall or related. The text to the right of the checkbox will take you to the account creation page, and the “ID” and “PW” buttons below that are if you forgot either. Once you log in, you’ll see your main character (or none), with how much Cera below that and a button for adding some to right; on the right the top button will take you to your account info page, and the button will log you out. The “GAME START” image to the left of the login interface starts the game/patcher as expected; you’ll need to refresh the page to launch the patcher again if it fails or otherwise. The main page is quite the beast, meant to be a browser homepage portal.
First, let’s talk about the “D&F News” portion right below the flash animation at the top of the page. You’ll notice 공지사항, 엄데이트, and 이벤트 with separators between them. These list Notices, Updates, and Events respectively with Notices being the default (before 12/1/2011 they were all in one list sorted by color: blue for notice, red for updates, and orange-yellow for events). Below this is the 7 most recent entries in those categories. To the right is a slideshow of current events and related. Clicking on it will take you to the respective page, and clicking one of the white dots below (red is the active one) this will stop the slideshow at that particular image.
Now, the left panel; at the top is three links left to right taking you to a list of all (in order), notices, updates, and events. After that is the “Media” section; DnF has it’s own radio about every day in game, an online magazine with various periodicals and comics etc., and links to wallpapers and past videos and such. The next one is the “Game Guide” which is rather extensive; there is also an online item dictionary with an interface similar to the auction house (middle-right text). “Community” is where the forums and such are, but more important the list of builds people post and comment on (many are experimental, obviously) along with the online skill planner (lower-left text); how you access the planner is by clicking the button below all the recent builds, which will bring up a list of the main classes which you click to take yourself to that classes’ planner. “Server” is server rankings; “길드” means guild and takes you to the guild searcher, and the lowest-right link takes you to village invasion standings and when it will next be held.
At the right of the page is a similar login interface, except there is a flash animation “Game Start” and under it some small text that links to an “installation helper”. Below the username/password is the old Hangame account upgrade like the intro page; below this is the returning player system, and below that is the text box for searching the armory. Below armory box is a flash animation with the massive list of ways you can earn Cera (DnF NX) in Korea (sometimes including even Burger King and Subway). Below that is a button with some text that takes you to the server transfer interface (25k Cera per char, ~1k less per extra char).
The middle of the page is general game-related news. Bottom middle lists the top 3 blogs of the day represented with images. The first is sometimes the newest official magazine article/comic instead of a blog. In the same space and below the images is the periodically updated most recent candidates. Below this is the daily user poll, which Neople/Nexon KR often makes changes based off of.
Soundtracks
