Account Security on Metin2 Pvp Servers: 10 Golden Rules

One careless click is all it takes to lose a character you've spent months building. On Metin2 Pvp servers, attempts to steal accounts usually start with a fake link, a stranger who "wants to help" or an unknown file. With the 10 rules in this guide, you can tighten your Metin2 account security and protect your character and items.

Password and email: lay a solid foundation

1. Use a different, strong password on every server

Pvp servers are run by different teams, and each has its own level of security. If one server's database is compromised, every account where you used the same password is at risk. Choose long passwords with letters, numbers and symbols; if they're hard to remember, use a trusted password manager.

2. Lock down your email account

Password reset links go to your email; whoever loses their email loses their game account too. Turn on two-step verification for your email account and never use the same password as for your game.

3. Don't underestimate the storeroom password and extra security codes

In the official game, the storeroom you rent from the Storekeeper is protected by a separate password. If your server has such a password too, set one that's different from your account password and hard to guess. If the server asks for an extra security code at registration, such as a character deletion code, note it down somewhere safe and never share it.

Links and files

4. Only enter your login details on the official website and client

Fake sites use addresses that differ from the real ones by just a few letters. Bookmark the server's website and always go there through your bookmark. Voting pages, giveaway forms and "gift" pages never ask for your game password, and the Metin2PvpServarlar.com voting page doesn't either. We explain the right way to vote in our voting guide. If you see a page imitating our site, report it to us through the contact page.

5. Only download the client and updates from the official source

Files sent to you in Discord DMs as a "new version", "boosted client" or "patch" can hide programs that steal your login details. Only get the client from the server's own official website, and updates from the client's own updater.

6. Stay away from "cheat" and "free item" files

Files handed out with the promise of a cheat program or free items are a common trap for stealing your account details and the other passwords on your computer. On top of that, using cheats can get you permanently banned from the server.

People and trading

7. Never give your password to anyone, not even staff

A real game master (GM) doesn't need your password to do their job. Treat anyone who claims to be staff and asks for your password, a verification code or access to your email as a scammer, and report it to the team through the official channel.

8. Don't share your account

A friend who says "I'll level for you while you're away", your guild leader or a stranger offering a leveling service: whoever you give your account to, you lose control over it. Account sharing may also be against the server's rules, and any penalty is applied to your account.

9. Don't rush trades, and don't deal outside the game

Before confirming in the trade window, check the item, its upgrade level and the amount one by one. Don't buy or sell items or accounts for real money; a player scammed in such a deal has no protection to fall back on, and it's against the rules on many servers.

Your computer and your Discord account

10. Keep your device and Discord account safe

Keep Windows and your browser up to date and leave your antivirus on. Turn on two-step verification for your Discord account, and don't click links in private messages that say "free gift", "vote and win" or "your account will be closed". Hijacked Discord accounts are used to send the same trap to everyone on the friends list.

What should you do if your account is stolen?

1. Change your passwords: If you can still log in, change your game and email passwords right away.
2. Break the chain: Also change the passwords of other accounts where you used the same password.
3. Tell the team: Write to the server's official support channel with your character name, when you noticed it and which items are missing; attach screenshots if you have any.
4. Scan your computer: Run a full scan with an up-to-date antivirus. If your account was stolen because of a malicious file, new passwords you set before cleaning your computer can be stolen too.
5. Wait for the outcome: Whether your losses are returned depends on the team's logs and rules. The sooner you report it, the easier the investigation.

Frequently asked questions

My Metin2 account was stolen. Can I get my items back?

That depends on the server team's logs and policy. The earlier and the more detailed your report, the better the team's chances of investigating.

Why is it dangerous to use the same password on different servers?

A password leaked from one server gets tried on other servers too. If you use a different password on every server, the problem stays limited to one account.

What should I do if a GM asks for my password?

Don't give it. A real GM doesn't need your password; take a screenshot of the conversation and report it to the server's official support channel.

Do I need to enter my game password to vote?

No. The Metin2PvpServarlar.com voting page never asks for your game password; when you vote on our site, you only log in with your site account.
