The Tongue of Elrios
Header

Hello NEXON users,

Since the regulation on using resident registration numbers (KSSN) has been taking effect since August 18th, we are giving you a notice about ‘Regulation on collecting and using resident registration numbers’ in advance.

According to this regulation, resident registration numbers now cannot be used or collected except for the following cases:

  1. If it is a listed identification institution.
  2. When it is permitted by legislation.
  3. When it is unavoidable to provide a network service without collecting or using it and when it is officially notified by the KCC (Korea Communications Commission).

With this, for 6 months of guidance period, under a procedure that identification is compelled, NEXON KOREA will regulate using and collecting resident registration numbers and we will do our best to provide another safe way to identify by using I-PIN (Internet Personal Identification Number).

When collecting resident registration number ceases, you can no longer identify yourself with it. So we urge you to take notice of this notification so that you will not have any problems using our services.

Thank you.

In an unorthodox move, we have decided on two separate winners, one for the Banner and one for the Logo. Each winner will receive 25m, payable by LuzCeleste (for the winners, please make arrangements to catch her in-game ASAP! She will be in contact with you soon.)

Without further ado, here are our winners!

LOGO by Sylence

Our team really enjoyed the classic feel of this logo. Very comic-like to reflect the origins of Elsword, and done in the traditional colors of Elsword – good job to Sylence!

 

BANNER by Sennyu:

Our team loved the black-tie spy theme of this banner! The Babel team only wishes they could be as cutting-edge and cool as Elsword, Eve and Aisha in this banner.

 

Finally, an honorable mention. While TrickArt won’t be receiving any prize, I wanted to showcase the amazing submission we got!

Banner/Logo by TrickArt:

We were impressed by how well the colors and lightning blended, as well as the art style of the stock images. That’s some skillful blending there! (I laughed at the logo too)

 

We were also impressed by the logo that Sennyu sent in, but it unfortunately didn’t make the final cut:

But still, so cute!

 

Thank you to all of the entrants. We were really stunned by the high quality of the submissions we got this time around. Congratulations to the winners, as well!

 

Conspire

 

 

 

Thank you for all of your submissions to the Banner and Logo Contest! We are currently deliberating on the results, and will announce a winner this weekend!

Thanks to our donators, we are now up on the new server, huzzah!

However, our chief Korean translator, Roo, is currently recovering from LASIK Surgery, which limits our ability to translate from KR to English.  We may be able to push out a few updates, but they will be considerably slower than usual. Thank you for your understanding, and we all wish Roo a fast recovery!

 

Thank you for all of your support up to date! Babel has proven to be immensely popular, amassing viewcounts far beyond our initial expectations. We are thrilled at this, and we hope to continue to offer you our valuable services in the future.

However, thanks to the growing popularity of Babel – and the sustained popularity of ElWiki – we now need your help in keeping our servers up. Currently, our site owner, Kenny, pays for the majority of the hosting on a monthly basis for ElWiki and Babel, out of his own paycheque. Unfortunately, since Babel has been such a resounding success, we are desperately in need of a server upgrade. If you have noticed the server has been constantly crashing at times, and this is due to the bandwidth problems that we have been having from the increased load of viewers.

Furthermore, Babel is trying to expand, which is currently not possible under the current c0nstraints. We want to begin to offer the following services, but we cannot until we upgrade to a bigger server:

  • Translation Ticketing System – Send in your KR screenshots and get them translated within 24 hours!
  • Talk to the Pros Ticketing System – We will recruit one KR pro of each character to field your questions within 48 hours!
  • Upgrade of Babel to an English/Korean/Chinese website
  • More comics – in particular, we hope to translate all of Evil00000’s comics!
  • More guides from the top players in KR
  • A more professional and refined looking theme!

Thus, I hope you can support us in our endeavors. If you’ve enjoyed the Wiki and Babel up to this point, please support us so we can keep it going, and so we can continue to provide you with the updates that you need!

To donate, simply click on the pledgie badge linked in this post. Our goal is $100, which will pay for the server – any excess will be used to buy the translators a nice gift, as they often work overtime. For instance – to translate the Event Page yesterday so everyone playing KR would be aware of the free +8 Scroll, 2na called in to be 30 minutes late to work!

Hi all,

I’m writing to inform you that Elsword KR recently just sent out an email regarding a new regulation pertaining their KSSNs – all accounts under the age of 14 will need to reconfirm their KSSN and emails shortly.

At the moment, we’re still translating the necessary documents, so stand by for more information!
