For some reason every time i try to go to the NCsoft website it just keeps saying that i dont have secure access. Can to CoH dev talk to them and let me into the site ?

That sounds like a probem at your end rather than a website problem. Which URL are you trying to use exactly?

I have chrome,firefox,and explorer. i mostly use firefox.

No, I meant are you trying to go to the main NC Soft site or a sub-component of the site:
http://us.ncsoft.com/en/

Also what sort of error are you getting? Is it a popup, a 404 error or are you getting a webpage saying "access denied"?

Third time asking... what is the Url you're using? The thing that starts http:// near the top of your browser.

Same, works here as well.

Try giving us the *exact* text that you see when you go there. Follow the link, then hit Control+A to select all the text, then Control+C to copy it to the clipboard. Then come back here and paste it into a post using Control+V.

That might give us a clue as to why you're having problems (hopefully).

Ah, there we go. That's it.

I tried out the NCSoft website on http://www.websitepulse.com/help/tes...hina-test.html and it shows that it's blocked from China.

Sorry, it's China which is blocking you, not anyone else.

Now that's interesting. You do seem to be getting through to the site, but it looks like NCSoft is doing the blocking here.

But not entirely unexpected. A lot of the RMT and similar stuff come from China.

Well interestingly based on the page you linked (I've never heard of it before, very cool though) it is accessible in SOME parts of China. Specifically if you run the test selecting Hong Kong as the location it does work.

I was originally going to check through GreatFirewallOfChina, but they've taken their test page down, so I went looking for a new one.

I got an idea, can someone email me the latest version of Freegate? I cant download it here in china but you guys can. With it i think it can fool the security to think im somewhere else.

Call me dense, but since you are posting here, I assume you have an account (trial or sub).... How did you set up your account in the first place? Did you not go through the NCSoft site to do so?... or did you purchase your account in some other manner?

Just wondering...

I'm confused. In another thread you said you just bought the game off of Steam.

If you already had an account why not simply reactivate that one. If that account was banned for some reason that might explain why you are being blocked by NCSoft.

Oh and if we were to help you circumvent their security that could get our own accounts banned.

You need to contact CS and find out why you are being blocked.

Just an FYI, you can (almost) always redownload the game from ftp://client.coh.com/US/CohUpdater.exe or from your account page on NCSoft. The CDs aren't necessary to install.

Of course, the fact that you can't get through to the NCSoft page does sorta negate that.

I'm sorry to be the one to inform you but your Master Account could very easily have been banned. The issue is explained here.

Your NCsoft Master Account: A Ticking Time Bomb?

I’ve been sitting on this article for a while now, and it seems like the best time as ever to put it forward. NCsoft is currently investigating heavy allegations of massive security holes in the master account system. As I’ve reported before, the number of stolen Guild Wars and Aion accounts has gone up dramatically in the past few months, which NC originally pointed towards a compromised fansite as the source of the theft.
Definitely the most serious, and frightening, of the allegations posted on Guild Wars Guru was that it doesn’t take any skill to hack an NCsoft master account. In fact, according to users, all it takes is spamming log in/log out, and eventually (through the process of happenstance and timing) you may find yourself logged into someone else’s account, able to change passwords, jot down personal details, and clean out accounts without ever being detected.

More after the break…

Both ArenaNet and NCsoft deny any allegations of this exploit, but security measures being put into place are raising eyebrows as to the validity of this: Recently changes have been made to the NCsoft master account page with regards to changing passwords, among other things, that were in direct response to NCsoft escalating the issue.

Even more frightening is the idea that this is not a new security issue. When I said that I’d been sitting on this article for a while now, I mean since MMO Fallout was still in conception. An important thing to remember is that the number of accounts being stolen through this method may be lower than originally thought: ArenaNet has stated that less than half of the accounts stolen were linked to an NCsoft master account.

It is probably blocked in Chine because the vast majority of RMT sites are supplied by people playing in China.

Also, just so you know, the mods can see what account your forum name is tied to. If you circumvent their security to access the site, I can pretty much guarantee that will earn your account a lifetime ban. Anyone who provides you with the information necessary to do so will probably get banned as well.
