NCsoft SMS Verification

Signing up with the studio behind Lineage and Aion? Pass the NCsoft SMS verification step with a virtual number and keep your personal line off your game account.

NCsoft is a South Korean game company founded in 1997 by Kim Taek-jin and based in Pangyo, Seongnam; in April 2026 it shortened its name to NC. It is known for the Lineage, Aion, Blade & Soul and Guild Wars series. The NC account system and its PURPLE platform ask for phone or device verification in many regions to curb bot accounts, gold sellers and account theft.

A one-time code is sent to the number you enter at sign-up or first login, and a virtual number can be used to receive it. That is handy for players whose own country's numbers run into trouble with the verification system, or who would rather not tie a personal line to a game account. A game's regional rules still apply, though: using a number to reach a region where the service is closed may breach the terms.

Your number may be used again for recovery and security checks on an NC account, so a short-lived one can make it harder to get back in later. Landlines and most VoIP numbers may be rejected, and if a code is slow, wait a few minutes before requesting another. Use a strong password and any extra OTP protection on offer; multi-account abuse against the rules can lead to sanctions.
