You need the Korean equivalent of a social security number (KSSN). Which you can't get unless you're a Korean citizen. Sorry.

Also, if you can't speak / read Korean, why do you want to play on the Korean servers?

The "being a Korean citizen" isn't really precise; foreign residents in Korea can also set up an account (I know, I am one).

Regarding using the English client, you can change the locale in the configuration files but it comes with a huge drawback: Korean characters dissappear in chat and player names. You therefore have no idea what people are saying and this is a bit detrimental in a communication-based game. I think I recall a hack involving changing the font files, but the nameplates still can't be changed using this method.

All around, it's better to use the Korean language client and to start learning some Korean. :p

(It's actually easier than it sounds at least for LoL; once you learn the writing you'll notice they use a lot of bastardized English terms. Though it's sad that my main way of learning Korean is through the swear words they use in chat. T_T)

Yeah add me on Skype or Facebook: http:/Facebook.com/nick.decesare.7

I'll get one of the MVP players to make one for you.

Or if slopes easier: iajtls


I also have a lot of level 30 and near-30's I can lend out, but not give away.

why change language, the only thing you need to read during a game is the chat.

Hey new member here, sorry for bumping an old thread but I am a student at Duke in the US and I just got to Korea for a study abroad program. Trying to play league on my NA account sucks because of the ping. I downloaded the Korean client but I am having trouble making an account. I don't have a KSSN and none of my friends that I have met will let me use theirs (people I just met since arriving). I was wondering if anyone here could help me with creating an account or if they had any level 1 accounts they weren't using that maybe I could use. I love league and I will be here for another 6 months and would really like to be able to play with a decent ping. Thanks ahead of time for the help!
P.S. My korean is ok, getting better, def good enough to communicate in public and in game

Been working on that, most of the students ive asked either wouldnt give me their info or wanted me to pay for one. Was hoping I could find a solution withoit having to pay but if I don't find one then I may just have to buy one from someone as a last resort but then I run into the whole trust issue of if they wil actually come through or not. Ive already been swindled a few times buying stuff at the market in town so im kind of wary. Thanks for the advice though but I think I will hold out a little longer to see if someone on here can help me out

So you are an exchange student in Korea? Then you should have an alien registration card. You can use this one to make an account for LoL.

Yeah, I have an ARC but that is not an option for signing up. I get to the stage where it wants to verify my identity. I enter my name, date of birth, korean cell number (SKT) and it still asks for a KSSN. I do not see the option to use my ARC anywhere. I am simply looking for a low level account that is already made so I can just play. Im only gonna be here for one semester so its almost not worth the hassle. Just tired of the ping trying to play on NA. Thanks for your help though.

the ARC number is your KSSN. If it doesnt work you need to create an ipin and register with your ipin.
