Metin2 age verification: what the November 2026 requirement covers, who it affects, and the email check to do this week
Gameforge has announced that age verification for Metin2 becomes a requirement, driven by upcoming legal requirements in Turkey. The announcement says verification is expected to start from the beginning of November 2026, and it affects all players in Turkey as well as players who play on Turkish servers. This post lays out what is confirmed, what is still open, and the one thing you can do now.
Quick summary
The announcement is short and deliberately so. It states the legal trigger (upcoming requirements in Turkey), the scope (players in Turkey and players on Turkish servers), the expected start (the beginning of November 2026) and one preparation step for players. Everything else is explicitly deferred.
The exact dates have not been published. The verification process itself has not been published. The full list of affected accounts has not been published. Gameforge says a more detailed post covering the process and the affected accounts will appear during the course of October 2026, and points players to the news page and the Metin2 forums.
The email address matters
The one action available now is checking your Gameforge account email address, because the registered address will be required during verification. Gameforge warns that if you no longer have access to the registered address, you should change it now, since failing to do so could temporarily affect your access to the game.
The steps Gameforge publishes are:
What this is not
It is not a ban wave and not a deletion of accounts. It is an access requirement tied to a legal obligation, which means it is something you can prepare for. The scope is narrower than "every Metin2 player" too: players in Turkey and players on Turkish servers. If you play on a server outside that scope, the announcement does not say you are affected, and the detailed post should settle it.

What to watch for
- A detailed post during October 2026 with the process, the exact dates and the affected account list.
- Confirmation of whether the requirement extends beyond the Turkish scope.
- Whether the email address needs to be confirmed before a hard deadline, or whether there is a grace period after verification opens.
