As of March 25, 2021, verification seems to still be required for new/yet unverified accounts.
As of today (March 3, 2020), this is NO LONGER REQUIRED. Please visit us in Discord to ask if you are unsure. -Whitney discord.gg/v5tc66Z
In April 2019, Tencent implemented a new ID verification system for players, which requires the user to provide their Chinese Resident ID number and name. When you attempt to launch the game, you will be greeted with a window that looks like this:
Please keep in mind that your account will be locked out if you fail to link a CN ID after 5 attempts. I have not heard of any success with the online ID generators, so if you choose to go that route, proceed wisely.
All in all, not a great situation to be in, but there's not much that can be done at the moment.
Personally, I won't be playing until I can get a CN ID to use... though who knows how long that will be. Not comfortable with giving Tencent my passport. I'll still be keeping up with general MBO news though!pls just release an NA/EU server thx bai

Clicking the yellow button will lead you to Tencent's ID verification site (will either be a webpage or a popup in WeGame).
For foreign players (like myself), this means that you have two options:
- Find someone willing to let you use their ID info. 1 Chinese ID can be linked to 5 QQ accounts, after which it will count as a failed attempt.
- Reach out to Tencent Customer Service and say you are a foreigner who wants to play the game. They will then ask you to send photos of your passport and you holding your passport as proof that you are a foreigner. You will need a QR code scanner to get the link for updates on your case (not 100% sure if it only works through WeChat but that's what I used).
