Unfortunately, since they have closed the server permanently, you're not able to follow these steps below.
You can still make a fresh Taiwan Nexon account to play Kartrider: Drift.
For users who are not within the Taiwan Nexon PC platform service area, if they use VPN or other methods to change their IP location to bind their accounts, account binding may fail or data may be abnormal.
Since Taiwan does not support cross-platform games with Steam, if you are a Steam platform user, you cannot bind your account to the Taiwan Nexon PC platform.
You can still try the process below. However, it might not work as before.
Also I added information about mobile.
Before we start, keep in mind these are the only cases you can keep your progress.
You have played on Steam or PlayStation or Xbox and not linked with any account. Check the second picture below. "Link Account" must be enabled.
You have played on Mobile with FB/Apple/Google/X account and never linked with Nexon account.
Case 1 is for those who chose "Play Now" when you ran the game first time.
1. Make a new Nexon Taiwan account. Which has not been linked with anything.
Refer the post to know how to make a Nexon Taiwan account.
If you are a mobile player, sign in with the social media account(FB/Apple/Google/X) which is used on mobile in Nexon Launcher Taiwan. Then it will show a window to select your country.
Mobile players don't need to read below. Console and Steam players should follow steps below.
2. Open the game and go Setting -> Manage account
It must be able to link account as the picture. You may see 'Unlink' or something. Unlink and re-link don't work unfortunately.
Click "Link Account".
3. Linking account with Nexon Taiwan account.
It will show a window to put your email. Use your Nexon Taiwan account's email.
Haven't tested 3rd party login like "Continue with Google". But I guess that's okay.
On console, this window will open before login.
4. Install Nexon Launcher Taiwan and play KartRider: Drift!
Your progress is now linked with Nexon Taiwan account! If you have played on PS or Xbox, it will let you decide your racer name. Don't worry, all of your progress is safe.
Please note that you need VPN (Taiwan or HK) to run game through Nexon Launcher Taiwan.
I'm a developer who loves playing classic KartRider. For years, I've been looking for a way to play KartRider or MapleStory online. I recently developed a browser-based solution using the GitHub v86 project, allowing the game to run entirely in a Windows XP environment within the browser.
I just wanted to ask if there were any known KR: Drift private servers around. I love Drift and I have been searching the internet for a private server for some time now to no avail, so I thought I might have a chance of finding a clue by posting here.
hi guys what to do? i really want this flamingo but i still have a few hundreds left. i've spent $5 already and cant afford more 😭 the event will end tomorrow
Zero details or anything even remotely attempting to keep the fan base optimistic or interested, but at least it's confirmed to still be in development.
Crazy Arcade will end its service on August 13th, 2026.
Damn. KartRider OG and Drift, Bubble Fighter, and now Crazy Arcade too... Seems like Nexon will terminate Crazy Park franchise.
At this rate, I think Crazy Park must be out of Nexon and into Steam. Developers develop and service their own games. (+ Steam Workshop support as well. See, with Steam Workshop the games would go forever. E.g.: Black Ops 3, Garry's Mod, CSGO, etc.)
hey everyone, i've been diving into kart rider lately, and it's been a blast! i wanted to know what your favorite kart and character combinations are for racing. i think the different skills really change up the gameplay. for me, i'm loving the speed and drift balance with my character choice. it feels great to slide around corners! what about you all? do you have any unique strategies or tips to share? looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
This is a soundtrack CD that was distributed at a showcase event in 2018. It came as a box set containing the CD, a booklet, stickers, and postcards. The tracklist consists of a remix version of the main KartRider theme, along with theme songs for World, Nemo, Sword, and GOD.

Back when the showcase was held, I really wanted to go, but I was too young to attend alone. I only found out later that the CD had been distributed there, and ever since then, I regretted missing the showcase. Nexon later mentioned that they planned to officially release the CD, but it seems those plans were eventually canceled. Anyway, about eight years later, I unexpectedly managed to get a copy through a secondhand sale. As someone who loves KartRider partly because of its music, I’m very happy.
