A way to restore old NWN server listing
-
In case noone came across this, there is a way to make NWN list servers like it used to when gamespy was working.
1. You need to download the files from here and unzip them in the main NWN folder http://www.neverwinternights.info/nwncx.htm specifically
NWNCX - Neverwinter Nights Client Extender.2. Then modify your C:Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts so that it includes the following two lines (detailed instructions here http://www.neverwinternights.info/builders_hosts.htm)
199.193.152.27 nwmaster.bioware.com # SkywingL's substitute listing server
198.23.165.35 nwn.master.gamespy.com # Visavent's gamespy replacement3.Go to your main NWN folder and run NWNCX_Loader.exe. Running the vanilla nwnmain.exe wont do the trick.
4. Enjoy the good old server listings, CoA is on PW Story as it used to!
BTW modifying the hosts file might not be a good idea (especially on servers etc.) if you don't know what you re doing so do it on your own responsibility.

You can find more detailed info on how to change your hosts file with confidence Here on another thread about the Master Server.

Access is Denied for me on step 2

I suppose you need administrator rights to edit the hosts file, so you need to right click it and choose open as administrator.
