CD-Key Stuff
-
Been thinking about a character lately, may show up at some point in the future, but…
I've got a new computer, and a new home which means a new IP as well. I've owned three or four copies of NWN in my time, and am not really interested in buying any more although my CD's have long since vanished with the CD-Key's.
What does one do these days about such a problem? I know GameSpy doesn't support NWN anymore, but Arabel has it's own CD-Key policing. How can I get around this when I inevitably want to play again?

You still need a valid CD key to play on CoA, there's nothing changed on that front. All we do is match CD keys to usernames since gamespy's password system went down.
-
Torrent the NWN CDs, then use your own CD Keys(I assume you kept them) and replace them in the nwncdkey.ini file
-
Wouldn't CoA know all of golw's keys then?
-
You log in with a public key, which is a mish mash of your nwn + expansion keys. So no.
-
have a bioware forum account? maybe they can get you your cd keys back.
-
If you buy on GoG, they will email you a key

Please don't post things like that around here. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be done.

So you could just tell me what my CD-Key here has been. Or at least what it most recently was. Getting NWN to work is easy, getting onto CoA with a CD-Key that isn't banned already is hard.

Golw, I can give u a cdkey im using my buddies and hes unlikely to ever use it, cause gog was slow as hell sending me mine. So I have a xtra one. Only stipulation is if I need mine back someday, ill ask for it back. Will likely never happen. When I get home ill pm you the key if thats agreeable to you

No we can't. The public CD-key isn't the CD key you need to put into the game for it to run, it's a bunch of letters FROM that key. It's impossible for server hosts to know your true CD key, because, well, how would that have gone?
"Hi, I just logged into your server"
"Thanks for your CD keys, good luck playing again."
"Shit."
So yeah, if you lose your CD key, you gotta get lovely people like Chomperchomp to give you a new key (or wait for GOG)
