SMF - Just Installed!
they do work. apparently the system was made fail safe. nowadays, the DRM realizes that the master servers are no longer running and lets you play.has been like this since the servers went down (which was way before this now final Gamespy shutdown)

indeed
BTW what I found out is that this premium module authentication doesnt work if you changed the hosts file to 0.0.0.0 for nwmaster.bioware.com, something to keep eye on
IIRC master server is actually running, and the only thing it now does is responding to premium module auth requests. If it goes down completely, premium modules will stop working.
now we see again that online authentification is just wrong. Plain and simple! ... i was never able to play them just because of all that,..... oh no not again it´s such an old stinky case... i just dont care anymore... '>
Will there be any workaround possible to access these games come June 30th?
I really don't want to lose these games '>
Neverwinter Nights has not used GameSpy since (I think) December 2012. We have several workarounds (direct connect (with online lists) and NWNCX). This situation WILL NOT change anything with NWN (except perhaps some old premium modules, but there's so many other modules out there to play that you'd shouldn't be sad).
Premium modules shouldn't be affected, master server is hosted by Bioware/EA and doesn't belong to GameSpy.
