Well, at least WoG ported over all the ECB builds for players to use.

The ECB guild fora have been backed up in their entirety
(probably but for the last 2 builds posted by yours truly) although what
is currently available on the WoG site is not the last updated version.

EA is lame.

Definetely.

So does this also mean there is no way to register your CD keys?  What about setting up an account for multiplayer gaming?

IIRC the procedure of typing in your CD keys on the legacy site was just an exercise in your own personal security keeping.  Should you later on forget your keys, Bioware would have emailed them to you.  Also, there was no authentication during the process, so if you had typed them in wrong, those bad entries are the ones which would have been retained and furnished.  What is most important is that the codes are listed properly in the ini.

AFAIK the keys are only authenticated (other than during game installation) when/if a Gamespy server checks it, though I may be wrong about that.  For playing LAN, they are used to keep the players distinguishable possibly. We played for years on our own network before ever even finding out about the Bioware site and officially "registering" the keys/game.

               It would seem as the direct download links are still active.  

For example;

http://files.bioware...9HotUUpdate.exe

will still download the 1.69 patch. 

If we can only figure out what the linkes where for some of the other stuff?

Right now I am stuck at work and can not do much.

               So I was going to come here and post what is happeneing and what you can expect, but reading Bannor Bloodfisst post, and seeing how I am part of a terrible horrible company, I'm just going away now.

After all, that's what we do now, right?

Sure Chris, blame me for you and your companies lack of foresight.

A simple warning posted in this forum, would have PREVENTED any negative comment, I mean, surely, since you are the "god of information" you had prior warning to such a drastic move.

But, alas, you and yours proved that you don't care much, do first, warn afterwards, and blame the honest fans that have hung on so long for your lack thoughtfulness.

My comment posted earlier in the thread, takes no issue with Bioware, nor you, only with the conglomerate that doesn't care for it's fan base.  Your response, singling me out, puts even more emphasis on how little you and yours care for those that helped to make you and your business what you are.

You have personally attacked me in the past as well.  Why?  Is my forthright honesty too much for you, or does it hit just a little too close to home?

               C'mon, you can't be the real Chris Priestley, you must be one of dem "token names in a big conglomerate" or whatsitcalled! The real Chris Priestley is an awe-inspiring warrior and one of the NWN communities' idols - surely you don't expect us to believe that he would let one angry dwarf stop him from what he was going to do, when so much is at stake?

You work for a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, so, yes, actually, you are.

Boy talk a bout a slap in the face. You have issue with a post from a few people and decide to stick it to everyone? That's not like you, Chris, and I'm very disappointed.

Yeah. I realize this is meant to be an informal environment, but this kind of unprofessionalism makes me a little embarassed to be a huge Bioware fanboy.

I'm still a huge Bioware fanboy though.

               Wow... the documentation on the file formats was also used by KotOR1/2 and Jade Empire modders. It was also quite useful for NWN2, Dragon Age, TW1 and the like.

Also Chris P's comment isn't really the nicest way to treat someone who made a significant contribution of bug fixes and testing for the 1.69 patch for free is it? '>

I for one would really appreciate knowing what is happening and what I can expect.  If there is some kind of personal beef standing in the way of that, I would ask that it please be put aside.

Thank you.
