I got this email message from EA regarding my old account: 

The name of your EA account has changed. Going forward, your EA account
will be called an Originâ„¢ account. Your login and password are the same,
and all EA account information is in your Origin account.

Origin
is EA's new gaming platform where you can find, purchase and download
all the best content from EA. It's your digital playground for EA games
and exclusive content.


         The Origin application is available for download at www.origin.com.
This desktop application will allow you to connect with friends, and
see what they are playing. You can also manage your games library and
digitally download and play games from EA.


So, whether or not that means they are a step closer is debatable, but at least there was _some_ notification.

Of course, no mention at all of NWN can be found anywhere on EA systems other than these current forums.

               That's EA's new authentication site which has your computer "phone home" when you are playing your game. It wouldn't work on NWN as it is an older game. It's only for EA's newer games like Sims 3 and so forth.

Again, please just stop posting. You're not helping.

Really? You think you can shush me? Do I really strike you as the kind of personality that can be shushed?

Fat friggen' chance.


Is your real name Adam, by some strange coincidence? lol.

The reality here is that the master servers have been discontinued for a game that's over 10 years old. You got more than most games ever get, yet now it's ten years later and there are people like this that post this "we're paying customers" blah blah blah.

The reality is you got MUCh more than you paid for, and now your all hurt because you can't get any answers when you know exactly what the answers are.

"This game is no longer supported".

               Well... I bought 2 copies of NWN Deluxe (1 for me and 1 for a friend) just 1 day before that the master server gone down, I've got nothing for what I've paid for '<img'>

No, the discontent is not about that, it is about the principle that they never said from the get go that the website
nor the master server were going down for good. If they'd have said that from the start, it would have been a different
story.

Now do you get it? or is that also to hard to understand for you?

Actually Leito that's not true. You can still play the game and you still have access to the multiplayer functions. Security is a much bigger issue now, but everything still works.

No. Name's not Adam. Why? Is that the name of another pisssed off customer?

Nobody is complaining that the master server is down or that the game is no longer supported. That noise is coming from fanboys trying to obfuscate the issue. What's got a significant portion of the community upset is the complete lack of communication and the broader issue of EAs crappy support for ALL it's titles, not so much NWN.

               I'd like to have the master server back, but the servers I DM for (Viking Northeast, its backup, Viking Nowhere and my own server, Melkior's Adventure Server) all have a security system similar to the one FunkySwerve posted, so security isn't much of an issue.

I believe the position stated by Lord Sullivan is correct.  Certainly for me, I want an update on exactly what's going on.  We were told something like "a month" for the server to be back up but it's been much longer with no updates.

However, I'm not going to wait and complain about the situation.  I'm just going to keep on playing and check back here every so often to see if we get an update.

I suggest that everyone decides to cope with the current situation and simply keep playing and building regardless of EA's lack of support.

I strongly suspect that the former Bioware folks are just as frustrated at not being allowed to support us (as they have done in the past) as we are at the lack of support.  Let's not give them any more grief for what I believe is not their fault.

I am absolutely positive that this is the case.

               When I bought Infinite Dungeons back in the day, I thought "What happens if Bioware goes bankrupt and closes it doors (and servers)?"

Well - Bioware is doing pretty well but has shut down Infinite Dungeons anyway. I guess that data theft incident was just a great opportunity to trash that old bugger.

It seems, unless theres a crack/hack or something, the module called "Infinte Dungeons" is a chapter for the history books which can only be observed on screenshots from now on...

I've learned my lesson. EA and Bioware don't give a **** about their legacy titles. Maybe in some years this new "Origin" system will be legcy itself and history will repeat itself...

I agree


I contradict - I tried just now: Wyvern Crown of Cormyr and Infinite Dungeons work just fine and can be authenticated / decrypted to run just like they always have.
