Could use some help here

[Legacy_Mr Fun 01]

               A new friend was talking about playing NWN and has asked me to come play with him. So I pulled out my disks with expansion and whatnot, but the main disk is cracked in the center area, I remember there being an issue with this way back. So I was looking for support but I can't seem to find any. I remember that at one time your login would show the games that you owned on here but none of my common logins seem to be working  and upon creation they obviously don't have the games registered to any of the accounts.
Is there some way to get in touch with suppot for NWN? I can not seem to find anything.

               You could maybe contact Atari but as you can find the game for 10$ at GOG.com there almost is no meaning....

               I used to store my CD-keys in the old nwn webpage under my profile and installed the game from downloaded CD:s.

As long as your cdkey is legit (and you've bought it yourself) I see no harm in not having a legit cd in your disposal.

               Do you happen to have a link to the old webpage? That is where I used to have my keys too!

I don't get why this is such an issue for so many. Do most people throw out their games/manual etc??

I still have my Original NWN package even though, I have Diamonds and that is what is installed, so not only do I have my Diamond keys, but I have my original manual/key as well. If it is a Game, I like, why would I get rid of this stuff??

The old site is dead, Period.  There is no way to "find" your keys registered online anywhere.

The best you can try to do is contact Atari (good luck) or EA (will need even better luck there).  BIoware no longer exists as a separate entity, and no longer provides support for NWN at all.  Evertyhing Bioware related is redirected to EA, including any links that used to point to Bioware support.

Same here.  I protect all installation keys as if they were the product itself.  I mean, what bleedin' use is a disc if you can't install the software off them?  (I hear they make a decent coaster, though '>.)

The only key-related incident I experienced was with one game that pasted the codes on a label on the jewel case with the wrapper over it.. After handling the non-virgin case a few times, the code ink got smudged so bad  that I had to return the case with code to obtain new codes... an isolated case where the vendor supported my problem... another ancient, re-released game (...during shipment, the new case with new code got smashed but at least I could read the codes on the label).  But I digress...

The ironic thing is with this whole issue is that the so-called sacred Bioware "registering" never algorithm-checked whether what was typed by the member was valid or not.  So today, years later, if it was retrieved and had a typo, the registrant still couldn't install the game.

*sigh*

               I purchased the game via pre-order in my local game shop here. IF I had the books and CDs anywhere around from back then, they would turning to dust sometime soon. I'm not a freak that plastic bags every game I buy. If these is no way to find my **** online anymore it's not a big issue. It's just ****ty that because I trusted the company to have the **** I registered my account with to be around... I lost my CD Keys. It was a poor investment apparently.

Sorry to hear about your keys, but that had me laughing. I can count the number of games I've installed on my PC on my fingers, so maybe I'm not the typical NWN player. But, I do put some effort in keeping my keys and such together. I usually email them to myself and write them on the disks with a felt-tip pen so that I never have an install disk that I can't use to install. I never thought I was a freak about it.

It was a poor investment apparently.

Even if I lost my keys today and had to buy the game all over again, I would still easily have gotten way more than my money's worth out of it. Between Freedom Force and NWN, when it comes to software costs, I am pretty sure my gaming expense is mere pennies per hour.
