If you know someone who might try NWN but doesn't want to pay for it...

               Bravo! I hope you get your takers. Re. the missing picture. I can't see it in opera but can in firefox and I can't be bothered to check with ie and I loathe with a passion chrome so won't be checking with it either. Odd thing is that if you hover the mouse pointer over it with either browser it changes to the hand and according to information at the bottom of the screen there is a clickable link there that just goes to the picture. Oh and it is silent in both browsers even though the link says something about a soundtrack.

               Oddly, I can see the pictures just fine in Opera, so i might be something else causing the issues as opposed to browser specific.

 On the topic, though, that's quite generous of you to offer that.  Does GoG allow you to buy it on sale and gift it through their service later on?

Hmm.  Weird.  Updated where the image is being hosted from (was linking from NWVault, uploaded it to Photobucket and linking to there now).

Probably, wish I knew what, though.

Not as far as I know.  I could theoretically set up 10 new email accounts and email the games to those, then give those email accounts to people interested - but that seems like far more of a hassle than it would be worth.

               Now you've changed the hosting for the picture I can see it fine in opera.

               My friend is emailing you asap '>

Edit: Is it alright if I email you too? I no longer own a copy of NWN myself anymore. I installed using some else's copy but i can't play with him because we have the same cd key.

               ugh, I suppose he's going to miss out. On facebook he said he's too busy.

               That's very generous of you '>

Just want to add that since the Master Server has been dead for ages, NWN is a de facto Free to Play game. Why? The Master Server checks if your CD Keys are legit. No Master Server, no CD Key check.

So all you need is to find any old key that will let you install the game. If I said how I'd be breaking forum rules, but Google should be able to help '>

               Except I don't approve of piracy.

               The game is abandonware at this point. It may be infringing on copyright but the chances of that being enforced, as well as the chances of any money spent on NWN1 being invested back into the game or into making a worthy sequel are both close to zero.

               NWN is NOT abandonware. What you are talking about is Piracy. Atari is still selling the product and just because the DRM has been disabled this does not give you license to steal it.

Aelis you need to read this site's TOS. You have already violated it sufficiently to bring down the ban-hammer. Do not endorse, admit to, or even honestly discuss piracy on this site. The moderators don't take this rule lightly.

MM... THANKS! The efforts of peeps like you is what keeps this community strong.

To clarify, I am not explicitly advocating piracy. I am merely saying that alternative sources of keys could be available on the internet, including but not limited to second hand keys. If you wish to construe that as piracy, please go ahead and report that to a mod.
