    If you want people who play NWN go have a look at the RPG boards and post it there, you will more likely get a useful reply :)

    Actually, I'm not going to remove this. Amp is free to if he wants. However, having struggled for about two hours on Saturday to get a 3-person LAN game of NWN up and running without spending over £100 on the software, I personally think swapping legit keys for LAN play is a perfectly reasonable response to the utterly unreasonable protection Bioware have shoved on this game. They can shove it up their fudgetunnel if they think people are really going to buy a copy per player just to play on a home LAN...

    Fair play. Fudgetunnel shoving away! But use the PM or e-mail systems people. Any keys actually posted will be deleted.

    AND WAREZ IS BAD! IT MAKES YOUR TONGUE FALL OUT! IT GIVES YOU CANCER! IT WAS ACTUALLY RESPONISIBLE FOR SEPT 11TH! IT RAN AWAY IN MY TRUCK AND SHOT MY DOG!



    There, that should appease the anti-warez gods

    Dont bother postin in the RPG forum, cos I'll only delete your posts if they're on this topic.

    I with ACE OwNz J0oO on this.

    So I to am looking for a spare CD key for a home lan.

    Id also be greatful if someone could burn me a copy of NW onto CD as Im scared that my original might be scratched at the lan :)


    FFS Shinji you going soft or something :p

    And remember guys we have evidence now that Shinji supports computer piracy so he can never rant and rave about it again :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    Im with shinji on this one. Its ludicrous to expect ppl to buy 3 copies of the same game to play on a home lan. That encourages piracy because people who wouldnt normally be bothered about looking for cracks will go and try to find some out of necessity.

    Its not just home, ppl play games in workplaces as well as cafes etc...

    I dont condone piracy, and I'm with Rev on this so I dont want to see keys turning up here.

    If you dont agree with the license, dont buy software and its not unreasonable to expect people to buy their own copies, most multiplayer games require it for WAN play and only some (notably Starcraft and other games from Blizzard) allow you to create multi player spawns.

    Hate to be a hard ass on it but you can always execute the ultimate customer perogative and not buy the thing at all.

    Oh sure, don't get me wrong - I don't want people to post CD Keys here, and I'll delete 'em if they show up.

    However I figure it's fair enough to leave the initial post here. It's a sane request, the guy isn't a pirate, he just wants to be able to play a game he bought on a LAN with his mates. That's really not so much to ask is it?

    Besides, swapping legit CD keys is the perogative of the user and doesn't actually constitute piracy. That said, if you guys are going to swap keys, make sure the person you're swapping with is trustworthy and isn't going to try and use the key online - and that the key you're getting in return is legit!

    I would like to point out that CD KEYS are neither copyrighted or trademarked there is nothing illegal or pirated about swaping cd keys

    using them to do something illegal is a different matter

    *bursts bubble* yes it is illegal.

    Right, hopefully by now the cheerfully monikered Ace has his key and all is well. No real need for further discussion then.
