Ok i regestered my cd key now their 8 players i dont know with it
It appears Bioware has really screwed up on security and many paying customers are stuck with heavily used CDkeys.
Bioware has also placed our CDkeys in a plain text file named nwncdkey.ini right in the install directory.
I also liked this response from the Bioware moderator...

I don't think it's fair to say that nwncdkey.ini is a horrible breach of security. You are supposed to make sure that your files are secure, not BioWare. If you were using an operating system with proper security features *hint* *hint*, then you wouldn't have to worry about these things. After all, if your files are open, then people could pirate Neverwinter off you. In effect, you have an obligation to BioWare to keep your files secure, not the other way around (Just kidding, of course).
I doubt that someone opened up the box, and returned it again. Those sticky strips are sticky. They couldn't have got it off without ripping some of the case... It's possible that it's an entirely un-malevolent error, and no one should be blamed for it.
Of course over a dozen people responded to this by reminding him that the linux client/server are still at least a month away. Edited by: Ackar at: 6/23/02 11:48:00 am
