CD KEY

Post by littonsteve1 »

Several times in the last few day when I try to log in I get the message my CD key is already in use. This morning I loged in on with one of my wifes characters to see if anyone was on a player named eks0706 was on. I thought each player name was set to its own CD key to prevent that.

Did you use a torrent download and CD key for your installation or did you purchase the game?

I have Keys both purchased and downloaded. Prob have the downloaded on mine. I still dont understand how someone can log in under a different name with the same CD key, I cant go in under a different name or use my name on a different comp with different Keys.

A CD key from a torrent is going to be used by a lot of players, so not exclusive to one player. A purchased key will be exclusive to one player unless they install on multiple machines.

So if you want to play with a torrent key that you've not purchased ... then you're going to risk other players doing the same.

I think the CD key locks should be removed. I have several CD Keys myself depending on which computer I am on. It would be nice to be able to log into my account from any computer.

The reason I do this is because the Gamespy servers have been taken down. That means when you log in to Neverwinter there isn't any authentication at all.
To get access to your characters, all someone has to do is just log in with your name and hit enter. They could delete everything you have if they wanted.

That is why I do a CD key check.

Thanks,

I understand the safety issue, to bad there is not a way to set up a player password.
