Buying a used NWN game

Post by Mark Oban » Sun Jun 10, 2007 4:57 pm

Hi all, I have a few friends that want to jump into Avlis and I have the opportunity to purchase a few NWN Platnium editions off a mate, he has used his games online before, will my friends be able to get online with the same CD keys that he has already used ?
The game still cost about $69 to buy new here in Sydney, so we don't want to go out and buy 3 new copies.

Buying used games with CD-keys isn't a great idea for online play. The CD-keys could be banned from sites you want to play.

Amazon.com sells new copies of NWN Diamond for less than US$20 each. I believe they'd ship to Australia, for which shipping for the first would be about US$13, with discounts if you make a combined order of multiple sets.

Just click on the Amazon box on the Blackdagger main page, and enter B000B8K7RC into the search box at Amazon.

not entirely sure, but it should be ok.

Looking forward to welcoming your friends to Avlis :D

Go the Aussies!!

Please also remember that for each one of your friends, you all need to have separate CD keys if you all wish to play on Avlis.

Have a read of the Avlis rule on Shared CD Keys here:

Hope to see you and your friends in game soon.

To buy or not to buy

Thanks for the info, I know this guy was not on Avlis, but I suppose its a bit risky, Amazon sounds the go.
Its been two years since I played Avlis with my wife & brother, really looking forward to it, I still have my 2 copies, but need another 3 for my noob friends :lol: , will see you in the world soon.

ditto to above notes on why used isn't wise ...and don't forget to have them apply to Avlis separately too.

most importantly; welcome back! :D
