Click multiplayer
Type in your bioware user name and password when it prompts you
Click "Join Lan game"
Click "direct connect"
At the prompt, type west.layonara.com and then the password.

If this is what you were doing, maybe the server was resetting when you were trying to connect or something.

And welcome to Layo :-)

Post by: darkstorme on April 14, 2008, 12:04:33 AM: What does it say you're unable to connect to? Can you see the other servers in the list (those that Gamespy provides?)

And at what stage of Ycleption's instructions does it fail?

You need to go buy NWN Diamond Edition(the cheapest way to buy NWN and all of it's expansions...)to play here, man. You can get it online or some local software store might have it.

Post by: Anthlimar on April 14, 2008, 06:52:58 AM: How do I open Neverwinter nights? I don't see it anywhere besides in the folder where i downloaded the two files.

Post by: Blackguy on April 14, 2008, 06:55:40 AM: Neverwinter nights is a game you buy. Those files you downloaded are just a "add-on", a modification for an existing game. Just like Counter-strike were a modification of Half-Life. You need to buy the game called Neverwinter Night, including thier expansions to be able to use those files you used. As was states the Diamond edition of the gamepack includes the game and all expansions. Go buy that.

Post by: stragen on April 14, 2008, 09:03:07 AM: The platinum or diamond edition of Never Winter Nights can actually be bought through the layonara amazon store online... if you haven't got a copy of the game.

Here is a NWN Platinum (http://astore.amazon.com/layonara-20/detail/B00029QORW/102-4748366-0443334)

And NWN Diamond (http://astore.amazon.com/layonara-20/detail/B000B8K7RC/102-4748366-0443334)

You intentionally left out the "a" in "smart", right?
