CD Key / Account Issue

[spectre]

So I finally joined forums, and need some help with this one.

I have my own account which is fine. My sister gave me her account to use for a while as she is not currently playing NWN, and I figured I can buff my lowbies etc. Well I logged onto her account, went to HG and there was no toons... weird I thought, because she has a couple. So I created one (which is a mock toon anyway). I figured out that I couldn't log into HG with only 1 CD key despite 2 accounts, so changed the CD Key .INI file to her keys, but when I log in to HG it still show the mock toon and none of hers. When I try to play however CD Key Authentication is denied.

So, is it possible to get her toons/bankchests etc back, and can I play it from my PC now I changed the CD Keys? I better also note that she has packed up most of her gear and is going to be moving soon so is not able to log on to give me any access via scry.

AC Name - Sekhmet Darkwolf

Thanks

if you are double-boxing these accounts, you need to log onto one, and THEN change the .ini file while logged on. that should solve your authentication issue. as to the missing toons, i have no idea

Nothing has happened to her characters, unless she deleted them. We'll need playername and character names in order to tell you anything about her account.

TJ- I have no idea about double boxing. I have 2 PC's at home, so would load 1 account on 1 PC and another on my main PC. Both go out through the same router, so IDK what happens with authentication.

Funk- She had a few toons, 2 main ones from memory (one a cleric, another a fighter). Like me with my toon name 'Spectre' she would use variations on the name 'Darkwolf'. I beleive for HG it was "Darkwolf the (insertnamehere) Aspect" one I'm sure would have been "Darkwolf the Sekhmet Aspect" another I think was "Darkwolf the Hecate Aspect". Her player name was "Sekhmet Darkwolf".

TBH her toons were at most immo, with no subs so no real issue losing them, but her bankchest and bank balance was healthy for a new player. We were both lucky enough to be there when a pro player quit and spent 20mins running around dropping lvl 50 plates, 100million piles of gold etc. So she would have loads of those and about 1bil in the bank. If we could somehow get this back that would be awesome.

So I am not sure exactly sure what else I can tell you that could help, but if there is something let me know

hi

there is not only a "Sekhmet Darkwolf" login, but also a "SekhmetDarkwolf" (without the space in the middle) login. i'm guessing you simply got the login wrong, and since both logins were accessed in the last 24 hours, i'm also guessing you figured that out already

the transfer bank chests are only tied to the cd key and can be accessed with any login, as long as you are using the right cd key.

the personal bank chests are tied to the cd key and the character name and need both to be right.

What bhao said. That, and that accepting items from a departing player dump is punishable by character deletion. Though for your sake I'm going to assume that happened before the rule in question was implemented.

Bhao - TY, she said she was gonna load NWN back on but has not called me back to say she had, so it would have been her logging on.

Funk - Yeah mate, the item dump was DM sanctioned, there was a DM toon there watching over, it was all legit It happened a while ago (like a year?) before I went back to GW to conquer EOTN. That done, now I'm back on HG. The person leaving had several toons and apparently had some addiction problems, so despite the years break they had, when they came back s/he got straight back into the addictive pattern so quit for good. IDK about the rule, but yeah there was a DM toon there 'supervising'.

So basically I actually seem to have created a new account by mistake, thinking that it was my sisters. Such a simple mistake, but I would not have figured it out. Thanks guys
