Hello, I am a new player (well I played back in like... 2006 but I regress)
I am just wondering how do I find the servers and connect? I just bought NWN:EE and I am not seeing HG on the server list, and the direct connect IP's on the wiki are do not bring anything up. Would love to figure this out and log back in for the first time in like 15+ years!
TIA,
Phleeb
Edit: I bought NWN:EE on Steam, I am looking and seeing people say stuff about GOG. Should I have just bought NWN original on that?
Edit2: Bought the game on GOG also, it came with NWN Diamond, and installed all CEP things. Am I missing something here?

Hey and welcome back first of all  HG doesn't run on NWN:EE (and only Funky know if it ever will). You need the old version NWN Diamond, GOG is a good place to get it. You will need patch 1.69 of the game, CEP version 2.3c, and Enhanced Mode hak (while not strictly necessary to play the game, it's highly recommended). Here is a link to a quick installation (so all you have to bother is installing the GOG game, the file will do the rest for you). Once all is done, you can directly connect to the servers: Hub 1 - 158.69.144.21:5121 119 - 158.69.144.21:5129 (roleplay) Hub 2 - 158.69.144.21:5131 212 - 158.69.144.21:5132 213 - 158.69.144.21:5133 214 - 158.69.144.21:5134 215 - 158.69.144.21:5135 Hub 3 - 158.69.144.21:5141 312 - 158.69.144.21:5142 313 - 158.69.144.21:5143 314 - 158.69.144.21:5144 315 - 158.69.144.21:5145 Hub 4 - 158.69.144.21:5151 412 - 158.69.144.21:5152 413 - 158.69.144.21:5153 414 - 158.69.144.21:5154 415 - 158.69.144.21:5155 |

If you have previously played here and use your original playername you will see all your historic characters although if you are using a new CDkey you will need to request that this is added to the account in question or you will get booted as you log in to the docks.

Okay so my old thing here is dg Cook, you can find posts from me from like 2006 lol. How would I go about integrating that to my new profile exactly? |

Yes, you can launch the game normally and connect to the servers. Alternatively, you can use the modified executable (not sure if the quick install includes it tho), it has improved functionalities, like greater max camera distance, or expanded voice chat commands (for voice binding).

You had set one when you played the game before this may need to be cleared before you can use that account

The servers aren't protected by a password. If you are talking about the account (and you bought the game from GOG), you can ask GOG for a key for online playing; keys they hand out by default tend to be universal, so it's possible that another player already used it, but if you ask for a new one, you will have a unique key just for yourself. EDIT: if you mean your old account password and key, you can request a reset here, or on discord. Although, and I'll go on record here, unless your old acct was super rich and deep in the game, there's little harm in starting a new one. The game's changed quite a bit since 2006 (sorry, spoiler) and you can get the full experience of lowbie tags and quests and whatnot when starting a new character  |
