Sheesh... :|

I'm glad Vastly created the mules this time around, I'll be out of town through the weekend and would have no way to fix this for my guild.

If CLAD runs into any issues, I'd like to give the nod to allow a DM/Dev override of the security setting on the CLAD mules. That's all the help I can provide, however.

I like the idea of security settings being disabled by default. I understand there's a need for some players...evidently someone's account was victimized...but this is going to be a huge pain for the rest of us who have more than one PC, or have potentially created characters on friends computers while in other states visiting...etc. *sigh*

Yesterday I didn't get any PMs concerning CD key issues so I'll assume everything is fine... :D

I was tempted to make the default insecure, but I think lockdown by default is superior method (in software systems in general, including this). Players are likely to not log in each and every character to enable the CD key check. There are headaches when switching to a new system, but most of them will be resolved soon enough.

As MadUkranian mentioned to me earlier... remember your nwncdey.ini (located in your NWN folder) is the file containing your CD keys... If Machine A can access a character, then merely copying that file to Machine B will allow Machine B to access that character too. Many other games use similar security measures, so its about time we jump on board too.
