There is no Gamespy anymore. You need to direct connect or Soren has provided a file you can download that will log you straight into POTM.

Then the chat channel in game spy no longer exists?

Something like this also works,

For Players:
- Create a Shortcut from your nwmain.exe file, found in your main NWN folder.
- Right-click on the shortcut and opt for 'properties'.
- In the Target field you should see the full path to where this file is linking.
- Type the following after the quotation mark: +connect 84.238.55.137:5121

For DM's:
All of the above.
Except the Target field is different.
After the path, type in the following:

path/nwmain.exe -dmc +connect 84.238.55.137:5121 +password [insert DM password]

You can make multiples of these for each server you play as well

Unless you're talking about something other than the 'Chat' tab. that is still there and functional.... Pretty sure I've seen people talking away on it  during resets.

I'm talking about the chat tab yes. I can't get it to come up. Other then that I can direct connect. Any idea what's causing it to say try another nick all the sudden? It's not antivirus software I'm pretty sure of that.

chat tab works for me and some of us, we spam it more or less when there's downtime :D
