Hey Ducky, I moved. Now I can't join your server. I'm getting a couple cd-key errors like "mistyped cd key?" and "Invalid cd key". Damn I have a new IP addy and I guess the authentication server is not liking seeing my cd key coming from another place. Back in the days when people were talking about this here I paid no attention cause I didn't have the problem, but now that I have moved, ARGH. Do you remember how to get around this? Or anyone else? And unlike all the other weenies who used to post about this stuff, I don't mind buying a new copy if I have to. That is if I can still find it. But is there another solution short of buying a new copy? TIA OTG

I recently bought a new copy to get online from 2 computers here, but for some reason it screws up my ping horribly. I will email you the cd key and you can try it.

I'll see if I can score a new copy. I miss your server badly.
