Well, they do get answered, it's just people are a bit stubborn and don't want to follow the instructions I guess. Either that or it's not a "100% guaranteed fix", but in my experience it works every time.JWideman wrote...

Essentially create yourself a new MP id from the in-game log-in screen. Make sure the id is different from anything you've had before, and is associated with an email address that you don't already have an account associated with.
The BSN account is not the same as a NWN2 (or NWN for that matter as this issue has been around since the early days) MP account.
They are separate systems... makes sense really when you consider that NWN and NWN2 are Atari products, and BioWare, who was nice enough to keep the NWN2 boards in the same location as the NWN boards so the collective community could stay together, is now owned by EA.
Somewhere, there's probably some EA funding that went into establishing the BSN if you dig deep enough.
So, to make a long answer short; create yourself a new id. It will work; it has worked going way back to 2002.
Edit: if you played NWN on-line, your id from there should still work for NWN2 as the authentication process/server is the same (it did/does for me).

Other thing is don't do things which tend to cause problems for programmers.
Spaces, foreign characters, quotes, upper ascii and unicode special characters like bullets and vowels with accents and punctuation all are good things to avoid because not every programmer bothers to test what happens when they are used ( assuming they even can really test it to begin with ).
Do your password and user name with letters from a to z, caps from A to Z, and numbers from 0 to 9 only. For emails keep it all lower case, and only punctuation should be the @ and . -- and that it's a valid email address.
Keeping things simple is often the best way to avoid issues. Other than that what NWN DM said is spot on.
