There isn't a way. The website is down. Your best bet is to repurchase the game on Steam.

What I want to know is when all the accounts were compromised did the hackers delete all our CD keys? Cuz if they didn't then Bioware should have just reissued CD keys to the accounts that had them. I doubt hackers would go to the trouble to delete them all, and Bioware sweeping the whole thing under the rug, dusting their hands, and saying "Oh, well, buy them all again" says a lot about their customer service. They will fit right in at EA.

I had all my keys stored on the site because it was supposed to protect them from being lost if the manuals were lost. Apparently it was the other way around. The manuals were there to protect our keys in case Bioware screwed up. I had NWN2 from the day it came out (pre-ordered and everything) and used the tool kit before release. Years and years of loyalty to them and now I am pretty much told if I want to play again, I have to buy it all again.

It's the reverse, the Bioware keys were there to protect you from losing your manual.Preshall wrote...

NWN2 complete, fully patched, is $20 on Steam, and regularly on sale for $10. The NWN complete pack, including NWN1, it's expansions, and some premium modules, + NWN2 and it's expansion, is $30.

You bought the game - you were given keys. It is up to you to keep track of them; what BioWare offered on-line was for convenience (and to enable posting permissions in forums), not as an encased in stone guarantee that the data would always be there (and verbiage indicating this was front/centre when you went to input your keys).
$20 for endless gaming... a tough choice I agree.

I've been getting the same vibe ever since the whole fiasco happened, I check here regularily to see if any progress was made, but "out of sight, out of mind" seems to be their solution. Not their fault it happened, but not ours either, and expecting a solution other than "buy it again" is apparently such a heinous and impossible thing to ask... i guess the morale of the story is to just not trust them anymore.

The company you trusted does not exist anymore. Bioware is a division of EA, this site is really an EA site, and I think i like EA better with Bioware, but EA just does not invest money in products which really benefit a competing publisher ( Atari ). When they set up this site, it really was the first nail in the coffin for that other site, and that hacker who decided to attack the prior site really slammed the lid shut, what was a site which was being maintained for good will suddenly became a liability. They probably still intend to do what they said, but it is such a low priority and there are so many more pressing issues that you shouldn't hold your breath.
I think the moral of the story is when you have a CD key, don't trust anyone except yourself to store it. Keep it in a box, a file on your computer, or on a online file storage site, or keep it in all 3 places since you can't trust just one, and if the vendor offers to store the keys use that as an addition. ( or just keep the box the game came in and the cdkeys in that ). If you use steam you should copy the keys to a text pad just in case they shut down completely.
Add to that, if you have passwords on a gaming site, don't use the same password for your bank. Actually use different passwords everywhere.
At this point, i'd suggest getting steam or similar ( its repair install feature is really sweet ), or that combo pack with NWN1 and NWN2 complete. Not because i like what happened, but there just is no other option and it's not going to cost 49+29+29 to buy it all again - instead it's going to be a $10 cd replacement fee ( when its on sale ).
Or you can get on a forum and go on about how evil they are for not maintaining every game until the end of time. Eventually everything ends, and from my perspective they have supported our games quite generously.
