Due to the permanent loss of the Master Server, the case sensitivity of player logins to NWN is no longer being enforced. This allows me, for example, to login as either Thayan, THAYAN, thayan, tHaYaN, and so on - even though my true login name is Thayan. However, if I do not login with my original case sensitive name, this in turn breaks a number of persistency settings such as faction status, vault storage, and so on.

To address this problem, the next server update tentatively scheduled for the weekend of 9/15 will include a change to the security system which will enforce case sensitive logins. At that point any login to the server will be forced to use the original case sensitive player name. If it does not, you will still be able to login (as long as the first part of the security system explained here previously is passed), however your PC will be unable to move and you will be informed that you will need to login to the server using your original case sensitive name which will be provided as part of that message.

Note that this will stop all login scripts, so you may end up initially being ‘stuck’ in the black Welcome to Thay area if this happens to you - the screen will be black and you will be unable to move. However, you will still receive notification of an incorrect case sensitive login being used and then logging out and logging back in with your correct case sensitive name will jump you to the main game world areas.
