Banned for no reason

I just bought the game on GOG a couple of days ago, and when I try to log into the Ravenloft POTM server it says I'm banned and to contact a DM.
I've never played this before so I'm a little confused, is the server only for certain players or what?
I have purchase proof that I've only just bought the game this week if that helps, literally never played before so not sure why I would be banned by default.

    Can you log into other servers (e.g. Arelith)? Could be you ran afoul of some of their automated system. If you can join other servers, you should ask PotM staff on their own forums.

    Maybe they are just "social distancing".

    Yes I can log in and play on the other ones just fine. Sorry, I've always wanted to play this kind of game but just recently found out about it and it seems a little overwhelming. I'm not sure how servers even work.

    Great, now today it's asking me for a CD key to play multiplayer. Wtf is up with this game?

    Ah, apparently GOG is still practicing giving everyone a shared cdkey by default, and you need to manually take your private key and use that: https://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/multiplayer_solution_invalid_key_enhanced_edition

    Probably what happened is someone else got banned from PotM using the shared key.

    GOG does not install a CD key for you, and the window that pops up for people to type in their CD key when they press the multiplayer button is for GOG players.

    I'm not sure how you tried to log into Prisoners of the Mist without a CD key, but this is a necessary step for all GOG purchases. It has something to do with GOG's cd key policies, they prefer to do things that way, and Steam and Beamdog Client NWN players do not have to hassle with this extra step.
