GameSpy is a company that provided lists of available servers for Internet Neverwinter Nights multiplayer games. These lists, accessed by selecting to join a game from the "multiplayer" menu, are divided into various game types, with each server choosing which classification best suits it. The classifications are action, story, story lite, roleplay, team, melee, arena, social, alternative, PW action, PW story, solo, and tech support.
On December 6, 2012, GameSpy (acquired a few months earlier by GLU Mobile) ended its listing services for Neverwinter Nights. As a result, the lists of active servers no longer populate, forcing players to use their history or "favorites" lists, or to make use of a direct connect, if they want to join an Internet multiplayer game.
