    The GSW server test was released the day before AveneR and I started work and school, respectively. We have both been very busy with our normal lives, and so work on GSW has been much slower than initially predicted. Because of this, we cannot give an estimated release date for the next version of GSW. However, we will be reopening the server test sometime in the next two weeks to collect more data (all users will have to re-register their accounts) for analysis and testing. So if you do not see any news here for awhile, do not worry, as the project has not been cancelled or forgotten, we have simply been busy with other obligations.

          And what other information do you need Max?

            Well, we have implemented some new logging features, so the data I'm referring to would mostly be from that. But the server test would also help us check to make sure some bugs have been fixed sufficiently.

                As long as GSW won't turn into a Duke Nukem Forever, we are happy.

                  hmm, if this is off topic, please tell me

                  i think in the next test, those who are mods here, should moderate GSW, because of the weirdos who propped up there. I don't know whether this is possible Max coz I don't know how far you are into developing the game but it would prevent, as n1p, a Duke Nukem forever (fun game and all) and make it more enjoyable

                    Does that mean that all user logins, logouts, idle notices, chat conversations etc. will be logged as evidence?

                        I don't really know what you're referring to when saying it will be logged as evidence, but yes, all of those are now logged and we want to check if it's going to be helpful. Also, some bugs should be removed from the game by now.

                        Take care

                          Oh, I like some of the glitches, but I suppose it is done to make it more realistic, right?

                                            While the script may let you register, all accounts will be deleted the day before the next release, which will not be for at least another week or two.

                                                Can i make a suggestion? leave in the walking on roofs tricks and the go through the wall in the inn trick. everyone loves those. (at least till it gets finished. it should be one of the last changes)

                                                  I for one don't think the glitches should be put in the game. Why? Because the game shouldn't need glitches to be fun. It should be fun enough without 'em.

                                                  Good to see the server test come back. And don't worry, AveneR, Max. Take your time at school, we can live with GSW being late. :lol:

                                                    Yeah, I agree. Even when if the glitches were a lot of fun, it shouldn't be on it anymore. We have to keep it...realistic anyways. Wait...going on roofs are realistic, if you get a ladder and just get on the roof. That's realistic. But...anyways...let's dont keep the glitches, no matter how much fun it was.

                                                      Yeah, GSW was really meant to entertain people without the glitches. Can't wait till the server test comes out!

                                                        The Server Test was already out Gsninja. You were in it too. The version will come out...just wait and see.

                                                              The GSW server test was released the day before AveneR and I started work and school, respectively. We have both been very busy with our normal lives, and so work on GSW has been much slower than initially predicted. Because of this, we cannot give an estimated release date for the next version of GSW. However, we will be reopening the server test sometime in the next two weeks to collect more data (all users will have to re-register their accounts) for analysis and testing. So if you do not see any news here for awhile, do not worry, as the project has not been cancelled or forgotten, we have simply been busy with other obligations.

                                                              I bolded what you need to read. :wub: Are we going to have mods this time?

The point will be to collect data via the logging system we have implemented, so only a few bugs will have been fixed, and no moderation system has been implemented. The server test will not be for at least 2 more weeks.

This may be a little of topic, but I wanna ask it anyway. I remember reading somewhere on the GSW site that GSW was going to be a community and that there wasn't going to be any kind of quest or adventure mode. But then, when I watched the trailer, it said, "Partake in a New Adventure." Can someone clear this up for me?
