They're working on GSW.

The reason we got the initial server test was because they were testing to see if it was working well, and looking for first thoughts. The second one was because they weren't currently working on it, so let us go for another go, as well as letting those who didn't get to go on the first time a chance. But that was only temporary. v1 is being worked on right now.

As Meglo kindly pointed out, registration is closed right now because GSW is under development. It was open during server tests so people could create accounts, but regisration is now closed because we need the server to be used solely for development. All accounts are deleted between each beta release, so do not worry about not having an account.

Why can't you have two sections on the server:

1 for testing
1 for us to play with

Also, why does the stats say that the original file name of GSW was "Player.exe" ??

There is a simple reason ROF: resources. The server we use is not only for us, but also runs about 4 pretty active websites. Plus, running two instances of the server software is a major burden on not only the server but the database also. It just isn't practical to have it open if there isn't anything for you all to do. Once we hit a real version we won't be closing it unless there is a really really good reason to.

About the file name, it has always been GSW-servertest.exe for the public releases. For the private releases there aren't even .exe files, just the normal flash .swf files. Player.exe probably refers to Flash's Player.exe file, which is what interpretes SWF files.
