Hi all, the Warlord Go Server has been updated and is now back online.

New features:
- Review games
- Almost realtime playing (refreshrate 3s)
- Mini-tournaments
- User info pages
- ... and a lot more!

All these new features need testing of course. So please come by and play a game at:

Oh, and of course I forgot to mention:
The WGS is especially developed for mobile users. The pagesizes are extremely small (10-20k) and it's all just basic html, so it should work on most phones.

I've tested it on iPhone and Windows-phone(HTC), Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Please tell me if it works on other browsers.

There seems to be a problem with Blackberry-users, but I haven't found out what's wrong. Yet.

Testing is going just fine! But to be able to test the mini-tounament feature, a few (2) more players are needed... Please come by and login!

My login appears to have ceased to work, and there's no "forgotten password" or anything links ... any suggestions ?

Why the rule that a player must visit the server at least every 20 days or else the account will be deleted? That seems a bit rash.

The server has a very poor response time right now (a few hours ago it worked fine).

I agree.

The server has a very poor response time right now (a few hours ago it worked fine).

AFAIK, the server is taken offline every night whilst it is in beta.

Hi! Yes, there are still some things to work on...

I made the 20-days rule to be able to delete fake/automated accounts. But I'll think of something else

I'll also make a password-retrieve system for you topazg

I have updatet the server and it will be back online in a few minutes. Users should re-register, because I was unable to keep the same user-format.

Thanks all for testing!

Ok, it's back online... Most things discussed yesterday are implemented now (mail-delete, see/chat with your spectators, max handicap for small games)

Not implemented are the comments on the rating-system and the tournament-handicap settings... I'll work on that next

Enjoy the update!

Oh and indeed it is only online during daytime in Europe right now. But this will change after the testing period is over.

[Daan]

Testing is still going fine although some small problems are reported.

More testers are still welcome!

Thanks all!

[topazg]

Yeah, I still can't log in, and kinda don't want to time out really

[Daan]

Haha... yeah, i'm afraid something is wrong with the user-registration... I'm on it.

The problems should be solved by now. I did something stupid

[Daan]

New update: solved a lot of smaller problems. Players should now agree on the score.

I've also added a new option: ultrasmall Goban for mobile users. The pagesize now is just 2K. (~20K for normal viewing).

It needs testing!
