Very nice. One problem and one question tho:

Problem: My registration seems to be gone for the beta, although i can still access the minimap and better resalution, i cannot, for example, use the nick protection due to my Reg being gone.

Question: Where can we find the new changes to the scriptcore? Its not in your syntax database, but I assume it will be updated with it soon?

Will host some more servers when I wake up today. Feature list seems fine, I do understand why it took so long now.
I know fixing bugs is really boring, and the new features are really cool, but big bugs just have to be fixed. <3 beta, let's hope everyone is seriously going to test.

It's nothing constructive since I'm pretty sure nothing is going to change anymore. The login system ruined the whole concept of being able to play instantly. It took me about two minutes to register and be able to play online, but it was two minutes too much.

The maps... I can't even describe how annoyed I am. Some things just should be left untouched.

Nothing is written in stone. It's highly unlikely that maplist will be completely the same in 1.5.1 than it's in beta.

But we won't listen any crap you say until you start behave.

Any other way to create a log on? For some reason, when I click create an account, a blank screen comes up. Just wondering if there's a website or something else I can create an account in.

That's quite an impressive changelig there, NSC, well done brudda. The poly features will surely help create lots of interresting opportunities for mappers. I can't wait to try this out!
