EDIT: Oh, the server is maxplayers 16, with 2 reserved slots that are accessible to any GU forum member. Also, another thing to remember for the diehard WC3 player is that your XP is only updated to be permanently saved to the server on mapchange - something to remember...
EDIT: Due to the restrictions in the latest adminmod the way some of you are setup will not work - this is mainly directed at admins or members of the community that have been around for a while. IF you have a password in your profile under your WONID it means that to get onto GU #1 you needed to have a admin.cfg file (or equiv) to setup your setinfo lines - ie:
setinfo pw-octa4 mypassword
With this new server, it is changed - you will ALSO need to add:
setinfo _pw-gu mypassword
Where of course 'mypassword' is your password set under your WONID in your profile.
If you are having problems with "string info exceeds length" (or whatever that error is - you'll KNOW it when you see it) then simply delete your password from your profile (the password under your WONID). All authentication is WONID based so a password is really necessary.
Any probs let me know.

OK, I have updated the WC3 mod to the latest version, I have also brought back the normal adminmod we are all used to. All that I need to do now is crashtest/troubleshoot lag, etc.
The changes I have made to WC3 is that now, your XP is not reset each level, in fact, its not even reset when you leave the game. Its all based on your WONID, so you can get, for example, 400xp as an elf then join the humans, get 600 there, then disconnect, play tommorow, and all your XP is saved the way it was. BUT, it is now a lot harder to get XP than before (for obvious reasons).
I have also added a modified version of the plugin that means that if you kill someone higher up than you, you get more XP, and if you get killed by someone a lot lower, you can actually LOSE XP.
There is also now a Shop that you can buy special items at - it does not work atm so you'll have to wait for that one.
It's all going to come down to test, which I hope all of you can do over the next few days - especially now that all the admins now have their access back ;) Actually, please DO play there a lot the next few days and be strick on undesirables.
Anyway, here is some info on the classes - I'll be endevouring to get the shop working ASAP.
