there are doing something with 1.2 so im guessing that the white list is on so that at only the people testing it can get on lol after going to the general discussion i saw that owner told what it was on for so look before you post
We are currently testing for 1.2. The whitelist will be removed when testing is done. Please remember not to update to 1.2 yet.
For all your questions on the Update of the Server, refer to This Topic.. There will be an announcement on the forums when the administration states it is Safe for you to update. Until then, do not update.
