That doesn't fix UT and all its mods though :|
Then how many Coop servers are up on UT right now? .3's one is gone IIRC, no idea about Loathsome's ones.

The MP playerbase is still pretty big so that's not a good idea.

I think a reverse engineering of the GameSpy protocol is in order to provide compatible master server replacements with.

Or wait is that somehow "illegal"... Huh I wonder how the hell Wine and ReactOS are doing then.

There's also that alternative that Nathan Mate's has been using with BZ2.

Waitwaitwait. Gamespy was running the unreal masterserver? wtf? lol that explains a lot (I always wondered how EPIC managed to keep the server running for this long, I always assumed they had some crusty old pentium 4 server or something chilling in the basement running COBOL. Turns out they weren't even the ones managing it! :P)

Bit late I know... goodbye GameSpy, thank you for all the torment you caused over the years. At least we can continue playing the Unreal games without it.
