Anyone confirmed that any of the servers on this list work? I want to host some games with friends. Cheers

What about using xfire? When I had it installed I could see plenty of servers.

Master Servers are not required in hosting a server specifically for you and friends that you invite, you should be able to either get away with the fields empty, or leave the default one in place. A Master Server/Master List is the list that you see in a Game Server Browser under "Multi Player" or a Game Browser like QTracker or Gamespy.

Providing your Firewall rules and port forwarding is correct, you should be able to start one and pass your External IP onto your friends, and they can connect directly to you.

Here is what my services run and it seems to show up in a lot of places:

set sv_master1 "master.quake3arena.com
set sv_master2 "master.ioquake.org"
set sv_master3 "master.maverickservers.com:27950"
set sv_master4 "master.qtracker.org"
set sv_master5 "master3.idsoftware.com:27950"

It looks like the ID Master Server has fallen down again.

it has indeed and has been out for a few days.

Anyone wishing to connect to AKUTA cpma servers 1.16n can do so at these IP's listed:

50.97.113.66:27960

50.97.113.68:27960

or visit www.akuta.proboards.com

I go back to my earlier statement - Add servers to a more reliable master server. I have given example above.

Yes but, as I understand it, that would require that game clients have also entered those master servers in their q3config, as the game code automatically searches for the ID master.

The problem is that many of our regulars would have no idea about doing that, and have pretty much default q3config.cfg files.

Of course, adding some others may help overall traffic.
Can only try and see how it goes I suppose.

IDSoftware switched off again their quake 3 masterserver.
Players cant see anymore servers in the quake 3 ingame browser.




As a solution, we, the BMA Team are running now our own masterserver.
Players can see again servers in the quake 3 ingame browser, that were added to our masterserver.




Masterserver: master.huxxer.de

Appears Qtracker has gone offline as of 1St August 2017 as stated on their website, http://www.qtracker.com/news.php

Well, I started off this evening shutting Qtracker down.

After playing Ark for a bit, clearer heads have prevailed and I'm just shutting down my Gamespy emulation. Unfortunately the minority is ruining it for the majority and my Gamespy servers have been the target of many attacks within the past few years. This has resulted in downtime, lots of wasted money, countless wasted hours (that could've went towards the new version of Qtracker), and tons of stress.

So, all of Qtrackers Gamespy emulation servers will be shut down on 8/1/2017. This should give mod authors plenty of time to move to other solutions.

Let us give a minute silence for the good old days, before 'large world, single server and hubs' took over
