Gamespy All Remaining Servers Shutting Down May 31st 2014 including UT3

[Arthas]

Heya, I just want to let you remaining UT3 players know that the remaining Gamespy services including UT3 Master Server List is shutting down. Here is the link http://teambeyond.net/halo-pc-shutting/

The remaining games still on gamespy, UT3 included will no longer be able to use the master server to find and connect to servers. So you better learn your favorite servers IP address before the shutdown, because that will be the only way to connect to online games anymore. The IP for my server Midwest Main Server is 50.172.33.158 for those who play or want to play on my server. Here is another link to gamespy that confirms this http://www.poweredbygamespy.com/pricing/

If Flak or someone else from Epic could give us an answer about what will happen to UT3, that would be great.

unreal, UT and UT2004 are unaffected, right?

[Arthas]

I believe so, since they don't use gamespy me thinks.

Epic will be fixing the issue and the master server, as well as server functionality, will be completely fine. Rest easy guys!

Flak (UT dev) already confirmed that on epic forums.

Official statement: "UT3 is safe. We have an in-house solution and it will just require you to do a few steps locally to get it running. More info coming! "

so yeah it's safe :)

thanks for the update peeps

[doctor3d]

Sad, really. This is probably going to be the last AAA arena shooter that we will have for years.

Hope they save this as well as Gears of War PC

Gears of War will probably become a windows 8 only thing, somehow, or completely abandoned by Microsoft.
That's how they roll.

With the death of GFWL, doubtful. Maybe players can make their own master server?

basically saying, you will have to fix your game, epic cant be bothered to release an update.
gg epic. epicly bad.

They no longer own the Gears ip ans I don't think MS cares :/

The game is 7 years old and not the most active what do you expect?

[Arthas]

He expects Epic to make financial bad decisions cuz he thinks that just because Unreal fans were first that they should be catered too.
