Masterserver alternatives

Post by Dr.Flay »

In the interests of fairness, I thought I would start a general thread for tracker/masterserver systems.
Please add any others you find.
Note: So far I am having problems finding the ToS for most services, but they all require users to create accounts, so will be holding various amounts of personal data.
Most of them are advert driven, and require you to run a piece of software, ranging from teeny-tiny (GameRanger) to ultra-massive (Steam).
Most offer a range of pricing for extra features.

Only 333networks, Qtracker and GameRanger offer traditional uplinks.

Only 333networks offers game-players and admin, compete integrated up/downlink, no software installer or adverts, and does not hold player account details, so even if 333networks was hacked or compromised in any way, players will never be at risk of anyone accessing any personal data, as none is stored or required.
If you are locked out of your account with many 3rd party tracker apps, you will not be able to play online.

[Engine.GameEngine] is for servers to uplink to a master.
[UBrowserAll] is for players to get a list.

I think we tested that multiplay master last year but got no signal.
Their current site is not very informative http://multiplay.com and for a long time it now just looks like a life-style magazine for the cool and trendy.

I added a couple more Scott Kevill (GameRanger) showed me.
I had looked at GSC already, but discounted it. Perhaps someone else may get an opinion by using it.

Three

And we call it "Tempest".

Our third master server is a fact. This master server is located in New Hampshire, United States. We hope it will become as reliable as the other servers that are up already. You can see the realtime statistics on tempest.333networks.com.

Updates
As a courtesy, I would like to point out the following links. With GameSpy stopping their services next week already, the master server hosted on 333networks has become a hot topic. You can find more information on the following pages:

Updates about the 333networks Master Server, the latest master server news.
http://333networks.com/masterserver-updates

Tutorial on using our master servers: How to use our master server.
http://333networks.com/masterserver

Our source code: 333networks Git Repository
http://git.333networks.com

Right now, all live supported games and servers can be found in realtime on each master server's website:

http://master.noccer.de

add
master2.oldunreal.com
and
master.dxmp.net

to the list of MS, both are hosted by me, master.dxmp.net will be hosted on a different server soon but currently both domains are pointing to the same server/masterserver.

They are both multi masters and support all games on the unreal engine.

If you can help me out with the style and makeup, I can help you make something like http://ubrowser.333networks.com, but then for Deus Ex.
