It may get addressed more quickly if you post something about it here:

(not really a UT2003 thread, but it is a UT2004 master server thread that Flak checks routinely and may at least get answers for you)

I recently installed again this great game. So the master server was still working these days? I hope it doenst die, this game is pretty awesome, even for today standarts, and probably will make us old gamers get interested in the new UT ones...

Well as 30th May 2012 : 12:00 Noon GMT the UT2003 MasterServers are again online, and now ALL my Unreal servers are online once again, the last time I recall the Masterservers were offline was back in 2007 for 2 days.

My Unreal Servers at : unreal://ihsg.dynalias.com:77## (Server Port)
IHSG is an abbreviation of "Inch High Sniper Guy" which was first introduced on the Old Unreal in 1998 by Jim "Kap'n'Karnage" after moving onto UnrealTournament in 1999 I continued the theme, using the Large Room format - 95% of maps on my Servers are IHSG modified with custom weapons & HighSpeed Redirects even on the Original Unreal updated to V227h. I also provide full web support for the Server files.

Cool, your servers are working, but i still cant get anything from master server. it freezes at "querying master server". I wonder if im doing something wrong.

k, im happy to say i fixed it. just switched to another master server on my ut2003.ini file:

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
CurrentMasterServer=0

i changed

CurrentMasterServer=0

to

CurrentMasterServer=1

(ut2003master2.epicgames.com)

Awesome that Epicgames didnt just forget about their older games. Gives a boost on this company's trustworth for me.

using notepad or similar standard text editor you should check your X://Path/UT2003/System/UT2003.ini
replacing if neccessary the [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] section with the following

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
CurrentMasterServer=3
MasterServerPort[0]=28902
MasterServerAddress[0]=master0.gamespy.com
MasterServerPort[1]=28902
MasterServerAddress[1]=www.telefragged.com
MasterServerPort[2]=28902
MasterServerAddress[2]=ut2003master1.epicgames.com
MasterServerPort[3]=28902
MasterServerAddress[3]=ut2003master2.epicgames.com

these are the current Default MasterServers for UT2003

for UT2004 the following are the Default MasterServers:-

you should check your X://Path/UT2004/System/UT2004.ini
replacing if neccessary the [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] section with the following

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11780
LANServerPort=10780
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master2.epicgames .com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master1.epicgames .com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master0.epicgames .com",Port=28902)

nice, yeah i did that, but ut2003master2.epicgames.com was my second (number 1). you know if those other master servers are working? master0.gamespy.com and www.telefragged.com?

Yes I believe that they are both still working, although the telefragged site has seemed to have disappeared the masterserver still operates????
