Hook's UT Place

When the Master Servers for UT are Gone?

When we play UT online, there are "Master Servers" that our UT game connects to to poll or to find out what UT Game Servers are currently up & running out on the internet.
Our UT game then displays all the running UT game servers on our multi-player menu tabbed by game type.
There were originally 3 master servers that the UT game queried, then one of those 3 shut down or quit functioning as a UT master server.
Hermskii of "House of Hermskii" who runs several fun UT game servers such as CG (Curious Georges Redeemer Insanity) and MHM (MonsterHunt Mayhem) and whom also currently hosts our Re-Directs, has replaced that defunct UT master server that quit with another one at Qtracker.
Here is a copy of the line Hermskii now uses:

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.qtracker.com MasterServerPort=27900

This is all very good, but my question is ...
What will happen when all of the UT Master Servers quit doing what they do?
Will someone be able to put up another one? Maybe UTPG will, or Hermskii, or UT99.org or even Hook's UT Place?
I would imagine that we could still connect with servers, directly, and by using "open location"!?!?
Maybe even have UT sites with lists of servers running and their IP addresses!?!?

Just some questions and thoughts about the UT Master Servers.

The Gamersvault.com domain is actually up for sale, which means that the master server would no longer be active.
The one that is mentioned above that got replaced to qtracker.com is mplayer.com (which was taken over by gamespy in late 2000 & is listed as a master server already, as with epicgames). One could tell by looking in their own UT.log file. I also updated my UT.ini file to reflect the change. Wink

Could someone post what/how to change your ini files to the best new master servers? Confused
