THQ shutting down their server would do NOTHING to RF! What it would do is shut down the tracker! Then you would not see anybody's games... it would be blank! People's servers will still be running... but... you would have to know their IP's to get into them! That is when L4Y gets flooded with server IP's! If you do make a server you will have to forward your ports and download RF Server Assist 4!
He's asking how to set up his own Master Server/Tracker
Some people have found out how to do this but aren't willing to share it with others coz they think theyr cool.
Ok, not everybody should set up a tracker, all ya need is one machine. But if the ppl left L4Y with their knowedgle, and then the server goes down..noone will b able to do this.
A guy from the old DD (Drunken Dragons) set up a secondary master... I doubt it's still online, but if it is it's match.no-ip.com . The same guys coded the Hex name maker... ... ah but if I could remember the guy's name! He used to be a member of L4y in the days of old...
hey thanks, the server assist will do, as long as i can play with my buddys who iv been playing with, (we live in same town).
thanks all.

if they take down game tracker,we should do a swarm..get as many peeps as we can and on a chosen day..swarm the site and their e mail...see if we can bring it down....or not
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.
