HNGamers Master Server

by Sean Rice · 10/19/2010 (2:46 am) · 8 comments

One of the issues that most people have is the ability to run their own Master Server. HNGamers has been running a master server for a while now and we keep our servers on 24/7. Toltech (Gibby's Game) and a few of our games are running on the Master Server. You guys are more then welcome to add the HNGamers Master Server to your games and use them as an additional MS resource.

HNGamers master server: master.hngamers.com:28002

In order for your clients to see your server, you will need to forward port 28000 ( or whatever port your game uses ) to the LAN IP of the Game Servers HOST machine. You should then be able to host your game and see this on your clients.

If you have any issues, feel free to contact me at thevisad (at) gmail (dot) com or post here and I will try to address the issue.

There is one requirement I would like to request from anyone using this service. You should come to our website and promote your game! How about that, free advertising AND a free Torque Master Server for use! All good articles will get published directly to the main page for users to read.

Do you mind if we do beta testing off of your master server Sean?

Please feel free, I would like to torture test the server actually. The more users we can get on it the better. So far it has stood the test of time and we have only had minor issues with it (server updates).

I dont know how, but I missed this resource when you first posted it! Now I'm really glad I went to look at the older resources!

Servers should be back up and running. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
