Helen, just saw this. Don't know if it will affect the servers in any way.

Just read the article.  Aren't we UT GotY edition?  I think that is what I installed.

GOTY is actually mentioned on that page. But bottom line, UT99 does not rely on an epic service in order for us to play online games. So we can continue.

But it will probably make it harder for new player to get the game, and then find online games. I bet epic is going to stop their master server. A new player would have to do extra stuff to find online games at first.

Good to know. Just wanted to make sure, looks like most servers won't have issues.  Cool
